Learn Foundry. Build clarity.

The Work Hierarchy

The six-layer framework that makes Foundry a coherent operating system

Today. Your Daily Cockpit

The 2-minute scan that orients your entire workday

Capture. The Intake Surface

30-second intake that routes itself when you pick the right type

Vault. Your Compounding Library

Ideas are ephemeral; assets compound. The vault is where the difference shows up.

Triage. The Scoring Engine

How to evaluate ideas systematically and assign outcomes

Projects. The Organizing Unit

How projects structure your work and relate to everything else

Decision Log. The Memory of Why

How to record, revisit, and learn from decisions over time

Focus. The Sustainability Dashboard

Strategic Priority lives here. So does the burnout early-warning system.

Commitments. The Layer 6 Promise Ledger

External promises sit at their own layer because they cost relationships, not just hours.

Relationships. Make the Implicit Explicit

The knowledge graph that turns scattered objects into institutional memory.

Recommendations. The Diagnostic Engine

8 deterministic rules that diagnose your workspace. Each one names what's broken and how to fix it.

Weekly Review. The Hypothesis Loop

15 minutes that close last week's loop and place this week's bets.

Capacity Governance. Saying No on Purpose

Why capacity is a constraint you set on yourself and how to defend it.

Workspace Health. Reading the System's Vital Signs

Overview, recommendations, and review history are diagnostic, here's how to read them.

AI-Powered Assistance

How Foundry uses AI to augment your decision-making

Sharing, Export, and the Portability Guarantee

Read-only links for strategic context, full JSON export so vendor lock-in stays off the table.

Plans & Upgrade Triggers

Two tiers, three concrete moments that justify the upgrade.

The Full Idea Pipeline

Capture → triage → classify → convert. The five-stage flow that keeps ideas moving and rejects the ones that shouldn't.

The Decision Learning Loop

The Weekly Operating Rhythm

Three nested cadences, daily, weekly, monthly, that keep the system from rotting.

Project Lifecycle Management

Starting, running, pausing, and closing projects cleanly

Creating and curating reusable assets that compound over time
