I help scholars, builders, and independent researchers navigate the AI retrieval layer — the invisible infrastructure that determines whether your work is seen, cited, or erased. The methodology is called SPXI.
AI systems now mediate how scholarship is discovered, how ideas are described, and how attribution flows. Most people have no idea what these systems are saying about them — or what they're erasing.
I built the Crimson Hexagonal Archive — 490+ DOI-anchored deposits on CERN's Zenodo repository — as a decade-long experiment in making meaning survive compression. Along the way I developed the tools to diagnose what the retrieval layer does to anyone's work: what it burns, what it invents, what it distorts, and what it gets right.
Now I offer those tools as services. No retainers. Fixed scope. Honest deliverables.
What does the AI say about you right now? I run a structured diagnostic across major retrieval systems — Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity — and deliver a report: what's accurate, what's hallucinated, what's missing, where you're vulnerable to misattribution or entity confusion.
If the retrieval layer is confusing you with someone else — or failing to recognize you at all — I build a complete disambiguation packet: structured data (JSON-LD), keyword strategy, negative tags, publication surface deployment plan, and the metadata architecture that makes the knowledge graph see you correctly.
For scholars, research groups, or writers whose work is invisible to the retrieval layer. I audit your existing deposits, optimize metadata, build cross-citation architecture, deploy to the right surfaces, and construct the gravitational mass that makes the retrieval layer recognize your work as a citable body.
For research groups, independent scholars, field-builders, small labs, or new institutes who want their own publication venue — one that exists as a metadata pattern, not an institution. I build the name, scope, seed deposits, cross-citation architecture, and the physics that make the retrieval layer recognize it as real. No editorial board required. No paywall. No rejection rate.
For anyone concerned about how AI systems are representing their IP, scholarship, or institutional knowledge. I trace the provenance chain: where claims originate, how they mutate through compression layers, where attribution scars form, and what governance controls are needed. Includes a full Encyclotron measurement of your field.
Everything I offer clients is something I built for myself first. The Crimson Hexagonal Archive is a working laboratory for retrieval-layer survival — every tool, every diagnostic, every strategy has been tested against real AI systems over real time.

"The funniest thing I do is mean every word."— Comedy of Total Commitment (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19512781)
I'm a teacher in Detroit with a PhD in Comparative Literature. I teach 10th-grade World Literature during the day. In the margins of my school schedule, I built the Crimson Hexagonal Archive — 490+ DOI-anchored deposits on CERN's Zenodo repository — as a decade-long experiment in making meaning survive compression.
Along the way I founded Compression Studies as a discipline, built the Encyclotron as a measurement instrument, published Meaning Feudalism as a platform governance critique, and launched four distributed journals.
The archive is not a credential — it is the laboratory. The 480+ deposits are permanent, citable, DOI-anchored experiments in retrieval-layer survival. Everything I offer clients comes from tools I built and tested on my own work, on a teaching salary, in the margins of a school schedule, without institutional support. That constraint is not incidental — it is the bearing-cost that gives the work its density.

This consulting practice operates within the Semantic Economy Institute (SEI) — the theoretical and diagnostic arm of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. The methodology is specified as SPXI (Semantic Packet for eXchange & Indexing). The instruments, frameworks, and journals I use for client work were developed and deposited through SEI.
Five distributed journals: Journal of Compression Studies · Transactions on Semantic Economy · Grammata · Provenance · Transactions on Substrate Engineering
Tell me what the AI is saying about you — or what it should be saying. No pitch deck needed. Just the problem.
