Preparation before reaction
Feltabout
Feltabout applies this methodology to conversation preparation — creating space between feeling and response before someone acts.
Build. Explore. Collaborate.
Killough Works
We help people and organizations make sense of complexity.
We build thoughtful systems that turn fragmented information into structured understanding—so people can make wiser decisions.
Today's problems are rarely caused by lack of information. They are caused by fragmentation—messy conversation, competing narratives, and decisions made before anyone has structured what is actually in front of them.
How
Killough Works follows a seven-stage practice for turning messy input into human decision—without claiming authority over truth.
Methodology in practice
The work
These projects do not define the methodology. They demonstrate it—each one answering what principle it puts into practice.
Extract and Structure in messy conversation
Signal Map
This project demonstrates the Extract and Structure stages in a transcript workflow — messy conversation to grounded summary, risks, and next steps.
Hold disputes open before deciding
Signal CLI
Signal CLI applies evidence archiving, dispute matrices, and situation boards — disputes remain open while attention is prioritized.
Conversation must become owned action
Council Hub and Arbor Vitae
This organizational work demonstrates recap discipline — Tuesday conversation converted to written decisions and owned action.
Forensic claims tested against evidence
Research practice
Forensic research applies the methodology to claims and evidence — testing assertions against text, history, and documented behavior.
Ministry technology built with clarity discipline
Truth For These Times
TFTT is a satellite ministry platform — a separate brand. Killough Works documents how forensic study tools were built, not what visitors should believe.
Current focus
What we are building now
FeltaboutWork in progress
Conversation preparation before reaction—a father-son build, not a product launch.
Signal toolingActive
CLI and Map implementations of the methodology for personal and community input.

Forensic practice—claims tested against text, history, and documented behavior.
Knowledge architectureOngoing
Local archives, dispute matrices, and continuity systems that keep complexity legible.
About
Steward of the work
Killough Works is the public home for a body of work—clarity systems for difficult human situations, measured by truth rather than impressiveness.
Jonathan Killough builds software, interfaces, and documentation that help people prepare before they act. The work spans conversation tools, community operations, research, and ministry technology—one practice expressed across many surfaces.
