Guide

Adopting the Library Across a Group or Multi-Entity Structure

The docs/adopter-guide.md and its worked example docs/worked-example-adoption.md show a single organization adopting the library. A group, holding company, or multi-entity structure has a further decision the single-entity guidance does not address: how to adopt the library across several legal entities that share governance but differ in jurisdiction, sector, and regulatory exposure. This guide adds that topology layer. It composes the corpus's existing group-scope precedents, the jurisdiction-annex layering model, and the versioning policy by cross-reference; it does not restate the single-entity adoption mechanics, for which the adopter guide governs.
