The Garden method

Capture records, recollections, people, events, places, objects, claims, motifs and boundaries without forcing premature narrative.

Identify source type, evidentiary strength, sensitivity, rights-holder, custody, confidence and publication conditions.

Connect material through an evidence-preserving claim graph rather than reducing a life to one chronological document.

Develop themes and narrative while keeping fact, recollection, allegation, inference and alternate interpretation distinguishable.

Create purpose-bound outputs through explicit release bundles, redaction, consent and audience-specific publication gates.

Preserve source, revisions, custody, access and succession so the material remains intelligible after tools and custodians change.
