Notes on platform practice
Written for people who own a platform rather than buy one. Specific problems, how they actually arise, and what proportionate fixes look like.

Seven things worth examining, what the output should contain — including what is fine — and the questions to ask before accepting an assessment from anyone, us included.
We publish when we have something specific to say, not on a schedule. Everything here is about work we do; none of it is a product pitch dressed as an article.
