Guide (role)

The third of the five Constructor roles. The Guide watches the chain-links and the assemblage for drift, tripwires, and early signs of trouble — protecting the flows that keep the Product Line Stack operating. Its KPI is Change Capacity; its working artifact is the Tripwire Alert. Developed in Chapter 14 of Winning the Race. See also Aligner, Sensor, Strategizer, Architect, Tripwire Alert.
