What it does
26 templates covering AI governance, coding standards for AI-augmented teams, prompt patterns, technical due diligence, engineering metrics, incident response, and the operational foundations CTOs deploy in the first 90 days. A 20+ year technology leader built this kit across SaaS, IoT, AI, and enterprise software. The AI Quality Trinity governance framework sits at the center.

Strategy, team, operations, security, finance, product alignment, coding standards, AI coding tool governance, and the board-level communication that separates technology leaders from technology managers. Every framework already survived contact with reality at companies from 15-person startups to 350-person global engineering orgs.
