The Fourth Floor
Where sh*t gets done
The Fourth Floor is a collective working at the intersection of Al, equity, leadership, ethics, and well-being. We're not here to theorize. We build
frameworks, push on the questions organizations aren't asking yet, and do the work out loud - so others can use it, challenge it, and build on it.
THE PITCH
The AI conversation has one axis. Optimism on one end, doom on the other. An abundance of new jobs or jobs eliminated. Progress or collapse.
We're asking a different question:
How are organizations thinking about people in the first place?
WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Anchor project
People Value™ & the PVQ™
The old playbook treats people as a cost to reduce. People Value™ recognizes that people are a source of capability. The People Value Quotient (PVQ)™ measures the gap between what leaders say about people and what they actually do. More coming soon.

Writing & Ideas
We write. We speak. We push back. Our latest thinking lives here - essays, field notes, and arguments worth having in public.
