Documenter 00fa15f98f 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 — 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.
