SCAILE Playbook

The operating manual for the SCAILE team. Shared context everyone needs — what SCAILE is, how we work, where things live — plus a guide for each role. Whatever your seat, start here instead of pinging the team. The current FA owns and maintains it.

Start here in 10 minutes

1. 00-start-here.md — how to read this.
2. Roles — find the guide for your seat. The Founder's Associate guide is fully written; other roles are filling in.
3. knowledge-map.md — where every kind of knowledge actually lives, including the internal scaile-knowledge-base repo.

New here? Start with the Day 0 checklist to get access sorted, then open your role in Roles. Joining as a Founder's Associate? Go straight to the FA onboarding guide — Day 0 checklist, briefing rules, and Claude Code setup on one page.

You can also query this playbook in Claude Code instead of reading — ask in plain language and it answers from the source.

Two layers: the shared sections (durable) plus the living layer (volatile — clients, ventures, priorities that go stale). It's a router, not a mirror — follow the links.

Got an idea or hit friction? Drop it in Improvements & ideas so it doesn't get lost in chat.

If you cannot find an answer in 10 seconds, the playbook is broken. Tell the current FA.
