Your companion library
A fifteen-by-eight coverage matrix, books down the side and Client Needs subcategories across the top, filled squares for principal load and hollow squares for passing coverage.
How ownership works
One fact has one home. This book teaches the reasoning frames and a single one-page map of each domain. The companion books teach the domain itself. Whenever this book needs something it does not own, it prints an arrow chip instead of the content. Follow the chip. Nothing is being withheld from you; it is being kept in one place so it stays correct.

The scope contract
Page 2 of every companion book is a three-column panel: what it owns, what it borrows, and what it does not cover. Check the boundary before you read, or before you buy.
Margin noteif this book feels shallow on a topic, that is on purpose.
TakeawayThis book is the index to the family, and depth always lives one arrow chip away. → BOOK 01 · P7 · → BOOK 15 · P2
