Terms of use

This site describes how we work and what we offer. It is written to be read and understood before anyone talks to us.

Everything on it is general. It describes patterns we see across many companies, and it cannot account for your situation, your contracts or your obligations.

Nothing here is professional advice of any kind. Please do not act on anything on this site as though it had been written for your company, because it was not.

Nothing here is an offer, a quote, or a promise of a result. Any work we do together is governed by the agreement we sign for it, and by no page on this site.

The companies, numbers and situations shown on this site are illustrations. They exist to make a method legible on a page.

They do not describe any real client, and they are not results that anyone should expect.

The words and diagrams on this site are ours. You are welcome to read them, to quote them with attribution, and to link to any page.

The site itself is built with open-source software, which carries its own licences.

Please do not republish a page whole, and please do not present our material as your own work.

Where we link somewhere else, we are pointing at something we think is worth reading. We do not control those sites, and we are not responsible for what they say or do.

We make no promise that this site is always reachable or always current. We change it often, and pages may move.
