Public automation lab and reporter's notebook.

Workflow systems, Google Sheets tools, Apps Script snippets, AI-assisted operations, and implementation notes with practical artifacts.
Reporter's Notebook
Public research logs, source trails, FOIA/public-record methods, and cleaned investigation notes that show the evidence path.
A practical first lab build for solo consultants: a Google Sheets CRM that turns follow-up from memory into a repeatable operating system.
