feat: Add findings backlog as pragmatic alternative to risk register

New: assessment-templates/findings-backlog.md
  Design principles: lives where client works, every finding has an owner,
  feeds the housekeeping stream, accumulates from all sources.
  Format: 6-field minimal entry (ID, finding, source, priority, owner,
  status) with optional target date/effort/notes/closed date.
  P0/P1/P2 priority using kill chain test.
  Flat file template for Git-based clients.
  Population guide: Day 30 (from Brownhat), subsequent modules, continuous
  tools (ASTRAL drift, PULSAR alerts, Elysium, BloodHound).
  Monthly housekeeping cycle structure.
  Relationship to formal risk register explained.
  Backlog health indicators (warning signs it is not functioning).

Wired into existing framework:
  move-fast-and-fix-things.md: Rule 4 now names the backlog as the queue
  rapid-modernisation-plan.md: Day 30 item 7 and Phase 1 action updated
  engagement-model.md: Section 4 deliverables table updated at all stages
  assessment-templates/README.md: Production-ready templates section added
  index.md: Findings Backlog added to Assessment and Tools table

> *"What gets measured gets managed. What gets managed honestly becomes antifragile."*
This directory contains diagnostic tools, maturity models, and assessment resources for evaluating organizational antifragility. Two production-ready tools are available now; additional assessments are in active development.

## Production-Ready Templates
| Template | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| [Findings Backlog](findings-backlog.md) | Single source of truth for all findings across every module and diagnostic. The input queue for the housekeeping stream. Pragmatic alternative to a formal risk register for organisations that do not have one. |
| [NIST CSF 2.0 Baseline Assessment](nist-csf-baseline.md) | The Brownhat Diagnostic: structured 2-half-day workshop, gap analysis, kill chain identification |
| [Module Completion Report](module-completion-report.md) | Completion package template for every module; includes backlog update |
| [Antifragile Risk Register](antifragile-risk-register.md) | Formal risk register template; the backlog feeds into this for organisations with mature risk management |
| [Risk Register Example](risk-register-example.md) | 8 fully populated entries from a realistic engagement — calibration reference |
| [M365 Project Risk Register](m365-project-risk-register.md) | M365-specific risk register with phase gates |
