Which notes are on page 17 of Will's Journal?

Nested brass frames. Thesis: AI GETS BRAND WRONG FIXING. AI Visibility

When AI Gets Your Brand Wrong: Fixing Hallucinated Facts at the Source

AI keeps a stale address or wrong founding year because leftover sources still teach it. Fix owned NAP, schema, and residue pages, then re-test ChatGPT.

20 MIN
A slim press folder. Thesis: BUILD EPK BOOKERS SCAN THIRTY. Websites

Build the EPK Bookers Can Scan in Thirty Seconds

Build an EPK bookers can scan in thirty seconds: name, short bio, listen links, downloadable assets, and booking contact above the fold. Keep fans elsewhere.

18 MIN
A small stack of coins. Thesis: ACCESSIBILITY AS CRAFT COMPLIANCE THEATER. Websites

Accessibility as Craft, Not Compliance Theater

Accessible marketing websites treat keyboard, contrast, media, and motion as craft. Use WCAG 2.2 AA as the floor — not a checkbox costume on brand cinema.

16 MIN
A violet ring. Thesis: SCOPING AGENTIC PILOT PROVES VALUE. AI Agents

Scoping an Agentic Pilot That Proves Value in Five Days

Scope a 2–6 week agent pilot as one job, real data, an evaluator, and a cage. Five days proves the spike; extra weeks buy access, labels, and a second measure.

20 MIN
A violet ring. Thesis: PIN MODEL GATE UPGRADE CATCH. AI Agents

Pin the Model, Gate the Upgrade: Catch Agent Drift Before Customers Do

Yes—pin production agents to explicit model IDs. Floating aliases change behavior with no deploy. Upgrade only through a golden-set gate you actually run.

20 MIN
Amber node beads on a dark rail. Thesis: N8N ERROR WORKFLOWS OPERATORS ACTUALLY. Automation

n8n Error Workflows Operators Actually Read (Not Just Slack Noise)

Wire one n8n Error Trigger handler with a real alert contract: severity, owner, execution link, and mute rules — then attach it to every production flow.

18 MIN
A small stack of coins. Thesis: SELF HOSTED N8N N8N CLOUD. Automation

Self-Hosted n8n vs n8n Cloud: Cost, Control, and When Each Wins

n8n Cloud wins when you will not staff the box. Self-host for residency, private nets, or high volume. Queue mode is a scale step, not a hosting default.

19 MIN
Nested brass frames. Thesis: AEO AUDIT CHECKLIST RUN BEFORE. AI Visibility

The AEO Audit Checklist I Run Before Touching a Client Domain

An AEO audit is a 10-step checklist you run before changing a domain: freeze prompts, baseline answers, score entities and schema, then rank a 30-day plan.

23 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: WRITE ANSWER FIRST BREATH THEN. AI Visibility

Write the Answer in the First Breath — Then Earn the Depth

Put the answer in the first 40–80 words as a standalone lift, then earn depth with tables and receipts. That is how inverted-pyramid pages get quoted.

20 MIN
A bound folio. Thesis: CASE STUDY PAGES SELL NEXT. Websites

Case Study Pages That Sell the Next Project

A case study sells the next project when it shows problem, decisions, honest proof, and a CTA for that class of work — not a gallery of pretty screenshots.

20 MIN
Amber node beads on a dark rail. Thesis: PICK ONE SOURCE TRUTH TOUR. Websites

Pick One Source of Truth for Tour Dates — Then Let Everything Else Read It

Pick one source of truth for tour dates — Bandsintown or Songkick — then let your site and platforms read it so managers update once only. Make that the rule.

22 MIN
Two clipped paper packets. Thesis: OBSERVABILITY AGENTS TRACES SCORES DASHBOARD. AI Agents

Observability for Agents: Traces, Scores, and the Dashboard Ops Actually Reads

Provider dashboards miss silent wrongness. Agent observability is traces with redacted tool I/O, evaluator scores, and cost — the screen ops actually reads.
