Methodology PapersIn functional hierarchies every unit owns a process, but no one owns the value flow that crosses units and is realized at the receiving actor. This paper, written for managers, product and engineering leaders and operations, presents the Æilus v2.0 role and process model as a way to make value ownership explicit without adding command layers. It sets out the six roles, the mandatory process groups and events, an artifact allocation per role, an adoption path, and the risks of role inflation, bureaucracy and value theatre with their safeguards.

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 PapersManagers use the word value constantly but rarely say for whom it exists, and fall back on money as the only shared measure. This entry paper of the series gives practitioners a working vocabulary grounded in the Theory of Value Management: value systems, the four forms of value, value elements, anti-value, value flows and transformers, observation without money, the perspective inversion and the transformer efficiency formula, closing with a one-page glossary.
