# Cardinal Conseils Artifacts

> Deployable implementation guides, frameworks, and methodologies from Cardinal Conseils. Structured using the BUILD framework (Brief → Unpack → Install → Layer → Deploy). Each artifact is a packaged piece of expertise: saved to Obsidian, indexed in Brain, and served via Vercel.

## Structure

Each guide lives at `[venture]/[mode]/[topic-slug]/` with:
- `README.md` — full guide in markdown with YAML frontmatter
- `index.html` — interactive HTML version (when produced)
- `meta.json` — machine-readable metadata (title, modes, venture, format, tags, summary, live_url)

## Machine Index

`/_index.json` — flat array of all guide metadata. Use this to discover available guides programmatically.

## Ventures

- `cardinal/` — Cardinal Conseils advisory frameworks and client methodologies
- `payfacto/` — PayFacto / Maître'D internal playbooks
- `serviconnect/` — ServiConnect / Adah agentic builds and voice agent architecture
- `proposai/` — Proposai.ca product guides and GTM
- `personal/` — Personal exploration, half-baked ideas

## Modes

- `framework/` — Teachable IP with named models and worked examples
- `client/` — SMB consulting deliverables with handoff kits
- `product/` — B2C/B2B digital products with commercialization packs
- `self/` — Personal tactical playbooks

## Available Guides

### cardinal/framework/ai-strategy-alignment
Title: The AI–Strategy Alignment Framework
Summary: Link every AI initiative to corporate strategy. Three frameworks — the five AI roles across the strategy lifecycle, OKRs + Scrum for organizing around outcomes, and the Define→Build→Measure→Adapt alignment loop — plus an interactive Alignment Canvas that scores any AI project on strategic, operational, and financial value before you build, surfacing the output-vs-outcome trap that stalls most AI work.

### cardinal/framework/five-h-framework
Title: The Five H Framework — A Leadership Philosophy for Real AI Adoption
Summary: Human · Horizon · Habits · Handoff · Harvest — a leadership philosophy for real AI adoption delivered as a 90-day single-leader coaching engagement. Diagnoses where a leader's own AI adoption is shallow, installs AI-augmented habits and team governance, and proves impact with a Leader AI Impact Dashboard measuring outcomes, not activity.

### cardinal/self/agent-skill-learning
Title: Agent Self-Learning — Skill Creation Architecture
Summary: Four-layer architecture for controlled AI agent self-improvement: Config & routing (deterministic), LLM reasoning (probabilistic), Memory & context, and Skill creation with quarantine gates. Covers curriculum ingestion, feedback correction, post-task reflection, and guardrails that prevent skill drift — with a Hermes vs Claude Code comparison and minimum viable setup.
