Frameworks

Theory
I've published.

Four frameworks for the agentic era — one IAB Tech Lab specification, one cognitive-science measurement model, one psychographic prediction architecture, and one operating methodology for international market entry. All open-access.

Measurement framework · v1.1 · April 2025

EARO

Exposure → Attention → Relevance → Outcome. A holistic model for measuring marketing effectiveness in the age of agentic AI.

Grounded in cognitive science — specifically Dr. John Vervaeke's theories of relevance realization and collective intelligence — EARO replaces attention-only measurement with a four-component model spanning 22 measurable metrics. Explicitly models the Exposure → Attention → Emotion chain so campaigns can be evaluated on the why, not just the what.

E · Was the right person reached in the right context?
A · Did they notice? Did they engage?
R · Was the message meaningful and emotionally resonant?
O · Did it drive the intended business result?
IAB Tech Lab Specification · v5.1 · February 2026

Agentic Audiences (UCP)

A Technical Specification for Embeddings-Based Agent-to-Agent Advertising. Open standard donated by LiveRamp to IAB Tech Lab in Q4 2025.

UCP defines how intelligent agents exchange compact embeddings of 256–1024 dimensions — encoding identity, contextual, and reinforcement signals in a privacy-preserving, interoperable format. RTB-compatible latency through binary quantization. The Vector Alignment Contract (VAC) solves the cross-model interop problem so vectors from different foundation models still produce meaningful similarity.

Vector Alignment Contract · Model negotiation + signed projector artifacts + graceful AdCOM fallback
Economic Settlement · AP2 Verifiable Digital Credentials
Hardware-Rooted Trust · TEE attestation, IETF RATS
Threat Modeling · STRIDE with pseudocode verification flows
Predictive psychographic framework · May 2025

Behavioral Prediction Framework

21 psychographic dimensions for ad activation — designed to predict user propensity to engage with probability above 0.85.

Integrates cognitive, emotional, dispositional and temperamental traits into a single model. Maps directly to adtech activation touchpoints — attention modeling, creative optimization, and media planning — with a JSON schema for real-time bidding integration.

Cognitive Profile · Fluid reasoning, working memory, verbal comprehension, processing speed
Rationality · Instrumental, epistemic, reflective, heuristic reliance
Attachment Style · Secure, avoidant, anxious, disorganized brand relationship orientation
Big Five Personality · Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism
Temperament Profile · Energy, reactivity, sociability, regulation, rhythmicity
Operating methodology · 2024 · Ongoing

7-Step Market Entry Audit

The operating methodology for international AdTech, MarTech, and data vendors entering the US market.

Not a whitepaper — the working framework shipped on every engagement. Time-boxed, decision-oriented. Sequence sourced from years of sell-side and buy-side practice across APAC, EMEA, LATAM, and the Americas. Each step has a measurable output.

01 · GTM strategy development
02 · Product-market fit assessment
03 · Market sizing (TAM · SAM · SOM)
04 · Sales and BD framework
05 · Monetization and growth
06 · Local talent and org structuring
07 · Compliance and privacy alignment

the start.

The whitepapers and methodologies above are open-access. If you're applying them to a specific commercial or technical problem, there's usually more to talk through than fits on a page.
