Tools
Tools and workflows that are useful enough to write down.
This page is for my own tools, checklists, workflows, and small artifacts. External healthcare AI products and infrastructure belong in Reviews, where the question is whether a claim should be trusted.
Writing
- A static site, because fast pages and durable URLs matter.
- Notes that can turn into essays without needing a publishing ceremony.
- Dates, source links, and caveats when the claim depends on evidence.
Data work
- SQL when the question needs a spine.
- Spreadsheets when the workflow is still being discovered.
- Small scripts when the repeated mistake is obvious.
AI buildout
- Agents when they are bounded by a real task and a review path.
- Retrieval when the source boundary matters.
- Evals when the failure mode is too expensive to discover by vibes.
Operations
- Checklists for recurring work.
- Reports that show expected, observed, and unexplained states.
- Dashboards only when the metric can be traced back to a real source.
