What this set demonstrates
Each tool turns a section of the written thought experiment into something a reader can do rather than only read. Together they model the study’s central commitment: knowledge produced with a community should return to that community in usable form. The tools are static, dependency-free HTML/CSS/JS pages designed for GitHub Pages, consistent with the dissertation’s instrument architecture (no server, no database, no data collection).

Friction Audit Protocol
A guided walkthrough that audits any AI-touched assignment: what cognitive work was the task designed to produce, where does that work now occur, and is the remaining difficulty productive or exclusionary?

An interactive Bronfenbrenner model. Click each nested system to see how the study’s findings land there, which friction dimension maps to it, and why the exosystem is the leverage point.

Explore the systemsDissemination Pipeline Map
Trace how raw study data becomes dissertation findings, then flows back to the community through participant, scholarly, professional, and local tracks — with the audience, artifact, and channel for each.
Reciprocity by design
Trace the pipelineOutcome Scenario Explorer
Choose a research outcome — null results, an unsupported framework, or findings that contradict the literature — and see the pre-committed interpretive moves the study makes in response.

No data collection. Every tool runs entirely in the browser; nothing is stored or transmitted, mirroring the IRB posture of the dissertation’s instrument suite. Framework-honest. The tools present the Pedagogical Friction Framework as an empirical question, not a settled conclusion — the Scenario Explorer exists precisely to show what happens when the data push back. Practitioner-first language. Framework vocabulary appears alongside ordinary professional terms (the head, the room, the world, the system) so the tools are usable without the theoretical apparatus.
