Pipeline

Books move through states. Domain shelves explain why they matter; workflow shelves decide what happens next.

Intake rule

ONBOARD A BOOK

  1. Capture: place new books in inbox, not directly into commitment.
  2. Test: use sample-first when the value is uncertain.
  3. Assign: pick workflow, ownership, reading mode, and domain.
  4. Promote: only next-up can become now.
  5. Buy: buy-next is allowed only when it serves now or next-up.
