That is the record. The useful part is what it means for the programme you are running now.

How I work

Pragmatic. Standards-informed but not dogmatic. Focused on adoption and outcomes, not documentation for its own sake.

ISO 19650 is the framework, not the product — the goal is a system that people actually use, not a compliance exercise that sits in a folder.

Every engagement starts with understanding how the team actually works, what information they actually need, and what’s realistic to deliver. Tools should embed expertise, not assume it. That means clear processes, practical training, and technology that makes the right thing the easy thing.

Delivery standards scaled across the airport.

Toolchain

How I work with AI

Agent-assisted delivery is how the software on this site gets built: several harnesses, and a different model behind each agent depending on what that agent is for. Naming the tools is the easy half — the half that matters on a programme is what they are not allowed near.

Harnesses
  1. Claude Code
  2. Codex
  3. Cursor
  4. opencode
Models
  1. Claude Opus
  2. Claude Fable
  3. ChatGPT Sol
  4. ChatGPT Luna
  5. DeepSeek V4 Pro
  6. MiniMax M3
  7. Kimi K3
Routing

Each agent gets the model that suits its job — one to plan, another to write volume, a third to argue with the result. No model reviews its own output.

What the agents do

Scaffolding, integrations, migrations, test fixtures — work that is large but not subtle. Architecture, review and every change that lands stay mine. Delegation is not abdication.

Why more than one

A model marking its own homework is not a review. Planning, writing volume and attacking the result are different jobs that fail in different ways, so they run on different models in different harnesses — and the disagreements are the most useful thing they produce.

What they never touch

No client information goes into a model. The Capsar screenshots on this site come from a throwaway database seeded with an invented project, and the one build whose captures would have shown real client files has no screenshots here at all.

Why it is written down

On a live programme the question is never whether a supplier uses AI. It is whether they can tell you where, and what happens to your information. This is that answer in writing, before anyone has to ask for it.
