Methodology and privacy
This map is intentionally abstracted. It does not expose private conversations, confidential work, or sensitive details. Instead, it translates recurring themes, public milestones, professional focus areas, and selected reflections into a structured visual experience.
The goal is not to archive everything. The goal is to make the arc of the work visible.
