The OpenChain Project has begun a new guide designed to expand on options for small, medium and large companies adopting one or the other of our existing ISO standards. The goal is to outline some of the implementation choices an organization can make when filling out process points for open source business management. It is also going to link more deeply into our Reference Library for further examples and resources.
This guide is in early days, and we are putting out a call for ideas, suggestions and contributions.

Next Steps:
For next steps, we would like to:
- Expand on the options available for each topic covered
- Include better references to open source tooling for open source compliance matters
Note:
One thing that is noteworthy is that this guide is human-drafted but it is being developed in conjunction with a locally-installed LLM (Gemma3 12b). The LLM prompts and original output are at the bottom of the guide itself. There is no intention to replace human review and development, but rather to test to what extent current LLMs are providing accurate or useful information around our standards. This will help us develop guidance on LLM use for OpenChain and other compliance initiatives later in the year.
