Two editions

One method. Two editions. What actually differs.

The editions differ by the standards they read against and the handling regime they run in. The engine, the record, the custody rules, and the gates are one. Choose by the regime your mission answers to, not by size.

Where the record livesOne self-contained file on the engagement's own machine. Nothing fetched, no telemetry, no account.Local-first, the same single record, saved as a file the consultant exports.

Each edition is a standards profile over the same engine. The visible difference is the word, the mark, and the palette; nothing in the method changes.

What does not differ

The rails are the same in both rooms.

Six weeks, fifteen deliverables

The same calendar, the same record, the same handoff files.

Evidence informs; named people decide

Target posture, pace, funding, architecture, risk acceptance, and every authorization decision stay with the people who hold that authority.

No score is a gate

Nothing is met vacuously. What the record does not hold is shown as not yet, never as zero.

Proposes rather than writes

Every inference waits in a queue with its reason and its source until a named person accepts it.

Refuses rather than invents

Exports and prints say what they lack. No figure is compiled into the build.

If you cannot run it after we leave, it does not ship

Sustainability is the acceptance test on every deliverable.
