Claim Audit
Separate assertion from evidence and identify unsupported confidence.
DO LESS. PROVE MORE.
Make fewer claims.
Prove the ones that matter.
Complex technical work often fails the credibility test not because teams do too little, but because they claim too much. Do Less. Prove More. is a practical field guide to setting proof boundaries, defining evidence obligations and reducing residual uncertainty before a decision depends on the work.
THE BOOK
From activity to defensible evidence.
This book is for senior engineers, architects, AI/ML practitioners, technical product and program leaders and technology executives who need to make consequential decisions without pretending uncertainty has disappeared.
Its central idea is simple: every meaningful claim creates a proof obligation. The job is not to create the appearance of completeness. The job is to define what is being claimed, test what matters and state what remains unknown.
FIELD TOOLS
Use the ideas before the book is finished.
Proof Boundary Canvas
Define where a claim applies, where it does not and what conditions matter.
Proof Discipline Check
Score whether the evidence process is explicit, bounded and reproducible.
Test Sufficiency Check
Ask whether the test set is adequate for the decision being made.
AI Evaluation Scope Builder
Frame what an AI evaluation can and cannot support.
ESSAYS & NOTES
Ideas in motion.
Short essays and field notes will extend the book with examples, counterexamples and evolving ideas around claims, proof obligations, trust boundaries and residual uncertainty.
Essay publishing begins after the core book manuscript is locked.
READER LAB
Test the ideas on real work.
Glossary
Claim, proof obligation, evidence sufficiency, proof boundary, residual uncertainty and weakest trust boundary.

THE COMPANION BOOK
Leading outcomes is the other half of the problem.
The Outcome Leader focuses on turning strategy into measurable outcomes through clarity, decision rights, mobilization and evidence.
