# Task 1: Clean up methodology for external readers

**Plan**: publish-methodology
**Status**: DONE
**Deliverable**: Revised `impact-methodology.md`

## What to do

1. Read `impact-methodology.md` fully.
2. Remove or generalize references specific to this project (e.g.,
   "scan-secrets.sh", specific session IDs, "our conversation").
3. Add an introduction: what this document is, who it's for, how to use it.
4. Ensure every estimate cites a source or is explicitly marked as
   an assumption.
5. Add a "limitations" section summarizing known gaps and low-confidence
   areas.
6. Structure for standalone reading — someone finding this document with
   no context should be able to understand and use it.

## Done when

- The document reads as a standalone resource, not a project artifact.
- A reader unfamiliar with this project could use it to estimate the
  impact of their own AI usage.
