Why this exists
What if the family needs help seeing the pattern, too?
My family spent decades trying to save someone we loved. We followed promises, responded to emergencies, and rarely stopped long enough to examine what happened after the last rescue.
Salvage Math is about looking at the whole story, including the people who have carried the consequences.

I learned this the hard way.
For decades, addiction shaped my family's decisions. My work in analytics taught me to distinguish compelling stories from evidence. Salvage Math brings those two worlds together, with the family at the center.
