Four working papers and one archival series, in progress.
Total Cost per Successful Goal (TCSG)
preprint — not yet peer reviewedA dual-axis reporting framework for AI-assisted work: an environmental axis (ECSG) and a human-burden axis (HCSG), both normalised per successfully verified goal rather than per output. Includes a feasibility pilot of the measurement harness and a denominator-governance protocol for auditability.
