A library is a path, not a pile.
CRAFT Method wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was forged in production.
It was forged by building production software with AI, every day, for months. FIKR Space — eleven integrated products, built solo plus AI — is the live proof point.
EU AI Act high-risk obligations enforceable
Article 12 logging is architectural, not retrofittable. If it isn't built in, it isn't there when the audit arrives.
Insurance exclusions for generative-AI claims live
The financial backstop for AI-introduced defects is narrowing. The liability is moving onto the balance sheet.
The decision is yours. The clock is not.
Before you ask.
Is this really free?
Yes. Every guide is a free download in exchange for your email — you get the PDF instantly plus the occasional field note. Unsubscribe anytime, and we never share your email.
Who are these for?
CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Heads of Engineering at organisations with 20+ engineers already using AI to write code.
Is CRAFT Method tied to a specific AI tool?
No. CRAFT Method is tool-agnostic — it governs how any AI coding assistant is curated, refined, architected, fortified, and tested.
Which guide should I start with?
If you're not sure, start with the CTO's Field Guide — it's the flagship overview. Otherwise, read the "best if" line on each card.
What's the Enterprise Diagnostic?
125 questions across all five practices, plus a 30-minute live debrief. Free during the 2026 launch. The Free Scorecard (25 questions, 5 minutes) is always free.
