Contract Over Code
Owning the Ask, the Review, and the Outcome When Generation Is Cheap
William Shane Burrell
Generation is cheap. The contract is not. Your queue is reporting an unowned contract, not a generation problem. This book tells you whether that is a staffing problem, a gating problem, or an ownership problem, and what to install in ninety days.

Who this book is for
The leader who owns delivery outcomes: the CTO, the VP of engineering, the director who will be asked next planning cycle whether to add seats, add seniors, or just iterate. Not a gate catalog or a prompt-engineering guide. Every numbered chapter ends with an artifact you can run the same week, with no new tooling.
