Case studies

Work with a visible evidence boundary.

What caused each system to exist, what Mick directed, what proved difficult, what is actually implemented, and what remains outside the claim.

B.O.T.S. 5

A local-first AI campaign harness and native Linux desktop built around bounded execution, explicit authority, durable evidence and human acceptance.

Linux V0.2 is accepted for Mick's current use, with source published and tagged v0.2.0. Its control plane adds explicit capabilities, tools, execution, receipts and plugins. Plugins remain trusted in-process code; broader Linux compatibility and installed launcher matching remain unqualified.

Organisational Memory + OMC

Repository-centred project memory with explicit authority, provenance and deterministic retrieval.

Repository governance is active, with Stage 8 complete and Stage 9 under way. OMC's deterministic retrieval was built and then parked; no implementation work is authorised while it is paused, and resuming it needs a fresh decision.

  • provenance
  • retrieval
  • governance
  • Git

Story Audio

A resumable local-AI production system for turning long-form writing into directed, assembled audio.

The production pipeline is active and incomplete; this is not presented as a finished audiobook system.

The Great Australian Road Trip

A closed 30-part personal-edition prose work, with a separate audio adaptation now in active production.

The 30-part prose edition is closed. Its downstream audio adaptation is separate and active.

  • long-form writing
  • editorial workflow
  • production continuity

The practical Linux, storage, networking and recovery work that keeps Mick’s development and local-AI systems usable.

An ongoing operating capability, described without drift-prone inventory claims or exposed-service detail.
