This contents page mirrors the document order used in both the PDF and the MkDocs site.

It is intentionally sequence-based rather than page-number-based, because PDF page numbers shift whenever content is added, removed, or reformatted.

Suggested Ways To Read

1. Investor read: Executive Summary, The Ask & Team, Financials, Roadmap & Milestones
2. Strategic read: Business Plan, Master Architecture, all six Strategic Pillars, then Market Appendix
3. Technical read: Pillar II — Product, Pillar III — Operations, Infrastructure, Shimmy Shield, then References

Structural Notes

• The Business Plan is now the first substantive section after this contents page.
• Master Architecture is now a concise orientation document instead of a duplicate front-matter summary of later sections.
• Working documents such as the template and TODO backlog have been removed from the primary navigation and print flow.
