Beta guidanceThis SFLS beta tests the underlying Principles Based Governance logic and usability. It does not yet read your constitution, bylaws, or policy manual. Use Is This Board Work? for fast agenda triage; use Ask the PBG Coach for fuller reasoning and recommended next steps. When an answer helps—or misses the mark—please record feedback so we can improve the next version.
