- From Pilot to ProductionFour gates, three kill points. Select a kill point and the annotation index below tracks it.
- The Governance StackFive layers, and the three places the load actually fails. Select a failure point to track it in the index.
- From Centre to EdgeThe operating-model handover in four moves, and the three places it stalls. Select a stall point to track it.
