Why I write about research methodology

Innogath is built on a specific reading of how AI changes serious research workflow. Before each product decision, I read the methodology literature it draws from — PRISMA for systematic reviews, the Cochrane Handbook for evidence synthesis, Barbara Minto and Ethan Rasiel for strategy work, Sönke Ahrens on Luhmann's actual Zettelkasten — and apply what survives that reading to the workspace I'm shipping.

The articles on this site are the working notes from that reading, published when the take is sharp enough that I would have wanted to find it three months earlier. They are not detached academic essays. They are notes from someone designing the tool, applied to the methodology the tool is meant to support.

I am not a credentialed academic researcher, and I do not claim that authority. I am a founder who has spent the last year building research tooling, talking to users whose work depends on getting the methodology right, and reading what the literature says about what that methodology should be. Read the writing accordingly: it is the perspective of someone designing the workspace, not someone who has defended a thesis.

How AI fits into the writing on this site

The honest answer: every article on this site is researched and drafted with Innogath, our own AI research workspace. Innogath does the SERP analysis, the source collection, and the first drafts; I verify every cited statistic and DOI against the original source, write the framing and the take, and publish the result under my name. If a number is wrong or a source is misquoted, that is on me, not on the tool.

I disclose this for two reasons. The first is that Google's Helpful Content guidance explicitly asks creators to make AI assistance self-evident. The second is that an AI research workspace whose own marketing site hides AI assistance would be lying twice — once about the product, once about how the writing was made. Neither is a position I want to defend.

Where to find me

If you find a factual error in any article on this site, email me. I will fix it and credit the report.

The product these notes are about.

Innogath is the workspace where I do the research that ends up on this site. If you want to see what the methodology looks like in a tool, the homepage is the place to start.
