I take on a limited number of collaborations where the I·V·O Lens can produce a genuinely different reading, instrument or intervention.
Read · Design · Instrument · Research
A grounded reading of a team, organisation, process, design question or AI system — including the relations and observer positions shaping it.
Explore system reading →Training, AI readiness, workflow design and pilots that begin with the relations already present — not with a technology looking for a use.
Explore applied work →Experimental software and interfaces available for pilots, research collaborations and adapted implementations.
Explore the instruments →Joint inquiry using I·V·O as an analytical framework, observation protocol, notation, interface or hypothesis-generating model.

I come to your organisation when something keeps getting discussed, postponed or solved around. I don't start with the director. I start with the people at the base — the ones who feel the system most directly and are asked least often.
By the end of the day, I sit with the leadership team. No report. No PowerPoint. You get a clear verbal field read: what the current space makes possible, where friction builds, and which single shift would change the dynamic.
I·V·O can be taught, but it becomes useful when it is applied to an actual system. Training and implementation therefore begin with the question, relations and observer positions already present.
For AI, the central question is not simply what can be automated. It is how AI changes selection, decision power, attention and possibility inside an existing human system.
Engagements range from a focused team session to a designed pilot or implementation trajectory.
The State Logger, FOLDFIELD and the observatoria are not only demonstrations. They are experimental instruments for observing, logging and visualising change in dynamic systems.
They can form the starting point for research pilots, field studies, human–AI interaction, longitudinal reflection and adapted interfaces — without presenting experimental tools as established clinical products.
When an existing tool is not enough, an experimental interface, logger, visualisation or research instrument can be designed around the system being studied.
I collaborate where I·V·O can function as an analytical framework, experimental notation, observation protocol, visualisation architecture, human–AI interface or research instrument.
Relevant fields include systems science, HCI, AI, design research, organisational dynamics, complexity, perception and exploratory work around mental health.
The work is strongest when the situation is genuinely systemic and there is room to investigate rather than confirm a predetermined answer. I am not looking to fill capacity; I select collaborations where a different reading can materially change what happens next.
Apply IVO as an analytical or reflective lens in an agreed professional context.
Develop and deliver IVO-based learning, workshops or institutional programmes.
Integrate IVO logic, notation or field-state architecture into technology.
Use IVO instruments and applications across teams, services or institutions.
The theoretical foundation of IVO — whitepaper, notation, ethics, safety principles — is freely available for reading, research and education under Creative Commons.
Commercial use of any kind requires a license. The open layer builds the ecosystem. The licensed layer sustains the work.
