Tools & tool notes

Independently developed public artifacts based on industry-wide problems: validators, calculators, dashboards, CLIs, templates, and tool notes. No employer-derived code, data, workflows, or documentation.

Material Identity Readiness Checklist

A one-page, dispute-first self-assessment for scrap and recycling operators: can you prove material quality beyond the grade label, and defend it when a load is downgraded or rejected? Eight sections walk feed identity, lineage, sampling, QA records, calibration, claims evidence, buyer-facing proof, and the workflow points where it all quietly breaks.

Grounded in the material identity layer — measurement, lineage, and QA — and reasoned from public data, public methods, and operator-informed experience. Print it and walk it with your team; every “no” is a place where proof leaks before it reaches the buyer.

Publishing system and validator

A public-safe writeup of the system behind this site: markdown records, human approval fields, confidentiality review, the content validator, and the Cloudflare Pages deployment loop.

The point is practical: show how a small operator publication can keep drafts, public approval, and confidentiality checks in one inspectable workflow.

What earns a place here

This is the filter for the tools page. Each item will be labeled by what it is and held to the same public-safety boundary.

Public tool: A usable artifact: calculator, validator, checklist, template, dashboard, or CLI.
Tool note: A public-safe writeup of independent tooling or methods when the actual tool cannot be shared.
Safety rule: No employer-derived code, data, workflows, documentation, customer data, pricing, plant specifics, or proprietary process detail.
