This is the navigable index of every canonical doc in the FIN platform. It is
maintained as the FIN intranet’s home page. Every doc listed here is one of:
canonical — current source of truth for its surface
draft — actively being written, not yet authoritative
superseded — replaced by a successor doc (referenced in superseded_by)
stale — known to drift from current reality, retained for history
archived — preserved but not maintained
Docs not listed here are not canonical, regardless of where they sit in the
repo. Adding a doc to the canon means adding an entry here.
Front-Matter Convention
Every canonical doc must carry frontmatter with at least:
---doc_id: stable_id_in_snake_casetitle: Human Readable Titlestatus: canonical | draft | superseded | stale | archivedaudience: internal | partner | public | federal | mixedsupersedes: [doc_id_of_predecessor] # optionalsuperseded_by: doc_id_of_successor # required if status = supersededmaintained_by: actor_idlast_revised: YYYY-MM-DDreview_cadence: weekly | monthly | quarterly | annual | event-driven---
The doc ingest pipeline (Projection Spec §5-7) reads this frontmatter to
build the index automatically. This page is the human-readable rendering of
the same data.

Maintenance Rules
Every new canonical doc gets an entry here before merge.
Status changes require a one-line note here with date.
Weekly review: walk the table, flag stale candidates, archive
confirmed-stale.
Quarterly review: re-confirm canonical status of every entry.
The doc ingest pipeline emits doc.indexed events as docs enter the
canon. This page should match the index projection. If it diverges,
the projection is the source of truth — update the page.
Docs outside docs/ are not canon (working drafts, scratch, uploads).
Promotion to canon = move to the appropriate folder + add to this index.
FIN-As-Tenant-Zero
The FIN intranet itself runs on the platform it describes. Every doc in
the canon is a knowledge.domain = doc row in FIN’s own tenant. The
projection catalog applies. The agentic harness applies. Partners (Anthropic,
investors, federal reviewers) interact with the FIN intranet exactly as
Nathel customers will interact with the Nathel intranet.
This is the dogfood discipline: nothing ships to Nathel that hasn’t first
proven itself in the FIN canon.
