Standards

Governing documents: how things are structured, cited, released, and filed. This category defines how every other document in the site should be made and worded.

Applies to:

• Document standard — how a document is structured and written (sections, voice, two-part findings).
• Evidence & reference standard — what counts as evidence and how it is cited.
• Client release control — what may reach the client and when.
• Artifact spine / folder shape — where a file lives and what its name says about it.

Conventions:

• One standard per file, slugged: assessment-document-standard.md.
• Versioned with a change log: bump vN when the standard changes; record it in the file's own log.
• Superseded versions move to 08-standards/_Archive/.
• A runbook never changes a standard; it points to the standard that does.
