A system that turns experience into science: The 100-Hour Engine
Forensic Immersion
E² (Experiential Evidence) is not play. It is a systematic protocol.
Standard Protocol Segmented 100 hours per cohort, minute-level time-stamped logs, real-time marking of emotional inflections, expectation violations, and motivation loss.
Dual Recording Field notes + telemetry snapshots. Triangulate each event by context · behavior · outcome.
Cross-Validation Blind inter-cohort review to remove bias.
Quantification Map signals onto SFA (structural axis) × MDML (value axis) to generate a risk heatmap.
Design Translation SSG converts E² into testable design hypotheses; PMO locks verification plans and schedules.
The Experiential Cohorts — PEI
PEI (Player Experience & Insights Group): specialists who capture the why.
The Purist (F2P) Finds the deprivation threshold and fairness-perception collapse. When do non-spenders leave?
The Investor (Light Spender) Traces the payment resistance line and price-fairness inflection. Where does intent flip to aversion?
The Leviathan (VIP) Stress-tests the economy. Audits inflation risk and value-preservation mechanisms. Where are the economic limits?
The Vanguard (Hardcore) Presses system boundaries. Reproduces deadlocks and chain side effects, isolates causes. What combinations break the system?
The Architect's Toolkit — SSG
SSG (Strategy & Solutions Group): architects who turn E² into structural solutions using our proprietary suite of analytical frameworks.
SFA | The System MRI Full-body scan of core systems. Identifies structural faults and coupling risks.
MDML | The Strategist’s Compass 54-factor value map. Surfaces hidden costs and leverage points.
NOVA-TRIZ | The Architect’s Blueprint Principles for maximum impact with minimum intervention.
M-ABC | The Keystone Verification logic for an Architecture–Behavior–Commerce virtuous cycle.
The 4-Step Blueprint & Orchestration — PMO
PMO (Project Management Office): the conductor that links design to execution.
Step 1 | Experiential Audit Normalize E², frame problem hypotheses, set impact × urgency priorities.
Step 2 | Structural MRI Confirm root causes with SFA. Map risks at coupling junctions.
Step 3 | Value Optimization Compass Use MDML to choose the leverage move that maximizes effect per unit input.
Step 4 | Architectural Blueprint Finalize NOVA-TRIZ design spec, release plan, and risk matrix.
PMO integrates quality, schedule, and risk across all stages and remains the client's single communication channel.
