Topics
Four subjects, and one that stays off the list on purpose.
Data
Company data, business registers, legal entity identity, provenance, and why databases disagree.
Privacy
Privacy as a design question, data minimisation, and the consequences of irreversible disclosure.
Ventures
Testing business ideas, the distance between a good idea and a viable business, and what the collapsing cost of finding out changes.
Systems
Poorly designed markets and platforms, and systems that are formally correct and practically broken.
What is not a pillar here
Law. It appears whenever it is necessary for privacy, governance, evidence, data or system design, and it will not become a subject in its own right. Civil litigation and disciplinary law in particular are not what this publication is for, and a reader who arrives expecting legal commentary has the wrong address.
