# What's inside the free sample

This zip holds **3 real files from the Employee Recognition Kit, trimmed** —
same style, same worked example (the fictional 32-person agency Solstice
Studio), about a third of each file's full length. The full kit has 30 files.

| File in this sample | Full version in the kit |
|---|---|
| `1-program-charter-SAMPLE.md` | `1-define/program-charter.md` (purpose, four doors, not-list, roles, sign-off block) |
| `2-award-menu-SAMPLE.md` | `2-earn/award-menu-and-criteria.md` (all four award types with bars + worked posts) |
| `3-ops-rhythm-SAMPLE.md` | `5-run/ops-rhythm-SOP.md` (weekly 15-min / monthly 45-min / quarterly 90-min routines) |

## What the full kit adds on top of these three

- The values-behavior matrix and the eligibility & fairness rules
- The nomination form with three worked examples (accepted / returned / declined)
- The peer shoutout playbook — post template, strong verbs, banned framings
- The budget model, the worked cost-estimate CSV ($960/quarter) and the three approval emails
- The six-week launch plan, four comms templates and the 30-minute kickoff agenda
- The moderation & inclusion guardrails and the 32-person coverage tracker CSV
- The milestone playbook with privacy rules, anniversary templates, milestone tracker
- The KPI scorecard, the 90-day survey with a synthesis method, the quarterly review agenda
- The refresh SOP and the annual report one-pager
- A 10-prompt AI pack behind a fact-check gate
- Novice SETUP (10 steps, each with a "what success looks like" check)

## How to use the sample

Read file 1 and draft your one-sentence purpose for a real company — that
takes 15 minutes and is genuinely useful on its own. If the style works
for you, the full kit is $79 one-time on the product page, with a 14-day
full refund.
