Phase 1: content source of truth — 40 documents across six areas

Satisfies the Phase 1 Definition of Done:

- content/ validates cleanly against the frozen schema. `make validate`
  reports OK: 40 document(s) validated, 0 violations.
- Six areas exist, each with an L1 entry: ai-overview, platform-overview,
  edge-overview, products-overview, history-overview, about-overview.
- All six areas have an L2 entry: ai-systems, platform-estate, edge-fleet,
  products-business, history-engagements, about-narrative.
- 28 L3 artefact stubs under content/<area>/l3/. Every artefacts[].url in
  every document resolves to one of them; the validator proves there are no
  dangling references (and a deliberately broken copy exits 1).
- Every metric value traces to a source line in the evidence notes or the
  approved metric set in reference/content-map.md (per-metric citations are
  recorded in the AUD-131 completion comment).
- Every document carries confidence and last_verified=2026-10-26; the
  validator rejects a missing or non-canonical value.
- docs/content-redaction.md records the redaction pass: identifiers, third
  party personal data, credentials and infrastructure detail excluded, with
  reasons, plus the two numbers that are reported rather than smoothed.

Honesty positions held: 3 businesses active (12 adoptions over time),
Where-Woof deployed and pre-market, failures kept in (edge-failures), no
promotion of in-progress work to delivered.

No site code, no templates, no CSS, no rendering (Phase 2).

+# About
+
+**Claim.** A career built by self-teaching — from a childhood in the 1980s with a borrowed language reference, through fifteen years of agency delivery, a working life outside technology, and five years overseas — now concentrated on AI systems, the platforms they run on, and the hardware at the edge.
+
+**Status.** Current. Melbourne based, and flexible about how the work is done — remote, hybrid, office, or travel.
+
+**What this page is for.** The other five areas prove what can be built. This one explains where the judgement came from: a non-technical working life, a fine-arts and philosophy education, and a period spent building a business while raising two children.
+
+**Start here.** [The narrative](about-narrative.md) — including an honest account of 2020 to 2026.
