About the author
Christopher Capitan
I am an engineer and systems designer. My work has followed the boundary between physical products, software, controls, and organizations for more than four decades.
Experience
Where the question began
My engineering work began with CAD/CAM/CAE, machine vision, and robotics. It later included knowledge-based engineering, product design, manufacturing, electrified propulsion, and battery development.
Across those settings, I saw decisions written in one place continue through requirements, software, controls, and operating practice. The original meeting could end while the decision kept acting.
The book
Keeping responsibility within reach
That experience shaped the question behind The Full Ledger: how do we keep consequences visible and responsibility within reach as our ability to act grows?
I wrote the book for readers who want to understand this change and take part in it. The questions matter wherever decisions shape systems and outcomes.
