The distribution strategy takes a charter — six workstreams around one inversion

strategy/: the release-and-distribution effort, sibling to research/ but
different in kind — research gathers evidence, strategy turns it into
positions and plans. The charter records the goal (bootstrapped
sustainability with base→Pro growth in the personal garden first, Teams a
deliberate second act), the two tier anchors, what is already ruled, the
decision surface decomposed into workstreams, and the tensions to resolve.
The positioning line is the inversion: the garden's walls are around the
experience, not the data — closed polished surface, open documented
substrate, the exact inverse of the mainstream pattern and the moat
captive-state competitors cannot cheaply adopt.

+# Release & Distribution Strategy
+
+Long-term strategy work for Lanework's release, distribution, and business model: licensing, monetization, openness, marketing, and goals. Sibling to `research/` (the competitive-landscape corpus, which this directory draws on) but different in kind — `research/` gathers evidence about the market; `strategy/` turns evidence into positions, decisions, and plans for Lanework specifically.
+
+## Documents
+
+- [00-charter.md](00-charter.md) — the framing document: strategic goal, the two tier anchors, what is already ruled, the decision surface, the tensions to resolve, and the research agenda (start here)
+
+Workstream documents are added as they happen, numbered in sequence.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Same conventions as `research/`: each document opens with a scope note and a dated line; prose is unwrapped — one line per paragraph or list item.
+- A **position** is a working stance open to revision; a **ruling** is a decision recorded in DESIGN/ or RELEASE.md and stands unless explicitly re-ruled. Strategy documents may propose re-rulings but never silently contradict one.
