Deposited work.
Two technical notes, each with a DOI, a version, a fixed set of files and an open licence. Both are supplements to published books rather than replacements for them: the note carries the argument in citable form, the book carries the machinery.
They are self-deposited and they are not peer reviewed. Zenodo assigns a DOI to what it is given; it does not referee it. Cite them as technical notes, which is what they are, and read the claims against their sources rather than against the presence of an identifier. Nothing here has been submitted to or accepted by a journal.
Author identity resolves on ORCID 0009-0005-5364-914X, not on the name.
The MESA Framework: A Four-Altitude Diagnostic Model for Institutional AI Governance
Institutional AI governance is usually scored as one capability and reported as one grade. That hides the failure that matters: an institution can hold current policy and still have nothing running at the altitude where the decision is actually made. MESA separates the four altitudes and diagnoses them apart.

A Pattern Language for Production LLM Platforms: Governed Routing, Agent Orchestration, and AI-Native Delivery
A platform built on large language models makes two kinds of decision, and most of its trouble comes from writing both into one clause. The patterns separate the optimisation decision from the governed one, and name the seams where that separation survives contact with production.
