The last post I made was about the "what" and "why" of ICM. This one will be the "how." Actual folder structures, actual contracts. (If you've been wanting to try this but didn't know where to start, this is your blueprint.) ⭐ I'm going to walk through a real use case: (➡️ Adapt this to your own SOP) (Client) You're an IT Manager at a life sciences company and you need to automate SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) change control. If you've worked in pharma, biotech, or medtech, you know this pain. A single SOP change touches document control, impact assessment, reviewer routing, training assignments, and compliance sign-off.(or its supposed too anyway 😅) It's manual, it's slow, and it generates audit findings constantly. 📝Note* Every audit finding costs real money and real time. A single finding can trigger a CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action), which means someone has to investigate the root cause, document the fix, implement the fix, verify the fix worked, and then prove all of that to an auditor. That's hours of work per finding, across multiple people. 🥅 The goal of the workflow below is to take an SOP change request, from the moment someone submits it, all the way through to a revised document with the right reviewers assigned and the right people flagged for retraining, without a human having to manually route, classify, chase approvals, or figure out who needs to be retrained. We're going to build an ICM workspace that handles the intake-to-approval pipeline. And we're going to do it using the 60/30/10 ratio so you can see exactly how the layers map to real architecture. Now for the 👇 🗂️ The Folder Structure ( Your 60%) ← ✅ This is your deterministic (predictable) infrastructure. It doesn't change, it doesn't need AI, and it does most of the heavy lifting. sop-change-control/ ├── CLAUDE.md ├── CONTEXT.md ├── _config/ │ ├── compliance-rules.md │ ├── reviewer-matrix.md │ ├── sop-template.md │ └── training-requirements.md ├── references/

Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it.
