- Getting Started - Quick‑start checklist and onboarding guide.
- Assessment & Planning - Maturity Assessment and Gap Analysis workbooks.
- Models & Frameworks - Decision Framework and Risk Exposure Matrix.
- Processes & Handoffs - Process Runbook and Stakeholder Matrix.
- Operations & Execution - Implementation Roadmap and Automation Scripts.

Each folder contains instruction tabs, ready‑to‑fill templates, and practitioner notes, so you can move from learning to execution without interruption.
