Open framework specifications

Every framework referenced across this site is deposited on Zenodo with a persistent DOI and published under CC BY 4.0. This page is the citable index: each entry carries the title exactly as deposited, the deposit date, and the citation string to copy.

Citation standard

How to cite this work

Each entry below gives the citation in one fixed form: author, year, the deposited title, the repository, and the DOI link. Copy the string as printed rather than retyping the title, because the title carries the trademark marks and the full subtitle that identify the specific deposit.

The titles on this page are reproduced verbatim from the Zenodo record for each DOI. Where a framework is known on this site by a shorter working name, that short name is shown as the heading and the deposited title appears underneath it, so the two are never confused with one another.

Every deposit is registered against a single ORCID identifier, 0009-0007-7906-5091, so the works resolve to one researcher rather than to several similar names. Citation managers that import from the DOI will pick this up automatically.

Applying any of these frameworks in commercial work, client engagements or internal architecture is free and requires no permission. Attribution under CC BY 4.0 means naming the framework and its author and linking either to its specification page or to its DOI.

The record

The deposits, in order of publication

Ordered by deposit date rather than by importance, which also happens to be a sensible reading order: each framework builds on the vocabulary of the ones before it. Some have a full specification site on this domain; the rest are published as the deposit alone, and the DOI is the primary reference for those.

  1. Decision Ladder Navigation™ (DLN™)

    Decision Ladder Navigation™ (DLN): An Authoritative Framework for Information Architecture, Intent-Flow Engineering, and AI Search Optimization (AEO)

    Orders a site's URLs along the five rungs a buyer actually moves through, Orient, Choose, Prove, Rate and Act, so every page hands the reader exactly one next step.

  2. RCCOF Framework™

    RCCOF Framework: A Structured Prompt Engineering Specification for Enterprise Content Generation and AI-Ready SEO

    Conditions a language model through five ordered layers, Role, Context, Constraint, Output Format and Few-shot, so the same prompt returns the same shape of answer twice.

  3. SEO Master Systemic Framework™

    SEO Master: A Systemic Framework for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and AI Answer Optimization (AEO)

    Treats classical search, generative engines and answer engines as one retrieval problem rather than three disciplines, and states what a page must satisfy to be eligible in all three.

  4. 4-Zone Information Architecture™ (4-ZIA™)

    4-Zone Information Architecture (4-ZIA): Standardizing Web Navigation for E-E-A-T Authority, Crawl Governance, and Decision-Driven Journeys

    Divides every page template into four non-overlapping functional zones so that a crawler can tell navigation, evidence, conversion and governance apart without guessing.

  5. E-PROVE Architecture™

    E-PROVE Architecture: Standardizing Emotional Levers and Proof Stacks for High-Conversion Web Copywriting and E-E-A-T Authority

    Pairs each emotional buying lever with a falsifiable proof stack and requires the proof to sit beside the claim it supports rather than on a testimonials page.

  6. PIOC Chain Alignment Architecture™

    PIOC Chain Alignment Architecture: Connecting Persona, O-C-P-R-A Intent Stages, Offer Packaging, and CTA Choreography

    Connects a buyer persona to a decision stage, a packaged offer and a matched call to action, so the prompt to act arrives when the reader is ready rather than when the page ends.

  7. Website Growth System™ (WGS™)

  8. Search Quality Assurance™ (SQA-200™)

    Search Quality Assurance (SQA-200): A 200-Point Quality Control and Site Governance Framework for Sustainable Organic Growth, Entity Verification, and AI Search Extraction

    Scores a website out of 200 weighted points across six pillars and 99 checkpoints, each carrying one written pass condition, so two auditors reach the same number.
