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).

+# Artefact — Education
+
+**Status: stub.** Formal presentation lands in Phase 7. No certificates, transcripts or student identifiers are published.
+
+## The record
+
+- **Master of International Relations and Contemporary Political Theory** — University of Westminster, Centre for the Study of Democracy.
+- **Bachelor of Visual Communication and Fine Arts** — RMIT (Melbourne) and the University of South Australia, 1997–1999.
+- **Music composition and economics** — studied at La Trobe University alongside the composition work described under interests.
+
+## What it proves
+
+Two things the technical record cannot: formal training in argument and political economy, and formal training in visual judgement. Domain-switching is a habit rather than a claim — the degrees are in different fields from each other and from the career.
+
+## Why no computer science degree
+
+Because there is not one, and saying so is cheaper than having it discovered. The self-taught path is documented across this site: the History pages show the eras, the Platform and Edge pages show what came of them.
+
+## Coverage limit
+
+Qualification names, awarding institutions and the years the résumé states are published. Grades, student numbers and the master's completion year are not in the sources and are therefore not stated.

+
+## Music
+Blues and jazz piano and blues harp; played in two bands. Studied music composition at university and kept the piano as the thing that resets the week.
+
+## Fine art
+A fine arts degree and a continuing practice. Drawing and painting taught patience with iteration, which is most of debugging.
+
+## Philosophy
+A degree's worth of it, and it is where the habit of asking what a thing is actually for came from.
+
+## Skiing
+Italy, France, Japan and Australia. Six months based in Meribel in the French Alps as a chalet chef, including the Vallée Blanche glacier run.
+
+## Camping
+Hiking, camping and canoeing, mostly in Victoria. Most recent: a two-day hike through Wilsons Promontory with a group of teenagers in tow.
+
+## Canoeing
+The Yarra, the Otways and the Murray.
+
+## Horse riding
+Grew up riding in the Otways; broke horses from track work back to dressage; guided tours in the Victorian high country; competed in dressage for two years.
+
+## Surfing
+Grew up between Lorne and the Otways, on waves and horses.
+
+## Hiking
+The walking version of the camping answer: long days, small pack, no phone signal.
+
+## Global politics
+The master's was in it. Reading it is a habit, not a credential to display.
+
+## Reading
+History, philosophy, politics, economics — the same four subjects as the degrees, which is either consistency or a rut.
+
+## Cooking
+Worked in many restaurants and as chef in a five-star chalet in Meribel, France.
+
+## Gardening
+Permaculture and a wood-chip, low-input approach to self-sufficiency, with sensors and automation doing the boring parts.
+
+## Food production
+Bees, salami and cheese. Two hives, and salami made annually from four pigs with Italian friends in Benalla.
+
+## Italy and travel
+Five years spent overseas, travelling extensively, with Italy as the standing preference.
+
+## What was deleted, and why
+
+The previous site claimed venues, competition results, swell sizes, distances and named restaurants. None of it could be traced. It has been cut rather than corrected: a single true sentence is worth more than ten specific ones that cannot be substantiated, and an interviewer who asks a follow-up question is entitled to an answer that survives it.
+
+## Coverage limit
+
+Everything above traces to Sam's own notes. Anything not in those notes is absent, not paraphrased.

+# Artefact — Non-IT working history
+
+**Status: stub for the visual treatment.** The roles are final; the presentation lands in Phase 7.
+
+## The roles
+
+| Role | Where | What it involved |
+|---|---|---|
+| Chalet chef | Merribel, France | Meals for chalet guests, kitchen operations, menu planning, dietary requirements, in a high-pressure alpine season |
+| Wine waiter | South Australia and Victoria | Premium wine regions, varietals, food pairing |
+| Horseback tour guide | Victorian high country | Guided tours, rider safety, horse welfare, trail navigation |
+| Stable construction | Mount Beauty, Victoria | A 24-bay stable build — project management, budgeting, hands-on construction |
+| Civil servant | Victorian State Government, Melbourne | Administrative and operational support to state-level programs |
+| Horse trainer and stable hand | Sunbury, Victoria | Care and training of thoroughbreds, exercise, grooming, race-day preparation |
+
+## What it proves
+
+That the engineering sits on a wider working life. Kitchen service and production incidents share a shape; guiding strangers on horses in the high country is risk management with consequences; a stable build is a budget and a schedule held by hand. These are the reasons the technical pages read as practical rather than academic.
+
+## Why this is on a technical site
+
+Because leaving it out would make the career look narrower than it is, and because the years it occupies are otherwise unexplained.
+
+## Coverage limit
+
+Descriptions are limited to what the résumé and the evidence notes corroborate. Roles, employers' towns and the type of work are stated; no employer is named beyond the region, and no claim is made about scale, revenue or headcount that the sources do not carry.
