The reading, the thinking and the principles underneath the work.

Twenty seven years of it, in no particular order of importance. Some of this is doctrine. Some of it is a book that changed how I saw a problem, and some of it is a post from 2012 that I would write differently today and have left exactly as it was written anyway, because a dated record is worth more than a tidy one.

Command, and what the years taught

Where the standard came from, and who enforced it.

Prevention doctrine

Prevention. Response. Options. In that order. #NEVERHERE™ is the destination and everything below is how we argue for it.

The reading behind the work

Sun Tzu, Locke, and the psychology of who gets selected and why. None of it is decoration. The arguments underneath prevention are old arguments: people have been writing about deterrence, obligation and the cost of being unprepared for a very long time, and the work goes better when you know what they already settled.

Policy, law and liability

The part nobody reads until it matters.

The business of it

What it costs, who to hire, and how to tell the difference.

Where it all runs

Standards that get enforced, rehearsed long before they are needed, and held on the days nobody is watching. That is the whole argument underneath the P.R.O. Model™.
