Scott Jellen
Independent Researcher · Protocol Designer
I study systems whose inherited rules no longer fit present conditions, then develop protocols, mechanisms, and institutional models for how those systems might operate differently. Through Jellen Protocol Lab, I publish research across protocol infrastructure, labor and economic systems, public mechanisms, media platforms, institutional redesign, and public-memory systems.
The Universal Sports Graph (USG) is the Lab's flagship protocol program, translating fragmented sports rights, access, and entitlement into interoperable infrastructure.
Featured Research
A public-policy whitepaper proposing a coordinated healthcare and tax-administration bargain that gives every taxpayer, spouse, and dependent a $5,000 annual ceiling on personal liability for nationally covered medical care. The framework preserves private insurance while using a separate $10,000 commercial claims attachment for federal risk sharing, removes patients from financial disputes after they reach the ceiling, converts Tax Day into an annual Household Account check-in, continuously updates withholding and benefits, and returns measurable employer health-plan savings to workers.
