The Field Manual

Three guides for moving from dependency to capability. Each path starts small, names its evidence, and gives you a way to stop safely.

30 minutes

Choose one private task you already repeat
Record the data boundary and failure condition
Run a small local model and compare the result

Weekend

Set up a local model server
Create a small document index
Log latency, energy, failures, and escalation decisions

Workshop

Add metered power
Segment the compute network
Publish a measured experiment log

Success criterion: A repeatable private task completes locally, with a written escalation path.

Start with evidence

Know your dependency before choosing your build.
