Policy

All examples, sample configurations, and walkthroughs use one fictional company: Infinite Improbability Corp (IIC).

Mandatory

Never use contoso, fabrikam, adventure-works, woodgrove, example.com, or any real customer name. IIC only — in every repo, every example, every sample config.

Enforcement

• Config validation: variables.example.yml uses IIC naming in all placeholders
• CI: Vale linting rules flag non-IIC fictional company names (when configured)
