# Jason Lovell: At the frontier. In the code.

Frontier AI research, solution design and engineering. I research what AI can do next, then build the systems and experiments to find out what holds up.
Day role: Frontier AI strategy and enterprise innovation, PwC Intelligent Enterprise. Independent work, separate from my role at PwC.

## Studies

Ten studies, each with its result and where its evidence stops.

- [MCP Continuation Replay](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/mcp-continuation-replay): The action succeeded. The reply vanished. What happens next? Demonstrated: recovers, no duplicate. 24 Sep 2026.
- [Scaffold Arena](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/scaffold-arena): How much of an agent’s performance comes from everything around the model? Status: instrument built. 14 Sep 2026.
- [RealityBridge](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/realitybridge): A simulator says it worked. Would the real service agree? Finding: 3 of 16 diverged. 24 Sep 2026.
- [ShadowSkillBench](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/shadowskillbench): When an agent learns a procedure, what else does it carry forward? Status: methods preview. 22 Sep 2026.
- [Living Context](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/living-context): What should an agent revisit when the world changes? Demonstrated: refresh plans; learned extension inconclusive. 24 Sep 2026.
- [Jev Decision Lab](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/jev-decision-lab): What changes when a model returns a typed judgment? Status: workbench. 17 Sep 2026.
- [GhostTrace](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/ghosttrace): Does a behavioural signal survive repeated self-distillation? Finding: toy tier only. 21 Sep 2026.
- [No Model Floor](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/no-model-floor): Does this benchmark even need a model? Finding: headroom 0. 21 Sep 2026.
- [CascadeShift](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/cascadeshift): Are we measuring the model, or the configuration? Finding: interval includes 0. 21 Sep 2026.
- [Nano interpretability](https://jasonlovell.ai/work/nano-interpretability): When is expensive interpretability worth its cost? Finding: wins only when distributed. 9 Jun 2026.

## Use-case design

- [Agent-Ready Checkout Gateway](https://jasonlovell.ai/projects/agent-ready-checkout-gateway): Alpha reference gateway that lets shops accept consented orders from AI agents. Jun 2026.
