# 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.
