Terms of use.

Methods is an educational and professional resource. It offers guidance, not a prescribed process, and it can't know your context. Use your own professional judgment and check what you rely on.

You can use the website and its learning materials for free. You're welcome to apply the methods, templates and prompts in your own personal and professional work, including client and employer work.

Please don't republish or redistribute Methods content, or present it as your own, without permission.

The Methods name and branding, its original writing and templates, and the way the framework is organized belong to Michael Whitaker.

The established methods themselves, and any third-party materials mentioned or linked here, remain the work of their respective owners. Tools named on the site are examples, not endorsements.

Methods is provided as is, without warranties, and may be incomplete or out of date. To the extent the law allows, Michael Whitaker isn't liable for decisions made using it.

Links to other sites are for convenience. Those sites are outside Methods' control and have their own terms.

These terms may change as Methods grows. The latest version is always on this page. For questions, contact Michael Whitaker through whitaker.design. Last updated November 4, 2026.
