Argument and firsthand recollections checked against local MDX; the live public URL was not used as independent evidence.
What this check doesn’t establish
- Career claims are self-reported, not independently confirmed by employers.
- ORCID could not be read through the research tool; the existing identifier is retained as unverified.
- Term associations do not establish exclusive coinage; knowing-doing gap has been removed from coined.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
Author of the essays at lwilko.com. In his February 2026 introduction he describes a career in cybersecurity, then Microsoft, then the UK government’s Incubator for Artificial Intelligence, contributing to Lex, Parlex, Consult and Redbox.
His June 2026 CivBench essay says he had moved to the Tony Blair Institute. These are dated self-reports, rather than independent confirmation of his current employment.
The concept associations record terms developed in the essays; they do not establish exclusive historical priority.
Co-author of the Incubator practitioner playbook. His fellowship reflection describes leading incubation and helping colleagues learn through building and testing.
My current work includes Codify, alongside collaborative research on CivBench. The Work page brings together these projects and the people I built them with.
