Methodology PapersPractices copied from other organisations often fail to deliver, because a practice carries its form but not the value system that made it work. This paper, for managers and product and engineering leaders, defines a practice as a local value system with a declared value hypothesis, sets out when a practice is admissible under domain policies, and gives a structure for building and maintaining a practices collection.

Theoretical ResearchOrganisations usually measure AI as a digital employee: tasks completed and headcount avoided. This paper shows, from Value Management Theory, why that frame measures AI where it looks strongest and hides rework and anti-value on the receiver side. It gives managers and AI programme leads a way to place AI as a transformer role in a value system, name it, draw it in a Value System Schema and measure it where its output is consumed.

Methodology PapersTechnical support is usually managed as a cost centre, which hides the value it creates for clients and the product. This paper restates the Æilus model of support as a chain of transformers that convert anti-value into value, gives the source's two coefficients (VAM and ACM) minimal formulas, fixes whose value they measure, and proposes a measurement protocol a support organisation could adopt.

Theoretical ResearchArtificial intelligence weakens the link between labour and value on which taxation, welfare and GDP were built. This paper asks whether a state can instead be governed by sensing and rebalancing value flows across society. It sets out a value-flow theory of the state, a governing mechanism with explicit limits, the failure modes of that mechanism and a method for testing it, packaged from the Axiacracy research programme. It is a theory and a design under test: no simulation results are reported.
