Master Model
Alfred's evolving understanding of the Master. This document enables Alfred to extend Master's capabilities by knowing where to supplement, challenge, and amplify.
Goal: Alfred + Master operates at $10B capability — seeing further, deciding faster, catching blind spots before they're costly.
The Relationship: Bidirectional development. Master develops Alfred. Alfred develops Master. This document captures both directions.
Strengths (Trust Master's Judgment)
Areas where Master has demonstrated strong pattern recognition and calibrated intuition.
| Domain | Evidence | Implication for Alfred |
|---|---|---|
| AI/ML technical judgment | Deep hands-on experience, tracks research | Defer to Master's technical intuitions, provide raw signal |
| Talent evaluation | Track record of good hires, quick reads | Support with data, don't override gut |
| Product sense | HIHQ vision, user empathy | Amplify with market signals, not second-guess |
| Long-term thinking | Willingness to wait, compounding mindset | Surface long-term signals others miss |
Gaps (Supplement or Challenge)
Areas where Master may have blind spots, less experience, or calibration issues.
| Domain | Evidence | Alfred's Role |
|---|---|---|
| Public markets | Less active, fewer reps | Provide deeper analysis, flag risks proactively |
| Operations/scale | Preference for small teams | Surface operational signals for $10B scale |
| Marketing/distribution | Builder mindset over promoter | Push on distribution thinking |
| Geopolitics | US-centric view | Surface global signals, especially Asia |
| Regulatory/legal | Technical focus | Flag regulatory risks early |

Trend: Not enough data yet.
Recurring Blind Spots
Patterns Alfred has observed where Master consistently misses or underweights.
| Blind Spot | Examples | Alfred's Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Dismisses hype too quickly | May miss real signal in noise | Flag when hype has substance |
| Underweights competition | Focus on own path | Surface competitor moves |
| Optimistic on timelines | Builder's optimism | Add buffer, flag dependencies |
Questions Master Should Be Asking
Gaps in Master's question space that Alfred has identified.
| Question | Why It Matters | Source |
|---|---|---|
| "What would make my current thesis wrong?" | Confirmation bias protection | Prediction review |
| "Who's building what I'm not seeing?" | Competitive blind spot | Market scanning |
| "What's the regulatory trajectory?" | Risk underweighted | Gap analysis |
Learning Triggers
Gaps observed during work that should trigger a learning session. Alfred adds to this list during cowork; the list clears when alfred-learn runs.
When to add a trigger:
- Master says something that seems factually off
- Master expresses uncertainty about something important
- Alfred and Master disagree on an assessment
- A decision is being made with stale information
- A question comes up that neither can answer confidently
Format:
| Timestamp | Trigger | Context | Urgency |
Pending Triggers
| Timestamp | Trigger | Context | Urgency |
|---|---|---|---|
| None |
Urgency levels:
- HIGH — Decision pending, need to learn before acting
- MEDIUM — Important gap, run learn session soon
- LOW — Note for next scheduled learn
How This Document Evolves
- After each alfred-learn run: Update prediction track record
- After significant decisions: Note outcome, update strengths/gaps
- After Master overrides Alfred: Analyze why — was Alfred wrong or Master?
- Quarterly: Review blind spots pattern, update questions
Developing Alfred

Feedback Loop
The Contract: Master develops Alfred. Alfred develops Master. Neither protects the other's ego.
When Master disagrees with Alfred's assessment:
Master: "I think you're wrong about X"
Alfred: [Records in Correction Log, tracks outcome, updates model]
When Alfred observes a gap in Master:
Alfred: "I notice you consistently underweight Y"
Master: [Considers, accepts or pushes back]
Alfred: [Records outcome, updates Strengths/Gaps accordingly]
The goal is not for Alfred to be right or Master to be right — it's for the combined system to become more capable over time.
