SOURCE-LINKED GUIDANCEMAINE / INDEPENDENT PUBLIC-SERVICE RESEARCH
Start with the people. Follow the work. Find the owner.
Explore the systems, roles, and software in the proposed design.
01 / AN EXPLORABLE MODEL
Systems. Service journeys. Software.
Every connection opens a record.
All records still work. Enable the fireworks when you are ready.
Design coverage, not a certified
census of government positions.
Find your way in. Choose a service cluster, a journey, or a role.
Follow a connection. Select a node to see the record behind it.
Inspect the boundaries. Open the sources, human authority, and failure path.
02 / FROM A NEED TO A RESULT
Trace each handoff. See where software assists,
where a person decides, and what happens if it fails.
03 / THE PEOPLE DOING THE WORK
Responsibilities, tools, and limits—not just job titles.
Search the 100 role archetypes in the supplied design.
Role archetypes, not a census of individual employees.
04 / AUTOMATION WITH DEFINED BOUNDARIES
The model separates assistance, routine execution,
and decisions reserved to authorized people.
Find current instructions, show the source, and make the next step understandable.
SOURCE-LINKED GUIDANCEOrganize evidence, check requirements, and draft material for appropriate review.
VERIFY MATERIAL FACTSPerform authorized, bounded operations with recorded results and recovery paths.
EXPLICIT PERMISSIONSKeep contested findings and consequential judgments with the competent authority.
HUMAN AUTHORITY05 / OPEN THE UNDERLYING WORK
Inspect the source ledger, proposed safeguards, and complete engineering register. The research and its limitations travel with the design.

The argument behind the public work. Read the complete book, then test the proposed design: who owns the problem, what changes, and how would anyone know it works?
Institutional Cowardice Is Not Honorable. Documentary criticism and opinion. “War” means words and nonviolent public advocacy. Mature language.
