How does Books work?

Every book runs the same seven-stage chain — this is the Production Lifecycle (Intent → Publish) with Books' own names on each stage.

Input

What goes in

A brand, a topic, and a BookContract — the promise the finished book has to keep (audience, register, structural shape).

Gate

What has to pass

Structural gates, the four-piece production chord (spine + production quality + exercise journeys), and — for flagship claims — a Layer-3 line-edit pass.

Output

What comes out

A byte-verified EPUB, registered in the brand catalog, with cover art and evidence attached.

Evidence
