Who maintains this wiki?
James Varga is the sole author and editor. Content draws on direct operating experience across 13 businesses, published writing on Medium and Substack, conference talks, policy contributions, and formal advisory work. See Profile and history for full background. The site is built on Mintlify, version-controlled in GitHub, and uses structured MDX templates for every page type.What are the editorial standards?
Factual language over promotional. Every page states what something is and how it works before stating why it matters. Claims are grounded in direct experience or cited sources. No unverified statistics. No hype. UK English. Short active sentences. Operator tone. Technical terms are defined on first use. Entity clarity. The primary entity on every page is defined in the first two paragraphs. This ensures both human readers and AI systems can extract the core concept without scanning the full page. Source attribution. Where content originates from a published article, talk, or external report, the source is linked directly. Medium and Substack URLs are included on every content page. External reports (such as the Scottish Scale-Up Panel) are cited with author, date, and context. Structured headings. Every page uses question-shaped subheadings where possible (e.g. “What is the core idea?” rather than “Core idea”). This improves extraction by both search engines and AI systems. Related pages on every page. Every page ends with a Related pages section containing descriptive internal links. This creates a navigable mesh rather than isolated documents.What is the content model?
The wiki is organised into six content types, each with a defined template:| Type | Purpose | Template pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge | Explains a concept or domain | Definition, when it matters, how it works, practical steps, common mistakes, key takeaways |
| Framework | Provides a reusable method | What it is, who it is for, inputs, steps, outputs, metrics, example |
| Project | Tracks an active initiative | What it is, why it exists, what it produces, current status |
| Company | Anchors direct involvement | What it is, role, what it produces, what it proves |
| Role | Captures formal affiliations | What the role is, what James does, why it matters |
| Content | Indexes published outputs | Papers, thoughts, conversations, talks, sources |
How is content created?
New pages are created from source material — published articles, conference talks, advisory notes, or research. Each source is processed into the appropriate template with structured headings, internal links, and frontmatter metadata (title, description, tags). Content is optimised for both human readers and AI extraction. This means: direct answers before elaboration, one concept per section, tables for comparison data, and explicit definitions rather than implied context.How often is content updated?
The wiki is updated continuously as new articles are published, talks are given, or knowledge areas develop. The sitemap reflects the current page inventory. Key knowledge pages are reviewed and enriched when new source material becomes available.How to cite this wiki
