The IT service craft.
Open tools keep acquisition costs low — but the service is delivered by people. This is exactly where a community of intermediaries emerges between businesses and specialists: app developers, administrators, auditors and clerks.
Why this craft is needed
Open source instead of cloud lock-in
Solutions are often tied to clouds today. For smaller businesses this creates risks across the entire retention period: lock-in, provider switch, insolvency, format change.
Skill as a service
OSS lowers entry costs, not effort. Those who implement, operate and audit Git-native compliance need practice — and that is exactly what this craft provides.
From beginner to master and auditor.
The level model follows the Body of Knowledge and the example of established partner programmes: traceable levels, clear criteria, a visible quality signal in the directory.
Beginner
Foundations of Git-native filing, GCBoK curriculum part I, first accompanied introductions.
Journeyman
Independent implementation, process documentation, approval paths and evidence export.
Master / auditor
Audit, certification, audit readiness and governance across several clients.
