Quick-Reference Card

Status: Complete · The whole framework on one printable page. Pin it above your desk.

A single-page summary of the SAE Framework — the First Principles, the personas, the operating loop, the five non-negotiables, the four metrics, and the Zero-Ops stack. For the full one-page navigational summary with links, see Framework at a Glance.
