Business Leadership · Projects
The Projects branch of Business Leadership — how the work was led. Military leadership translated into civilian program execution: a clear commander's intent, a chartered scope, an evidence-based execution loop, transparent risk management, and a formal after-action review at close. Every program here is presented through the artifacts it actually produced.
What This Is
In an indirect-fire infantry platoon, a mission does not begin with activity. It begins with the commander's intent — a single, plainly stated end state that every subordinate decision is measured against. The fire mission is logged. The plan is rehearsed. When something breaks contact with the plan, you say so out loud, you adjust, and you record why. At the end, you hold an after-action review: what was planned, what happened, what to sustain, what to improve. Nobody is exempt from the AAR, including the person who ran the mission.
That is the operating discipline carried into the work on this site. A program here is not a burst of effort followed by a deliverable. It is a chartered scope, an append-only build log, judgment calls recorded with their rationale, risks scored and owned before they activate, a verification pass before anything ships, and a formal after-action review at close. The methodology base is Six Sigma DMAIC paired with the military after-action review — two systems that agree on one thing: the process is as much a deliverable as the output.
The pages in this section do not assert that capability. They show it. Each program is presented through the artifacts it actually produced — the charter, the phase plan, the risk register, the after-action review — so a hiring manager, a program office, or a veteran-services partner can audit the work rather than take the claim on faith.
Methodology
Every program moves through four layers. A program may add components within a layer, but it does not skip a layer — the structure is what makes the work auditable and recoverable when it is interrupted.
01
Foundation
Declare the program. The charter records the mission, scope, success criteria, and the risks visible at kickoff — written once, revised only by change control.
02
Operating
Run the program. An append-only build log records every meaningful action; a decision log records the judgment calls; a risk register scores and owns the threats.
03
Quality
Protect the work. A verification protocol — written before the verification begins — defines how claims, sources, and outputs are checked before anything is trusted.
04
Closing
Preserve the lesson. No program is complete until its after-action review is written. The lesson is the long-term deliverable; it feeds the next program's charter.
Anchor Program
A founder-operated evidence program chartered to integrate four federal data sources into a single analytic panel, characterize the post-9/11 veteran cohort, and publish an illustrative retention model with a transparent ceiling. Twenty-six days from scaffold to Build v0.16, run under Six Sigma DMAIC and military after-action discipline — and the only program in this section with the full chartered artifact set: charter, executive deck, risk register, and executive summary, all downloadable.
Charter v1.0 · Build v0.16
Four federal sources integrated. Cohort funnel documented row by row. An illustrative logit retention model published with a model card that discloses a synthetic-target ceiling openly. Ten risks scored at charter, each with an owner and a contingency.

Portfolio
Four programs, run through the same operating discipline. Workforce Stability carries the full chartered artifact set; the other three are presented through the same lens — phased execution, risk managed in flight, disclosure over performance — with their analytical depth in the linked case studies.
Anchor Program · Full Artifact Set
An integrated, reproducible evidence base on veteran workforce stability across geography, disability, occupation, and time. Chartered with five auditable objectives, an eight-phase plan, and a ten-risk register — delivered to a standard built to withstand a federal program office, an employer coalition, or an academic reviewer.
Open the Program →Program · County-Grain Composite
Eight federal sources bound into one county-level composite across five domains of veteran regional outcome. Run on a partial-publish contract: when a source breaks schema, the KPI drops to a disclosed proxy flag rather than falsifying a number or blocking the release. A coverage ladder is the release plan, and it is visible.
Open the Program →Program · Two-Tool Delivery
Two federal-grade household-cost indices delivered as a single program: a tract-resolution weekly basket cost and a county-grain monthly shelter-and-family nut. Built from a documented recipe, launched together, and carried through a live publishing incident without shipping a broken state to readers.
Open the Program →Program · Decision Tool
An interactive county-level decision tool — six metric overlays, click-to-drill navigation, a built-in VA disability calculator, eighteen attributed fields per county. Scoped deliberately around what it is and is not, and shipped on an architecture chosen for stability over polish.
Open the Program →Artifacts
The artifacts are not paperwork around the work. They are how the work is held accountable to its own charter.
Work Together
The discipline on these pages is the discipline I bring to every program I run — a clear intent, a documented execution loop, and an honest after-action review at close. If your team needs that, the next step is a conversation.
