VG Operating Guides Long-form playbooks, explainers, SOPs, and process guides

Generated 2026-05-18 Source vg/tools/render_section_hub.py
Guides
Contains onboarding and operational guides for the portal and VG processes. The Portal Guide is the most important entry — it describes every tab across all portal sections in one page, making it ideal for new team members or for answering 'what is this section for?' questions without navigating the live portal.
When to use
  • When onboarding a new PM, EA, or investor to the portal
  • When you're unsure which hub or tab contains a specific piece of information
  • When preparing for a review meeting and need to brief someone on the portal layout
Questions it can answer
  • Which portal tab shows the construction budget vs actuals by segment?
  • Where do I find the VPT pipeline of pending vendor payments?
  • What is the difference between the Actuals board and the Spend Board?
