Frameworks

Original models for product strategy, customer growth, and designing for trust.

I build frameworks because I think the best work happens when you have a clear lens to look through.

Over 20 years of listening to customers, building products, and advising companies, I've found that the problems worth solving tend to share structural patterns.

The frameworks below are how I make sense of those patterns. They're built from research, tested in practice, and designed to be useful to anyone who builds products or runs a business.

Each one is a tool. Use what's useful. Adapt what isn't. And if you want to go deeper, subscribe to my newsletter where I share the thinking behind the thinking.

Frameworks

  • The Crisis Information Design Framework

    A three-layer model for designing trust when it matters most. Diagnose the verification gap, prioritize information needs, execute trauma-informed design.

  • The Three Pillars of Preeminence

    A strategic methodology that aligns product and AI investment to three growth levers: utility, competitive advantage, and differentiation. Developed in partnership with Jay Abraham.

    From the forthcoming book Preeminence (2026)

  • AI Transparency Framework

    A decision model for evaluating whether, when, and how to deploy AI. Because the most expensive AI mistake is a successful deployment of the wrong thing.
