Continuity, Custodianship & Codified Control Without Visibility
"For those who wish to leave without losing the thread—this book is for you."

The Founder’s Framework is not a playbook for control. It is a field manual for vanishing with intention. For architects of systems who know that their finest act of leadership will be their absence—and who seek to make that absence a design feature, not a vulnerability.

This book offers structural tools for founder exit, cultural durability, and long-cycle governance—built not around ego, but around judgment protocols, decision-making maps, incentive scaffolds, and succession models that persist without personal presence.
This is the second and final book in the Designing for Disappearance series. Where The Steward’s Codex explored governance, grounded ownership, and regenerative design from the vantage of the system, The Founder’s Framework turns inward—to the person who began it all, and who must one day disappear. Together, the two books form a singular arc: from codifying the system, to stepping away from it. From composing structure, to designing absence.

The context remains grounded in rural and emerging geographies—but the principle is universal: you are not the point. You are the pattern-holder. And your truest legacy is not in being remembered. It is in being no longer required.

This is not a guide for those who want to scale themselves.
It is a power manual for those who want to be outgrown.

For readers of Legacy, The E-Myth, and Principles—looking not for influence, but for infrastructure.
