📖 Info about that step
📊 This is an experiment at this point
Right now it is intended as a way to keep a running summary of notes
for each project phase
I'm open to suggestions
📍Where in the 2110 Topo stack you will find that step
For many steps this will not really track.
The risk level for each step is explained.
My current intention is to roll out a phase per week.
