Governance

SOPs and rules that outlive any single piece of work.

Convention

A rule without a dated instance does not belong here — it is somebody's preference, and preferences do not survive contact with a tired reader at 2am.

Naming: FCC_<TOPIC>_SOP.md — same stem across stages, so a Find, its blueprint and its critique are findable together by anyone who knows only the topic.

Adopted from the convention all five peer projects converged on (AOME, CTO, CONSTEL, RC, PAOM). See FCC_PEER_SOP_ALIGNMENT_RESEARCH.
