business-operations (D-04)
The firm’s engagement and back-office machinery, run by the Operations Manager (BR) with TL oversight. 13 cells across the four nodes; the engagement lifecycle (intake → proposal → mobilization), the vendor pipeline, logistics templates, and administration are all drafted.

Seams
Produces ART-vendor-roster (BIZ-006, to D-02 surge staffing and CC-01) and ART-engagement-order (BIZ-003, to D-02/D-03 at mobilization). Consumes D-01 vetting artifacts (ART-vendor-integrity-vetting, ART-vendor-due-diligence, ART-insider-threat-monitoring, ART-executive-background-investigation) and D-03’s ART-loadout-cost-baseline (priced kit BOMs) into BIZ-013.
Cost model (added 2026-07-06)
BIZ-013 is the single roll-up of equipment economics: program startup capital $9,589.36 ($8,093.39 detail loadout for 4 operators / 2 vehicles plus $1,495.97 for the SYS-011 OSINT collection platform), growth tier $11,326.89 behind named trigger conditions, recurring and per-engagement cost drivers, ranked trade rationale (including the 32 GB-now / 64 GB-at-growth call that sidesteps the 2026 DRAM shortage), and the price source register (as-of 2026-07-05). Consumes ART-loadout-cost-baseline from SYS-003/004/009/010/011.
Gaps
- All 13 cells drafted; independent review to approved is open.
- Demobilization/AAR business playbook not yet split from BIZ-003.
