# How to Explore This Project

> SuiteCentral 2.0's knowledge surfaces are organized around four audiences — pick the path built for how you evaluate.

## Choose your surface

### Business leader or executive evaluator

- **Start here in the wiki**: the [[index|front door]] role paths — [[pages/role-briefs/cfo|CFO]], [[pages/role-briefs/cto|CTO]], [[pages/role-briefs/coo|COO]] — or the [business reading path](index-business.md).
- **Ask questions with citations**: the [SuiteCentral 2.0 NotebookLM notebook](https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/ca3bd54b-c240-4432-93c3-545099bf719b) answers from the canonical source pack and cites its sources.

### Outside engineer or AI reviewer

- **Read the source**: the public [reviewer snapshot](https://github.com/KStratMD/Preston-Test-reviewer-snapshot) — a curated mirror of the production tree with audit scripts you can run yourself. Its README is the evaluation entry point.
- **Fast orientation**: [DeepWiki's auto-generated wiki](https://deepwiki.com/KStratMD/Preston-Test-reviewer-snapshot) over that snapshot — architecture pages plus a "chat with this codebase" box (third-party analysis; the proof cards remain the evidence of record).
- **Evidence of record**: the [proof cards](https://demo.kstratmdconsulting.com/docs/review/proof-cards/_template.md) — per-component Status / Tests / Known Gaps / 60-second verification.

### Developer or AI coding agent

- **Machine-readable wiki**: [llms.txt](https://demo.kstratmdconsulting.com/wiki/llms.txt) (index) and [llms-full.txt](https://demo.kstratmdconsulting.com/wiki/llms-full.txt) (full content) — feed either to your agent.
- **The layer map**: [[pages/concepts/suitecentral-code-architecture|SuiteCentral Code Architecture]] and its seven per-layer pages, starting at [[pages/architecture/user-operator-surfaces|Layer 1]].
- **In-repo guidance**: `AGENTS.md` at the repo root is the CLI-agent operating manual (mirrored in the reviewer snapshot).

### Product user

- **In-app help**: the Help chat answers product questions grounded in the live documentation set.
- **Interactive architecture**: the [Code Architecture Dashboard](https://demo.kstratmdconsulting.com/code-architecture-dashboard.html) — click any layer of the infographic for its summary, docs, and suggested questions wired to the help assistant.

## The seven architecture layers

[[pages/architecture/user-operator-surfaces|1 · User & Operator Surfaces]] → [[pages/architecture/http-api-edge|2 · HTTP-API Edge]] → [[pages/architecture/core-application-services|3 · Core Application Services]] → [[pages/architecture/ai-intelligence|4 · AI & Intelligence]] → [[pages/architecture/governance-safety|5 · Governance & Safety]] (vertical rail) → [[pages/architecture/connector-integration-layer|6 · Connector & Integration Layer]] → [[pages/architecture/data-evidence-publishing|7 · Data, Evidence, and Publishing]]
