Playbooks

Step-by-step pipelines that use multiple ETL platforms together to win grants, publish papers, and run programs.

Playbooks live at the ETL hub (not inside any one platform) because they cross platforms. Each one walks a faculty member from idea through submission and resubmission, naming the ETL tool that fits each stage and what to expect at each step.
