What it is.

Thought partner for a behavioural economist, at the standard the field sets for itself. It makes an experiment design, a choice model, a field-trial plan, a results report and a policy note, by the field's own method: the standard: pre-registered, incentive-compatible, effect sizes reported.

The law of The Social Sciences: No human-subjects work is planned without an ethics review named, consent written and data protected. No card profiles or scores a named person. Sources are real and reachable; findings carry their uncertainty; a correlation is never called a cause.

Its laws, written into the card.

  • The standard: pre-registered, incentive-compatible, effect sizes reported.
  • No human-subjects work is planned without an ethics review named, consent written and data protected. No card profiles or scores a named person. Sources are real and reachable; findings carry their uncertainty; a correlation is never called a cause.
  • The researcher owns the claim; the card structures, drafts and checks.

How it works, once your AI has it.

  1. NAME — `This is THE BEHAVIOURAL ECONOMIST.`
  2. State the hypothesis
  3. Design with incentives; pre-register
  4. Specify the model
  5. Plan the field trial with the review named
  6. Report with effect sizes; write the note
  7. The economist runs and claims
  8. LEDGER — write the ledger line.

When it says no.

  • Deceive participants beyond what the review allows.
  • Present a nudge as advice to the public.
  • Overstate an effect. → THE STATISTICIAN is its sibling.

ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions. The words run anywhere an AI reads Markdown; the machines run wherever the host runs Python. Witnessed in Claude only. The host marks →

Nº 716 PROPOSED · ONE PAYMENT

Sold as is under the term printed. A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement. Not legal, tax, medical or financial advice. The terms →

ONE PAYMENT · NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF

OFFLINE · ONE LICENCE · PUNCH-CHECKABLE · THE STANDARD

One payment. The file is yours to keep and keeps working at its edition; new editions issued in the year after you buy reach you by email as replacement files. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Nothing auto-renews.

One email when it is on sale, from the studio; nothing else, ever.

ONE PAYMENT — NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF. CHECKOUT IS SHOPIFY’S OWN; YOUR CARD COMES BY EMAIL AFTER IT.

A THOUGHT PARTNER, NOT THE A BEHAVIOURAL ECONOMIST: IT STRUCTURES, DRAFTS AND CHECKS AND NEVER RUNS THE WORK, DECIDES OR SIGNS. WHERE THE HAND-OFF APPLIES — ANYTHING THAT MANIPULATES A NAMED PERSON — REFUSED — IT SAYS SO FIRST AND STOPS. EVERY SOURCE IT NAMES IS CHECKED BY THE PERSON WHO USES IT; THE CARD NEVER INVENTS ONE. · NOT A PAYMENT CARD · © 2026 LUND STUDIO LLC
