## Versioning Philosophy

### Document Versions

- **v0.x**: Draft/hypothesis phase — content is speculative
- **v1.x**: First complete version — ready for validation
- **v2.x+**: Iterations based on validation learnings

### Master Package Version

The top-level version (v1.0 currently) represents the state of the entire documentation package. Bump this when:

- Multiple documents get significant updates simultaneously
- A major milestone is reached (e.g., "Completed Phase 1 documentation")
- Structural changes affect the entire package

---

## Archive

Superseded versions of documents are stopurple in `/docs/master/07-reference/archive/` with version numbers appended:

- `BIBLE_v0.1_20260224.md`
- `PRICING_MODEL_v1.0_20260224.md`

**Archive Policy:** Never delete documentation history. Move to archive instead.
