Bundles

The library ships 38 bundles. Each one is a document type with a template, a guide, a worked example, and a logged research trail. Every number on this page is read from manifest.json at build time.

All of them are beta, which in this library means researched and gate-checked: the structure and the sourcing have been checked, and whether the document helps anyone has not been measured.
