01 — scope & evidence
Orientation
Gather briefs, stewards, risks, and constraints. Map decision flows and custody gaps before any build.
Verified path
Institutional Design Studio
Private AI, decision architecture, and governed workflows for serious institutions.
Currently drafting
Human Engine designs the structural layer beneath tools so judgement is traceable, knowledge is durable, and delivery stays auditable. Built for executives, boards, and operating leaders.
Time Horizon
7+ yrs
Built for continuity, not campaigns.
Practice
Institutional
Structural standards for governance and digital work.
Mode
Evidence
Every release is recorded and auditable.
What we do
Services that structure
Architecture, governance, and interface systems for institutions where decisions carry weight. Plain terms first, structural rigor beneath.
Advisory & Governance
Diagnostic briefs, decision architecture, stewardship models, and risk controls for AI and human workflows.
System Design & Engineering
Private AI systems, governed interfaces, and workflow frameworks integrated into your stack; audited and inheritable.
Operationalization & Training
Playbooks, custody rituals, and steward training so standards persist beyond the build.
Retainer / Ongoing Support
Sustained oversight: releases annotated, performance measured, and compliance tracked.
Institutional Statement
Architecture for clarity and custody
We design the structural layer beneath tools, platforms, and workflows. Decisions become traceable, knowledge persists, and governance is baked into the interfaces people use every day.

Sydney / Australia
Operating across civic, science, technology, and cultural environments with long-horizon stewardship and accountable delivery.
Active Briefs
04 in flight
Governance dashboards, research field kits, interoperability standards, and archival programs.
How engagements work
Structured delivery with accountable handover.
Orientation, design/build, deployment, and support—each phase recorded, auditable, and owned by named custodians.

Design / Build
Design decision architecture and governed workflows. Build private AI and interfaces inside your stack with recorded decisions.

03 — handover
Deployment
Release versioned systems with audits and training. Assign custodians and rituals so the system can be inherited.

Support
Continuous oversight: upgrades, compliance shifts, and performance evidence with recorded releases.

Domains / Work
Four fields of custody
Civilisation, Science, Technology, Culture. Each field is treated as structural work: governed decisions, coherent semantics, and interfaces that hold institutional memory—not campaigns.
Stewardship-Ready
Civic Systems01
Civilisation
Standards for civic infrastructures with architectural rigor, clarity, and public accountability.
Research Environments02
Science
Evidence-first environments that protect lineage, provenance, and open inquiry for research institutions.
Platforms03
Technology
Blueprint-grade interfaces and standards for platforms and enterprise software that must be trusted.
Archives04
Culture
Measured systems for galleries, foundations, and archives where memory and stewardship matter.

EngagementResponse in 3 business days
Engage the studio with institutional clarity.
Briefs, audits, and custodianship programs open through direct dialogue. Bring evidence and stewards; we will open the ledger and record the system.
Protocols
Auditable releases; annotations and custody rituals recorded.
Stewards
Principals + custodians; no hand-offs without audits.
