Operating framework for Community

1) Scope for Community/ecosystem

Write one sentence for the business outcome behind Community ecosystem scores KPI Framework: Startups edition 2027. List constraints (fragmented ownership across teams). Reject work that does not serve the sentence.

2) Ownership map

Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.

3) Control stack

• conflict-of-interest disclosure (entry gate)
• version/date freshness stamp (delivery gate)
• criteria rubric versioning (review gate)

4) Delivery rhythm

Ship in small increments. After each release, add links to the Software Reviews hub and sibling cluster pages.

5) Learning loop

Compare planned vs actual every week. Keep, fix, or stop. Do not expand while conflict-of-interest disclosure is failing.
