The Curriculum-as-Code & Compliance-as-Code Observatory is an open research repository curated by Alan Lee Pruitt, B.S. ("Coach Alan" — ORCID: 0009-0002-5038-7111), Founder & Chief Curriculum Architect of Webcognita LLC (SDVOSB / VOSB), Exercise Science & Wellness (EXW) Clinical AI Adjunct Faculty at Arizona Western College (a Hispanic-Serving Institution in Yuma, Arizona), and Designated Campus Colleague (DCC) at The University of Arizona School of Nutritional Sciences and Wellness.
This observatory documents the origin, evolution, and production engineering of Curriculum-as-Code (CaC) and Compliance-as-Code governed by the S-A-R Standard v2.2 (Scalable / Auditable / Repeatable) — treating academic curricula, clinical simulations, and civil-rights accessibility rules as deterministic, version-controlled software rather than static documents or manual LMS retrofits.
Core Research & Engineering Pillars:
• S-A-R v2.2 Neuro-Symbolic Curriculum Architecture: Git-governed Markdown Single Sources of Truth (SSoT), DOM GraphRAG (3,265 pedagogical knowledge-graph nodes), W3C PROV-O SHA-256 provenance receipts, W3C SKOS bilingual (English / Norteño-Spanish) clinical ontologies, and GraphQL-first LMS synchronization.
• Upstream Compliance-as-Code: Automated pre-commit CI/CD gates enforcing Federal ADA Title II (28 CFR Part 35), WCAG 2.2 AA (9:1 Double-Contrast Guard), WCAG 3.0 APCA perceptual contrast (benchmarked at 100,000+ lux), cognitive plain-language scaffolding, and zero-trust FERPA privacy.
• The Centaur Protocol & The Clinical Framing Protocol (Pattern / Rule / Solve): Human-in-the-loop problem-framing assessments grounded in primary federal Sources of Truth (HHS PAGA 2018 2nd Ed., 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, ACSM 12th Ed., NASM OPT, and U.S. DOL ETA Advisory TEN No. 07-25 AI Literacy).
• Dual-Namespace $0 ZTC Open Educational Resources (OER) & Sovereign Edge AI: Born-accessible K-16 dual-enrollment course fleets (KIN / HLTH) and air-gapped Apple Silicon local inference via Ollama.
