A methodology for designing business operations, including processes, team structures, measurements, compliance, audits, and supplier management. It covers areas such as workflow mapping and standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map and improve processes, design teams, define key performance indicators, prepare compliance roadmaps, or manage vendors and service agreements.
Why use it?
It provides structured ways to find process bottlenecks, prepare for compliance work, and design operations as an organization grows. It turns broad operational problems into plans and measurable controls.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

operational-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Operational Design

COO methodology for designing and scaling operations, managing compliance, selecting and managing vendors, and measuring operational health. These frameworks help a COO build the systems and processes that enable the organization to execute reliably at scale.

Domain Model

Domain Covers Artifact
Process Design Value stream mapping, BPMN, bottleneck analysis, workflow optimization Process maps, VSM current/future state
Scaling Frameworks 10-to-100-to-1000 transitions, organizational design, delegation patterns Scaling plan, org design
Operational Metrics KPI design, balanced scorecard, leading vs lagging indicators Operations dashboard
Compliance & Audit SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR readiness, audit preparation Compliance roadmap, control matrix
Vendor Management RFP process, SLA design, vendor scorecards, relationship tiers Vendor management framework
Organizational Patterns Team topologies, Conway's Law, Dunbar's number, span of control Team design, communication model

When to Load
