These playbooks define the standard going forward for Calibrax Forward Deployment projects. They are designed for small teams where one strategist and one or two FDEs may be running a client delivery project without heavy project-management overhead.

Core Playbooks

Section titled “Core Playbooks”
Forward Deployment Operating Model

Roles, ownership, Project Technical DRI expectations, and the minimum project operating system.

 Task and Scope Management

How Notion, GitHub, Slack, client feedback, and ready work fit together.

 Release Readiness

The minimum bar before production or client-visible changes are released.

 Deployment Execution

Go/no-go, ownership, timing, deployment records, and communication standards.

 Rollback and Recovery

How to restore service when a release causes production or client workflow issues.

 Production Incident

Severity, roles, timeline logging, and client communication during incidents.

 Postmortem

Lightweight learning loops with owners, deadlines, and follow-up tasks.

 Observability

Minimum signals for health, errors, infra, integrations, and AI-specific behavior.

Tool Boundaries

Section titled “Tool Boundaries”
  • Notion owns scope, priorities, acceptance, release logs, feedback, and internal project visibility.
  • GitHub owns implementation artifacts, PRs, CI, deployment history, and rollback workflow history.
  • Slack is for communication and notification, not priority or task ownership.

First Principle

Section titled “First Principle”

Humans should write only what requires judgment. Everything else should be templated, linked, or automated.
