Business Bootstrap
Hub for founders and ops teams setting up essential IT support systems and related org ops topics (there is no separate business-resources Antora site). The repo name says “business”; the scope is any organization — for-profit, nonprofit, or OSS collective. Capability areas hold the deep articles; the stack map and stage defaults stitch them together. Prefer hosted until ops cost or residency forces self-host. Not every area is day-one — follow Defaults by org stage.
Sibling path (not a capability area here): standing up your AI coding studio (Cursor skills, MCP, agent rules) is Vibe coding bootstrap. It often happens alongside early Business Bootstrap—especially solo / shipping—but it is not org inbox/vault/chat. Stage defaults and Chat call it out so you do not skip it while walking BB.
