Work
Methodology, instruments, standards, and corpora published openly. Open source where applicable. Free at the point of use.
The four projects compose by design
- Lodestone orients the operator's practice (the methodology canon).
- Touchstone validates work against quality standards (the measurement substrate).
- cma runs the compound practice loop on the operator's machine (the executable companion to Lodestone).
- Frame Check applies Clarethium methodology in a specific context (frame validation).
Tools
- Frame Check at frame.clarethium.com
Structural framing analysis for any document. Surfaces coverage gaps, voice classification, and sourcing signals. Numerical claims verified against authoritative sources where coverage exists. Free, instant.
- frame-check-mcp on PyPI and GitHub. Apache 2.0
Frame Check as an MCP server. Point any MCP-compatible client at it; the analysis tools become available inside any agent conversation.
- cma on GitHub. Apache 2.0
Executable compound practice loop. Terminal-side companion to Lodestone. Captures failures, surfaces warnings at the moment of action, tracks decisions, detects recurrence patterns.
Standards
- Touchstone Standard on GitHub. CC-BY 4.0
Model-independent verification for AI-coupled work. Eleven measurement layers for output profiling. Reference Python implementation under Apache 2.0.
- Frame Vocabulary Standard at frame.clarethium.com/corpus/library. CC-BY 4.0
Curated catalog of frame patterns in AI-era documents with identification cues, generation affordances, worked examples, and adjacent-frame references. Sixteen entries published.
Methodology and corpora
- Lodestone on GitHub. CC-BY 4.0
Canonical operator methodology for working with AI systems. Stance, loop, calibration, altitude, failure shapes, quality levels, surface protocols, compound practice. Reference manuscript.
- Frame Check methodology at frame.clarethium.com/corpus/methodology. CC-BY 4.0
How Frame Check measures structural framing in documents and verifies numerical claims against authoritative sources. Detection methodology, FVS curation, calibration, honest limitations.
- Source Network calibration at frame.clarethium.com/corpus/calibration. CC-BY 4.0
Per-provider precision, recall, and F1 of the Frame Check Source Network verifiers against a seed corpus of claims with independently established ground truth. SEC EDGAR, FRED, World Bank, Wikipedia, and others.
- Worked examples corpus at frame.clarethium.com/corpus/worked-examples. CC-BY 4.0
Applied analyses of specific public documents. Each entry names the source, runs Frame Check at depth, links detected frame patterns to library entries, and includes commentary on what the method surfaced and what it missed.
