* **`CAD`** — Design, Architectural Blueprints, & Schematics (Team C)

* **`ERP`** — Cloud ERP Configurations, Finance, & Operations (Team A)

* **`SEC`** — Physical Security, Firewalls, & Cyber Compliance

* **`COR`** — Corporate Governance, Management, & Cross-Department Policies

### Document Types (`[TYPE]`)

* **`SOP`** — Standard Operating Procedure (Step-by-step actionable guide)

* **`STD`** — Mandatory Engineering or Operational Standard

* **`GUI`** — Recommended Guidelines & Best Practices

* **`SPEC`** — Technical Specification or Architecture Blueprint
