01 / QUICK START

Initialize a workspace

Create a workspace for one accountable operating team. Connect signals only after owners and exception paths are defined.

workspace: operations
owner: ops-lead@company.com
evidence_retention: 90d
mode: approval-first

02 / OPERATING MODEL

Define intent before automation

Every workflow begins with the job to be done, acceptable evidence and the conditions that require human judgment.

03 / POLICY GATES
