Why I built this

A short, personal note about who made this and why - since it arrives without a company behind it.

Who's behind this

I'm not a law firm, a vendor, or a consultant with something to sell. By day I'm an executive at Verizon. On my own time I research and write about AI enablement - how people and organizations actually put this technology to work - and a lot of that time goes into building things to see what the tools can really do.

This is one of those things. I came across the Institute's Value Alignment Toolkit, thought it was genuinely good work, and realized it lent itself unusually well to what AI agents can now do. So I built a working version to find out whether that hunch was right.

I have no agenda here

To be clear about motive: I have no commercial interest in this, and there's nothing I'm looking to get from the Institute. Not a job, not a fee, not a partnership I'm angling for. I started it for the experience of building it, and I'm sharing it because it seemed a shame not to.

What happens next is entirely up to you. If you want to take what's here and run with it yourselves, wonderful. If you'd rather talk it through, ask questions, or build on it together, I'd enjoy that too. And if it's simply interesting to look at and nothing more comes of it, that's fine as well. I'd get to write about the experience either way - which, for me, is reward enough. I did this for the love of the game.

It still needs your expertise

One caveat. This needs more work, and specifically it needs the kind of expertise I don't have. I'm not an attorney. You can't get something like this genuinely solid without people who know the domain cold. Where I've misread the Institute's material or made a wrong call, those "errors" don't break anything - they just mean the first draft the tool produces is weaker than it could be, and the person reviewing it has more to correct. That's exactly the sort of thing an expert eye catches, and it's the main reason I wanted to put this in front of you rather than keep it to myself.

If you want the specifics, every skill on The skills page carries a "Where this might be wrong - please check" list pointing at the exact judgment calls I'd most want a lawyer to look at first.
