Here is an updated explainer for The Specificity Gradient: a conceptual framework I first articulated back in 2021 to structure and manage strategy, product, and design deliverables to get the most value out of them and ensure that the big ideas get transmitted to code. Now that AI agents are a thing, frameworks like these have only gotten more important. • https://doriantaylor.com/the-specificity-gradient • https://youtu.be/dDE_y7Qri9w • https://youtu.be/iiRdzSVKUeI • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=485R4xst-DU&t=20s • https://longnow.org/ideas/about/pace-layers-framework/ • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation_awareness • https://wiki.c2.com/?ConceptualIntegrity 00:00 - preamble 00:11 - introducing the specificity gradient 01:20 - the gradient itself 03:50 - y tho? 05:06 - but first an example 06:11 - why this example? 07:50 - the question 08:42 - the precedent 12:04 - remarks on shearing/pace layers 12:57 - focusing intent 14:11 - restating the problem 15:23 - finale

Consider how much of your life is spent on extract-transform-load. I wanted to put my talks on https://sifa.id (the AT protocol-enabled competitor to LinkedIn), and I was like, hey wait, these are on YouTube already (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb6beINBc3reNTndv-NYS4mUhlS7j32nY). So why not pull them out and transform them? Then I start talking about how design and strategy and consulting artifacts are underpowered, and how Intertwingler (https://intertwingler.net/ ) is what I made to solve them.

back working with sense atlas again now that it isn't too slow to use
