The Playbooks
Four volumes covering the frameworks we practice in, written for the person holding the seat rather than for a shelf. Each one is the method we use on live matters, set down in order.

Why these exist
Most institutions do not lose a matter on the facts. They lose on the file: an intake never documented, a timeline that slipped without a written extension, a policy that no longer described what the office did. Each volume is organized around closing those gaps in the order they actually occur.
