Nearly Right

Nearly Right

Jamie Lord

I'm Jamie Lord, and Nearly Right is where I think through the world's complexities in public. By day, I architect digital systems that serve millions of citizens across Britain's public sector. By evening, I disappear down research rabbit holes that begin with a curious headline and end spanning economics, technology, social policy, and human behaviour. Nearly Right emerged from my inability to let interesting questions go unanswered. The name reflects my approach: I'm usually nearly right about most things, occasionally completely wrong, and constantly refining my thinking as evidence accumulates. I'd rather engage honestly with uncertainty than pretend to certainties I don't possess.
