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 — Interests · one honest line each
|
||
|
||
**Status: stub for the visual treatment.**
|
||
|
||
## 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.
