Approved internal reference assets
Preserve the knowledge that helps teams understand systems, history, and operating context.
The reference library is now route-native in `apps/web`, giving internal context and institutional memory a real product surface instead of leaving it only in legacy demo HTML.
Content with named steward and review visibility
Cross-links into runbooks, problems, training, and audit

Reference Domains
Organize operational memory by the kinds of context people actually need.
| Domain | What It Holds | Typical User | Connected Surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service History | Past incidents, recurring pain points, ownership changes, and major delivery milestones for specific services. | Service owners, analysts, incident leads | Problems + Audit |
| Architecture Context | System relationships, dependency notes, integration boundaries, and design assumptions. | Technical leads, engineers, new team members | Assets + Infra |
| Lessons Learned | What changed after incidents, approvals, vendor disputes, or failed work patterns. | Managers, problem owners, trainers | Problems + Training |
| Vendor Intelligence | Escalation behavior, contract friction points, support quality notes, and known response patterns. | Vendor owners, leaders, incident command | Vendors + Optimization |
| Controlled Guidance | Operational reference notes that support decisions without becoming formal SOPs or live runbooks. | Service desk, service owners, technical leads | Training + Runbook |
AI-Assisted Retrieval Example
AI can help teams find relevant internal context faster, but only from approved content and with visible source grounding.
Reference Query
"What do we already know about repeated remote access vendor escalation delays, and which related artifacts should I review before the next incident review?"
The reference library shows a recurring pattern of delayed evidence acknowledgement during remote access incidents when escalation packets are opened without the full latency timeline and affected-division summary.
- Review the vendor evidence checklist before opening a new escalation path.
- Compare the current incident to the last two major remote access degradations for common early signals.
- Use the linked training drill if the incident lead is new to the escalation pattern.
