Identifying what evaluation systems are filtering out

Every system (whether it's an R&D pipeline, a hiring process, or a research methodology) runs on foundational assumptions that eventually go unexamined. When a problem gets stuck, it's usually not because people aren't working hard enough, but because something upstream was decided long ago, became load-bearing, and nobody's in a position to question it anymore. Everyone inside the system has context, history, and incentives that make those assumptions invisible.

I offer a structured, independent audit of those assumptions. The approach applies mathematical and scientific reasoning to problems that are usually treated as purely organizational or strategic (not to replace domain expertise, but to pressure-test the logic underneath it). The value is the combination of formal rigor from someone with no institutional position to protect, no prior commitment to the existing framework, and a demonstrated ability to work across disciplinary boundaries.

This isn't a guarantee of answers. It's a second pair of eyes with an unusual toolkit and no reason to tell you what you already believe. Useful when others have been stuck on something long enough to suspect the problem might not be where they've been looking.
