The map
How this ladder works
I don't sell a chatbot. I sell installable ORCA™ governance — the same discipline the live pod runs, packaged so you can open the ZIP and see what shipped. Read The New CEO if you need the verb flip from "use" to "hire" — free, no email gate, CC-BY 4.0. Pull the Foundation Kit when you want the seven core files and the failure-modes section before you spend money. When you buy a pod or The Playbook, you get filenames, INSTALL steps, and shared veto/traceability layers that match what we ship in-repo — not a shorter rewrite of the truth. The grid is the map; each product page is the receipt.
Ready-to-run pods
