This folder runs the machine: the routines, checklists, and trackers that keep the rest of the vault alive and honest.
- How This Vault Works — folder structure, naming conventions, the three-axis tagging system, and the linking philosophy.
- Daily Capture Routine — the ≤5-min habit: open daily note, type one line, back to work in under 15 seconds.
- Weekly Review Routine — Friday’s 20–30 min sweep: promote captures to real notes, batch questions, hit inbox zero.
- Monthly Technical Growth Review — honest skill stock-take, one gap picked per month, quarterly standards re-check.
- Lessons Learned System — three-level lesson capture: daily one-liner, per-project section, monthly pattern promotion.
- QAQC System — three-layer QA/QC: self-check every deliverable, domain checklists, senior review made easy.
- Questions for Senior Engineers — batched questions that pass the 3-source test before they’re asked.
- Skill Tracker — Know / Learning / Need columns, moved monthly; “did it unassisted on a project” = Know.
- Standards Update Tracker — the quarterly re-check table for FDM, Standard Plans, TEM, Greenbook, and the rest.
- Verification Queue — every
#status/verifyclaim in the vault, tiered by how badly an error would bite; work it top down. - Plans - 30 to 90 to 3 Years — outcome-based horizons, reviewed at the monthly review.
- Career Roadmap - EIT to Mastery — the five-stage trajectory from reliable producer to PE who owns work.
