Publications

Field notes from the work.

Working papers, method briefs, and community-facing reports from studies in progress and in the archive. The library grows slowly — one honest study at a time.

  • Working paper
    Forthcoming · 2026
    When the model is wrong in ways only the community can see.

    How ground-truth failures in community-facing AI systems surface first in the judgment of frontline staff — and what evaluation misses when it does not sit in place.

  • Field note
    Draft · 2026
    Trust is a research variable, not a communications problem.

    An institutional essay on why 'community trust' should be measured as an outcome of research design, not managed as a byproduct of it.

  • Method brief
    In development · 2026
    The return-of-knowledge protocol.

    What we owe our partners before we publish: a written protocol for returning findings to community partners in a form they can act on.

  • Community report
    Planned · 2027
    Studying AI-adjacent tools in child and family services.

    First community-facing report from the foundational Auberle partnership on how AI-adjacent tooling is showing up in frontline human-services work.
