Principles

The product boundary, stated up front.

Authored, not simulated

Walkthroughs are deliberate teaching sequences. Nothing here claims to predict an arbitrary topology or production system.

Provenance beside the claim

Company architectures come only from primary public sources. Inferred or illustrative material is labeled. Unknowns stay visible.

Same bar as Protocol Atlas

Deterministic frames, typed content, citation lint, and an honest coverage page. Unauthored means absent.
