+## Converting to Word Format
+
+### Option 1: Using Pandoc (Recommended)
+
+If you have Pandoc installed:
+
+```bash
+# Install Pandoc (if not already installed)
+# macOS: brew install pandoc
+# Windows: choco install pandoc
+# Linux: sudo apt-get install pandoc
+
+# Convert individual files
+pandoc headroom-project-charter.md -o headroom-project-charter.docx
+pandoc headroom-architecture.md -o headroom-architecture.docx
+pandoc headroom-decision-log.md -o headroom-decision-log.docx
+pandoc headroom-executive-summary.md -o headroom-executive-summary.docx
+
+# Or convert all at once
+for file in headroom-*.md; do
+  pandoc "$file" -o "${file%.md}.docx"
+done
+```
+
+### Option 2: Using Online Converters
+
+If Pandoc is not available:
+
+1. Visit https://cloudconvert.com/md-to-docx
+2. Upload the .md file
+3. Download the .docx file
+
+Alternatively:
+- https://www.markdowntopdf.com/ (converts to PDF)
+- https://dillinger.io/ (online Markdown editor with export)
+
+### Option 3: Copy-Paste Method
+
+1. Open the .md file in any Markdown viewer (VSCode, Typora, MacDown)
+2. Copy the rendered content
+3. Paste into Microsoft Word
+4. Format as needed
+
+## Mermaid Diagrams
+
+The architecture document contains Mermaid diagrams. To render them:
+
+### In Markdown Viewers
+- **VSCode**: Install "Markdown Preview Mermaid Support" extension
+- **Typora**: Built-in Mermaid support
+- **MacDown**: May require plugin
+
+### For Word Conversion
+
+Mermaid diagrams don't convert directly to Word. Options:
+
+1. **Render to images first:**
+   ```bash
+   # Using mermaid-cli
+   npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli
+   mmdc -i architecture.md -o architecture.docx
+   ```
+
+2. **Use online renderer:**
+   - Visit https://mermaid.live/
+   - Paste Mermaid code
+   - Export as PNG/SVG
+   - Insert into Word document
+
+3. **Keep as code blocks:**
+   - Diagrams will appear as text in Word
+   - Acceptable for technical documentation
+
+## Recommended Reading Order
+
+### For Project Owner (You)
+1. Start with **headroom-executive-summary.md** (overview)
+2. Read **headroom-decision-log.md** (verify all decisions captured)
+3. Review **headroom-project-charter.md** (detailed requirements)
+4. Study **headroom-architecture.md** (technical deep-dive)
+
+### For Associate
+1. **headroom-executive-summary.md** (context)
+2. **headroom-architecture.md** (technical implementation)
+3. **headroom-project-charter.md** (detailed requirements as needed)
+
+### For Hardcopy/Reference
+- **headroom-executive-summary.md** → Print for quick reference
+- **headroom-architecture.md** → Print for technical diagrams
+
+## Document Maintenance
+
+### When to Update
+
+**Project Charter:**
+- When requirements change
+- When new features are added to scope
+- When success metrics are revised
+
+**Architecture:**
+- When tech stack changes
+- When new integrations are added
+- When deployment approach changes
+
+**Decision Log:**
+- Add entries for major decisions

+
+### Version Control
+
+All documents are in git. To track changes:
+
+```bash
+# View history of a document
+git log -p docs/headroom-project-charter.md
+
+# Compare versions
+git diff HEAD~1 docs/headroom-architecture.md
+
+# Tag major versions
+git tag -a v1.0-docs -m "Initial documentation complete"
+```
