When you onboard a new client, one of the first things you're doing is building a mental map of their network. What subnets are they running? What's the gateway? Which IPs are pinned to critical infrastructure? And where does that information actually live?

If you've spent any time on r/homelab or r/selfhosted, you know the stack. Bookstack or Wiki.js for documentation. NetBox for IP address management. Vaultwarden for credentials. Snipe-IT for hardware tracking. Maybe a Nextcloud folder for SSL certs because you keep forgetting when they expire. Five apps. Five Docker containers. Five things to update, back up, and keep from drifting out of sync with each other.
