The framework, in writing
The framework is published here in full, organised the way it is built rather than the way it was written. Each pillar page holds one part of the system, and the supporting articles under it take one piece further. Nothing is dated because nothing here expires: these pages are maintained, not archived.
They define the problem and the vocabulary. The books carry the protocols, the decision matrices and the step by step work, which is the part that does not belong on a public page.
Where to start
If you have never read anything here, start with Authority Foundations. It defines what authority is, how it is measured, how it moves through a site and how it breaks. Everything else assumes it.
If you already know the concepts and want to know what to do in which order, Authority Execution covers the sequence. If you want to know why your Domain Rating keeps rising while nothing else does, Authority Growth is the one.
