Documentation & Knowledge Systems
Undocumented decisions disappear—and get repeated. This module establishes systems to capture design rationale, assumptions, insights, and learnings in a structured, searchable way.
The goal is not documentation for its own sake, but a living system of organizational memory that supports continuity, especially through change.
Knowledge becomes usable instead of forgotten.
