SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bets are a lightweight governance layer for product teams, connecting decisions, research, pushes, logs, documents, and outcomes within a single repo so work can be traced, audited, and learned from without replacing existing workflows or artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Five modes for lifecycle management: new, update, close, list, narrate.
  • Frontmatter-backed bet records in bets/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md with structured fields for hypothesis, appetite, deadline, metric, target, and verdict.
  • Bidirectional linking and safety checks to integrate bets with decisions, research, pushes, and outcomes, while preserving legacy campaigns when needed.

Quick Start

Create a new bet file under bets/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md with the required frontmatter and begin logging progress.
