Delivery index
This is the entry point for the Brainforge delivery system.
The delivery model is organized around:
- Standards — the floor
- Checkpoints — how the floor is enforced
- Roles — how Head of Delivery, CSO, SL, and ICs participate
- Lifecycle / systems of record — how work moves and how truth is maintained
- Tools and SOPs — how the team executes consistently
- Analogies — teaching layer, not policy
Start here by question
What is the standard?
What are the checkpoints?
How does work move from SOW to execution?
What does my role own?
How does Head of Delivery govern the system?
What tools and SOPs support the work?
05-tools-and-skills/README.md- Linear (Day 1):
05-tools-and-skills/linear-day-1-guide.md - Operating.app + Cursor agents — allocation truth, MCP/API, vault logging
What analogies explain the model?

Platform note
The HTML operating model page is a presentation layer, not the canonical source of truth:
- Static page:
delivery-operating-model.html - Maintainer guide:
README.md
Analogy note
Analogies are used throughout the delivery system as teaching tools. Policy remains literal. When in doubt, the markdown docs in knowledge/delivery/ are the source of truth.
