Allocate creative attention using simple indices that balance exploitation of proven ideas with exploration of new concepts. Score tasks 0-22 based on Revenue, Portfolio Value, Engagement, and Exploration—then pick the highest score 90% of the time.

A practical heuristic for allocating creative attention across competing projects, inspired by multi-armed bandit theory. This is not a formal reinforcement learning implementation—it's a pragmatic decision framework that balances exploitation of proven ideas with exploration of new concepts.

Explicit decision boundaries, three-gate closures, and restart protocols enable AI delegation without losing quality or control.

Operational protocols for delegating creative and operational work to AI agents. Decision boundaries, quality gates, restart protocols, and the three-gate closure system—developed through 8 weeks of internal pilot use at NullProof Studio.

Creative work operates on three distinct rhythms (daily, weekly, monthly)—forcing everything onto one calendar creates decision latency and kills both deep work and incubation.

Creative studios often struggle when all work runs on one rhythm. Multi-clock work separates daily shipping, weekly strategy, and monthly dormant review so ideas can mature without chaos.

A three-band operating system (HF/LF/Dormant) for creative studios that protects deep work, reduces task starvation risk, and uses Bandit Scores to balance exploitation with exploration. Developed and tested at NullProof Studio.
