Task 1: Clean up methodology for external readers
Plan: publish-methodology
Status: DONE
Deliverable: Revised impact-methodology.md
What to do
- Read
impact-methodology.mdfully. - Remove or generalize references specific to this project (e.g., "scan-secrets.sh", specific session IDs, "our conversation").
- Add an introduction: what this document is, who it's for, how to use it.
- Ensure every estimate cites a source or is explicitly marked as an assumption.
- Add a "limitations" section summarizing known gaps and low-confidence areas.
- 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.
