About this site

This site documents a practical exploration of digital dependency and resilience.

The focus is not on tools themselves, but on the structural forces that shape them: jurisdictional exposure, ownership, exit costs, and service continuity.

Rather than offering product reviews or optimisation advice, the analysis draws on concrete migrations, failure cases, and real-world trade-offs, informed by systems thinking, resilience engineering, and platform governance.

The underlying question is simple:

Who ultimately controls the systems we rely on — and what happens when those assumptions change?
