Most software projects start as a single repo.

You add a website.
A distribution channel.
Auth.
Metrics.
A second tool.
A release pipeline.

Before long you’re not running an app anymore — you’re running an ecosystem.

So I mapped mine.

The diagram below shows the current structure of the True Good Craft software estate:

• TGC-BUS-Core — the sovereign local runtime
• BUS-Core-PRO — the desktop shell around the core
• Price-Guard — a standalone tool
• BUS-Core-PRO-auth — identity & licensing
• Lighthouse — metrics, manifests, and distribution support
• buscore-site / tgc-site — web surfaces
• tgc-ops — the governance and drift-control layer tying everything together

One thing became clear while building this map:

The moment you care about continuity, recoverability, and governance, a project stops being just software.

It becomes an operating ecosystem.

This is the current authority and operations view of True Good Craft.

Still evolving — but already a lot bigger than the first repo.

Curious how other builders visualize their growing software ecosystems.
