**Working browser surface:** [Project templates & workflows — overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/labs.html#templates-workflows>) — Create a local project from this template and validate its forms. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

Source-proposed guide paths are references, not proof that those paths resolve.

## Operating sequence

- Create the project intake record and assign a project owner.

- Define scope, audience, release definition, claim boundary, crawl intent, and accessibility target.

- Create milestones and deliverables with owners, dependencies, evidence requirements, and acceptance criteria.

- Set the target release date and generate a workback of review, content, accessibility, crawl, and release deadlines.

- Record dependencies and handoffs; mark the project blocked when a required prerequisite is missing.

- Link only the relevant local tools, guides, records, and held-capability notes.

- Capture source-labelled evidence for claims, content decisions, accessibility checks, crawl decisions, and release readiness.

- Submit each gate to Notebook Approvals and preserve Needs review, Approved, or Held decisions.

- Review risks and unresolved issues before any release decision.

- Close only when required evidence and approvals are complete; preserve deferred work, held claims, and final revisions.

## Handoff boundary

- Unsupported or stale public claims may pass planning without evidence.

- A named native route may be mistaken for a connected web, provider, publication, or production feature.

- Deadline changes can hide slippage unless revisions, reasons, and prior dates are preserved.

- Missing dependency owners can leave work silently blocked.

- Approval status may be confused with external publication or deployment.

- Local file references may be mistaken for uploaded or protected assets.

- Accessibility checks may be asserted without recorded method, scope, or evidence.

- Crawl or indexing intent may be mistaken for actual customer indexing.

- Sensitive private work may be exposed if visibility classification and search partitioning are not respected.

- Overly long forms may create abandonment; sections should support save-and-resume, concise validation, and clear progress.
