People Analytics Toolbox research

Nineteen live, independently-versioned analytical microservices — each with its own Postgres schema and typed contract — exposed over HTTP for engineers and MCP for AI agents. From those services come composable measurement and decision building blocks (PA Instruments) that combine into finished products like a Leadership Index and an analytics-plan generator. The platform consumer apps compose against. Research arc forthcoming — likely the principal-issues thesis, the platform-not-product positioning, and adaptive measurement as the behavioral-science-in-the-algorithms exemplar.

Why this matters

The portable claim — what this research lets you understand outside the surface domain.

The principal-issues thesis is the spine. It says every domain has a load-bearing measurement set, and most domains are stuck because they have not named it. People analytics is the demonstration; the same logic applies to any field where rigorous measurement is unevenly distributed across organizations. The platform is built to make load-bearing-set delivery executable at solo cadence — which is the operating-system claim underneath every other portfolio item.
