Your most specialized process becomes your best-documented one

Industry patterns live in the book as chapters and render into the specialized backend the same way every artifact does. The shared ninety percent — lot tracking, work orders, serial control — is rendered. The unique ten percent that makes a business itself stays a human decision, authored in plain prose and rendered through the same gates.

Here it is the best-receipted asset: the reason preserved in prose beside the mechanism, so a successor finds not an unexplained field but a chapter that says what it does and why.
