This buildWhat this portfolio demonstrates
The work is study material and independent research, so here is the translation: what building 69 pieces of it actually required.
Four things01 / 04
Evidence discipline
Every figure carries the provenance tag it was published under. Derived numbers are labelled as derived. Two sources that disagree are reported separately instead of averaged. One essay reaches a negative result and reports it as one, and the largest piece corrects its own arithmetic in public where a later attribution changed the base.

Financial reporting
Intermediate financial accounting under IFRS, worked to the entry rather than the summary: revenue recognition through the five-step model, a journal entry reference built for retrieval under time pressure, and a coverage audit that records what is still missing.

Canadian tax and law, kept Canadian
Co-op work preparing Canadian corporate and personal returns, and a primer that holds the Canadian and American legal positions apart at every point they diverge instead of blending them. The valuation takes the same discipline to a public issuer: capital cost allowance computed from the Income Tax Regulations in force rather than proxied by book depreciation, on statements obtained from SEDAR+ and checked figure by figure against the pages cited, with the non-Canadian segment carved out because the deduction is Canadian.

What evidences it
The tax base nobody discloses, US and Canada Legal Architecture, Business Law for Accountants, Law Arena, The Five Shall Paragraphs, Flagged in Hindsight, Crucible Run 0: the Bank of Canada backtest, Crucible Run B: the maturity-wall thesis
The co-op returns themselves stay with the clients, so that engagement is still unevidenced here. Standing in its place is the Dollarama valuation, the only artefact in this set that carries a corporate valuation, a statutory capital cost allowance shield and a SEDAR+ filing read at first hand.

Building the thing
Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript across 69 pages and 8 interactive tools, 3 of them installable. 206 figures, all built by hand as static SVG so they render with JavaScript off. No framework, no build step on the reader's side, accessible in light and dark, and it prints.
8 pieces22,543 words12 figures43 tables7 tools
The paragraphs are the claim. Under each one is the work that evidences it, named
and counted: the pieces are declared in content/capabilities.json and the words, figures
and tables are recomputed from the measurements on every build. A piece can evidence more than one,
so the four sets overlap and their subtotals do not add to the 511,988 on the corpus line.
There are no levels here and no self-ratings, because neither could be checked.
Why the site exists
RationaleMost of what I build starts as a problem I have: a course that will not stay in my head, a claim I do not believe, a process I keep repeating by hand. The output is usually an interactive document, because a diagram you can interrogate beats a paragraph you can skim. Rather than let those sit in a downloads folder, they live here, running, where anyone can use them.
Two things are worth separating. One course, AFM 291, has been rebuilt here end to end: 26 pieces, 195,327 words, every chapter running the same structure so a topic can be found the same way twice. Alongside it sits 268,124 words of research nobody assigned. The corpus figure on the home page draws that split rather than claiming it.
How the work is organised
- Research and writing holds the pieces where the argument is the point, plus the method work on how the rest gets built and audited.
- Coursework groups every reference and trainer by the course it was built for, with a coverage table showing what exists and what does not.
- Interactive tools are the things you use rather than read. 3 install to a phone home screen.
A note on the material
These are my own artefacts, written by me for my own use. They are not course materials, not official solutions, and not a substitute for the standards themselves. Where a figure or a rule matters, check the primary source: the CPA Canada Handbook, the Income Tax Act, or the CRA.
