Field notes
The workshop frames automation as a response to recurring personal processes rather than as a general-purpose platform. Clarity reads an existing spreadsheet and ranks a concrete financial action against a six-month personal baseline, while the other projects address spoken licensure notes, workout logs, and recipe fragments. The homepage says each case study exposes its stack and tradeoffs, and labels the demonstration data as invented.
