🧪 Meridian Commerce Group • Applied Data Management Laboratory
🏢 Meridian Project Lab
This is the project side of the CDMP system. Use it to turn DMBOK theory into company decisions, SQL/Python work, governance artifacts, evidence, defects, and a documented portfolio trail.

🧠 Core operating rule
Technology is never the lesson by itself. The DMBOK concept is the lesson. Technology gives you a way to see, test, build, break, repair, trace, measure or explain that concept.

🎛️ Authority split
- 📘 Main 00A — DMBOK source fidelity, learning, retrieval and exam mastery.
- 🧪 Main 00B — Meridian lab design, evidence, independence and applied-project QC.
- 🧭 Main 00C — exact learner sequence across study and labs.
- 🚪 Main 00 — short navigation doorway.
For normal progression, open 00C. For project work, stay here and use the Project Workbench.
