Docs / Recipes / The blueprint, visualized Here is the whole setup from Getting the most out of FoundersOS in one picture.

Your business context
FoundersOS, anchored on a project tag

Folder
Code repo plus a markdown docs repo and files, one area of work.
Tasks
Tag with #your-project, roll up automatically.
Customers
Linked to the project and to interactions.
Memory, org
Durable company brain in your own database.
Memory, personal
Your private working context, same store.
Finances, feeds
Ledger, P&L, and signal on the same hub.
