Frequently Asked Questions
The Open Principle vs. The Proprietary Architecture
Can I use the 70/30 principle in my own business or consulting?
Yes. The underlying 70/30 principle (70% Human Wisdom, 30% AI Support, 100% Human Authority) and the emerging field of Algorithmic Stewardship are open for public discussion, reflection, and responsible independent use. You are encouraged to discuss these concepts and reflect on how they apply to your organisation.
Does Vicki Wu own the category of Algorithmic Stewardship?
No. Algorithmic Stewardship is presented as an open field of shared human responsibility. It is not the exclusive property of one person, company, or institution. Vicki Wu contributes to this emerging field by providing the deep governance architecture required to apply it in consequential environments.
Can I teach your framework or use 70/30 DNA™ in my own client materials?
While the underlying principle is open, 70/30 DNA™ is Vicki Wu’s named and documented formulation. The open principle does not grant permission to copy, adapt, white-label, distribute, or sell original 70/30 DNA™ programme materials.
Open use of a principle does not remove authorship from its original programme expression.
Can I certify my team or company in Systemic Fiduciary Architecture™ (SFA™)?
Public discussion or independent application of the open principle does not imply formal alignment with Systemic Fiduciary Architecture™ (SFA™). Any formal claim of SFA™ alignment, verification, authorisation, or certification requires express human approval and must follow the documented methodology.
If your organisation requires formal SFA™ integration, you must request an authorised consultation.
Engaging with the Work
What does an SFA™ Consultation actually look like?
An SFA™ consultation is a boardroom-level diagnostic process designed to identify and close governance gaps in AI-supported environments. It does not focus on AI capability; it focuses on human jurisdiction.
Through a structured assessment, we map your organisation’s current state of human authority using distinct authored components like IRD™, O-Axis™, Conscious Radar™, Neural Shield™, and Fiduciary Receipt™. The outcome is a clear architectural map showing where judgment sits, who holds override authority, and who owns the consequence.
Who is the Prime Navigator™ briefing for?
The briefing is designed for leadership teams, founders, board members, and decision-makers who carry ultimate responsibility for outcomes. It is for leaders who recognise that AI is not just another software rollout, but a system that participates in cognitive work—requiring a new standard of oversight to protect human judgment capacity.
