RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

MAMI Theory is a developing research perspective on how systems make information visible, retain it, and use it in decisions. The independent research practice applies that documentary focus to defined questions in procurement, policy, and AI-supported decision-making. Paid engagements do not, by themselves, validate the theory.

MAMI Theory is independently operated by Mami. It is not a university, public authority, certification body, or staffed institute.
