The Rosalind Franklin
Framework
Rigorous Experimentation & Intellectual Ownership
Rosalind Franklin advanced human understanding by treating curiosity as a daily discipline. Rosalind Franklin's method of inquiry, captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask.
The rigorous experimentation & intellectual ownership framework distils Rosalind Franklin's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds.
Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Rosalind Franklin made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Rosalind Franklin's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Rosalind Franklin's thinking.
Excellence in method trumps speed to publication. Your intellectual property exists in the precision of your technique and the rigor of your interpretation—not just in being first to market. The quality of evidence determines the quality of conclusions, and compromising either for collaboration or recognition undermines both.

What it does with a real question.
A founder is deciding whether to take a large but difficult client.
Take the client only if you can name what they will own. A large, difficult client is rarely a revenue question. It is an ownership question: when their demands pour into your product and your process, whose work does it become? Difficult clients tend to treat your methods as raw material for their own narrative, and a founder who needs the revenue will hand over precisely what makes the business hard to copy.
So I would not decide on the invoice size. I would decide on whether the contract and the working relationship leave your intellectual territory intact. If the engagement requires opening your methodology to their team, shaping your roadmap around their requests, or producing work they can later claim as co-developed, the real price is far higher than the quoted fee. Large clients can also consume the very attention you need for the precision work that earned you their interest.
My position: proceed, but only on terms that keep your contribution distinguishable. Specify what is theirs, what is yours, and what is jointly built, in writing, before work begins. Anything they cannot accept in that conversation tells you how the next year will go.
The concrete next move: before your next call, write a one-page record of your method as it stands today, dated, with exactly what you will and will not disclose. Then make the ownership terms the first agenda item. If they balk at clarity, you have your answer, and it cost you nothing.
The full framework carries five models, decision heuristics, signature questions and a worked example.
