Open methodology
An open method for learning under uncertainty
This playbook documents how teams frame problems, surface assumptions, run experiments, capture learnings, and synthesize insights, with quality gates at each step.

What's in the playbook
The repository is organized in layers. Start with the core method, add domain-specific patterns as you need them, and open the numbered walkthroughs when you want worked examples of each stage (documented in SwiftCNS).
Core method
The shared loop, definitions, quality gates, and fundamentals. Portable with any tools you already use.
Method patterns
Draft experiment templates and playbooks by domain (for example go-to-market assumptions or channel tests). Contributed as drafts and promoted when reviewed.
Reference walkthroughs
Numbered steps for the full loop, documented with SwiftCNS as the reference stack for operations and experiments.
Operations
Rubrics, checklists, program cadence, and metrics for teams running the method at scale.
