Field Guide v0.1 is Live

Protective Computing now has a second citable artifact.

• Foundation artifact: The Overton Framework v1.3 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18688516)
• Practice artifact: Field Guide v0.1 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18782339)

Why this release matters

The Overton Framework defines the doctrine and constraints.
The Field Guide operationalizes those constraints for systems engineers implementing real systems under hostile and degraded conditions.

Relationship to v1.3

• v1.3 (Overton Framework): normative posture and principle-level architecture.
• v0.1 (Field Guide): implementation-facing execution companion.

Together they provide a clearer bridge from principle to engineering practice.

Call for case studies

We are now collecting implementation case studies from teams building in vulnerability contexts (health, crisis response, journalism, civil society, public-interest tooling).

What to share:

• threat context and operating constraints,
• architecture decisions tied to principles,
• verification evidence (pass/fail outcomes),
• failures and lessons learned.
