Working paper

AI-Prepared Dashboards Add Data Faster Than People Can Decide

This paper argues that AI-prepared dashboards and digests add information faster than people can act on it, and proposes a Decisions & NBA Board: a short queue of decisions, each with cited evidence, options, an owner with authority and a dated check on the result. It matters because a report that changes no decision is a cost. No hypothesis has been tested.

Communicating Engineering Team Effectiveness to Executive Peers

This paper proposes a field-testable operating model for CTOs: one traceable evidence base that executive peers can inspect for their own jobs without relying on the CTO's persuasion. It matters because senior leaders often judge engineering by remembered incidents and impressions. The six hypotheses have not been tested.

Unleash DD214 as the Olive Button

This paper proposes Olive Button, a Blue Button-style FHIR implementation pattern for DD214 service data that helps meet the 30-, 120-, and 180-day mandates of Executive Order 14426 using existing systems and standards. It matters because the order now requires records sharing at separation. The FHIR mapping is an implementation hypothesis, and the order does not mandate FHIR.

Plan EHR Integrations in Months, and Help Your Customers Shorten the Wait

This landscape review tells digital health executives how long an EHR integration takes and what shortens the wait. It gives a planning range of six to twelve months from kickoff to first customer live, most of it spent on customer and EHR-vendor steps rather than code. The range is a judgment from public sources, not a measured median.

Biotech commercialization should be treated as an engineering discipline

An editorial arguing that biotech commercialization should be run the way engineering is run, with specifications, measurement, and repeatable process, rather than treated as a series of one-off translational events. The piece is indexed under artificial intelligence, biotechnology, commercializatio

Research Code Sharing in Support of Gold Standard Science

This article argues that sharing research code in an open access, version-controlled repository benefits science and individual researchers, and aligns with the NIH Gold Standard Science program and the FAIR and TRUST principles. Pairing a cited data snapshot with a versioned code release lets reade

How the Diabetes Research Hub Will Modernize and Enhance Diabetes Data Utilization

This article describes the Diabetes Research Hub (DRH), a centralized data management system and repository for gathering, storing, analyzing, and using diabetes data for research. It matters because advanced analytics on large datasets can support a nuanced understanding of physiological patterns a
