The Three Lenses

Lens 1: The Profit Identity

Profit = Revenue − Costs

This is not a framework. It's an accounting identity — it's true by definition, which means it's automatically MECE. You can't miss anything because there's nowhere else for profit to come from or leak to.

Revenue decomposes into Volume × Price. Costs decompose into Fixed + Variable. That's it. Any problem about financial performance — profits down, margins shrinking, revenue flat — enters through this door.

Shameful Podcast ARG Solver

This tool was created for the Shameful Podcast competition. It performs the following tasks:

Monitors the podcast RSS feed and downloads the latest episode automatically.
Transcribes the episode using a local AI model running in PyTorch using CUDA cores to massively parallelize on the GPU.
Identifies the secret word for each episode using fuzzy string searching.
Determines the secret phrase by applying a coherence algorithm to find the most likely arrangement of the five words.

On the day of the competition, this tool solved the challenge just 9 seconds (!) after the episode was published.
