Limits as Leverage

Limits as Leverage is a content and methods project focused on working effectively inside constraints you don't control, such as approval chains, locked-down systems, and unwritten institutional knowledge. It offers videos and a structured method for operations, documentation, and decision-making, with a current focus on AI adoption inside restrictive environments. Rather than treating limitations as obstacles, the approach treats them as design inputs that make workflows more durable. It offers a free tool, the Dependency Map, a short interview that helps people capture connective knowledge they hold but have never documented, without requiring confidential materials. Content is organized by the type of constraint faced, such as blocked tools, data that can't leave, or approval bottlenecks.
