The Architecture
The steamHouse intellectual architecture: Heart-Head-Body, the four principles (RT, PA, MR, OR), three levels of consciousness (Automatic → Conscious → Purposeful), the Purpose-Paradigm-Practice model, and 58 Development Markers that make growth concrete and verifiable.

Core Framework Documents
✓
Framework Guide — 31 chapters, ~120,000 wordsThe complete intellectual architecture of steamHouse in academic-accessible form: every concept defined, grounded in research, and connected to every other concept. The deepest single reference document.
FWGD_ 5 vols✓
Manual — 4 volumes, ~680 pages, age-differentiatedThe operational handbook for running steamHouse: what to do, in what order, with whom, at what developmental stage. Volumes I–IV cover ages 8–22 with progressively sophisticated content and activities.
MANUAL_VOLUME_ / MANL_✓
Mentor's Guide — 4 volumesThe specific guide for adults in the mentoring role: how to facilitate rather than instruct, how to use the framework without wielding it, and how to keep developing as a mentor over time.
MENT_ 2 files✓
Core Reference Documents — 4 filesBriefs & Descriptions, Philosophy & Epistemology, System Overview, and Extended Reference — the four canonical summary documents at different levels of depth.
CORE_ 4 files✓
Terminology Reference v4Every steamHouse term defined, with etymology, usage guidance, and notes on terms that are ambiguous or audience-specific. The single source of truth for language consistency.
STEAMHOUSE_TERMINOLOGY_REFERENCE_v4✓
Globe Team Position Paper v2How the steamHouse framework applies to global contexts — cross-cultural validity, the universality argument, and the design for replication in communities far beyond Colorado.
CORE_Globe_Team_Position_v2 · 58KDevelopment Markers & Credentialing
✓
58 Development Markers — 15 Stars, 24 Lenses, 19 KeysThe most operationally important part of the architecture: 58 specific, observable behaviors and capacities that indicate development is actually happening. Stars are high-visibility milestones; Lenses are perceptual shifts; Keys are practical competencies.
DEVELOPMENT_MARKERS_*✓
Readiness ProfileA tool for assessing where a young person currently is across the development markers — not as a ranking but as a map for where to direct energy.
steamHouse_Readiness_Profile_OVERVIEW✓
Measurement & Pilot ToolkitThe research-ready measurement instruments for a formal pilot study — the tools needed to demonstrate to funders and academic partners that steamHouse produces measurable developmental outcomes.
Clem: MSRE_*✓
Credentialing System Design — full specThe complete design for an online credentialing platform: how participants document and certify their development over time, what a steamHouse credential means, and how it differs from a grade or a test score.
Clem: CURR_Credentialing_Platform_Vision○
Online Credentialing Platform — build pendingThe actual software platform that implements the credentialing design. Architecture and spec complete; engineering not yet started. Contingent on funding.
