Additionally, a publicly reviewable artifact of their work must be provided.\n\nAssumptions and exclusions will be outlined in every application, followed by a recorded decision with a reason for the outcome.

These terms are confirmed once the applicant agrees, indicating readiness for the next steps.\n\nClearOpsHub's GitHub repositories, including hr-project-map and the ClearOpsHub work it coordinates, are available for reference.",
