# biz42

> A plain-text, outside-in business model for the age of coding agents, grounded in ISO 9001:2015.
> It links market signals and stakeholder expectations to risks and opportunities, objectives,
> measures, owners, capabilities and products — so every feature can be traced to a business reason.

If you are an AI agent asked to create or update a biz42 model:

1. Run `npx @biz42/cli guide` for the workflow and the chapter order.
2. Work one chapter at a time with `npx @biz42/cli guide chapter <n>`, starting with 1 (Scope).
   Ask your human: business context cannot be derived from the repository.
3. Look up the fields of a block type with `npx @biz42/cli explain <type>`
   (scope, signal, expectation, risk, opportunity, objective, measure, owner, capability,
   product, evaluation, improvement, cashflow).
4. The model is consistent when `npx @biz42/cli validate --strict` exits 0.
   `npx @biz42/cli rules` explains every rule.

Each element is prose followed by a `:::<type>` block whose fields reference other elements by id:

- signal, expectation: `surfaces` → risk, opportunity
- objective: `addresses` → risk, opportunity; `measured-by` → measure; `owner` → owner; `requires` → capability
- capability: `enables` → product; `owner` → owner
- product: `fulfills` → expectation; `owner` → owner
- evaluation: `evaluates` → measure
- improvement: `triggered-by` → evaluation; `addresses` → objective, capability, product
