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.
