CompanyGraph — One core, and the words your company adds

Core holds what every company shares, and a pack what only some kinds of company need. Your own words go into kinds and sections.

Too small, too large

A vocabulary too small leaves facts out. One too large makes every company carry types it leaves empty.

Level 0: core

What fits every business. Core defines a type; it does not oblige you to fill it.

Level 1: a pack

Vocabulary only some kinds of company need at all. For any other company its types are absent, not optional.

The one-way rule

A pack names core; core never names a pack. Taking one asks nothing new of a page you already have.

Your own sorts

A kind is a page in your own words that sorts the pages of a type: product kind, decision kind, group kind, system kind. It adds no type.

Your own sections

A section is open and a field is closed: a page may carry prose its schema does not declare.

Taking a pack

init --pack when you start, upgrade --pack later: vendored beside core, listed in the manifest, checked and moved with it.

Do you need one?

Take a pack when your company is that kind of company, and only then.

When nothing fits

Ask with a feature request. New vocabulary starts from a pattern a real company shows, not from a wish list.

The pack talks

One talk follows for each pack, for people who already work in the method it draws from.

Take only the words your company needs

Core for every company and a pack for your kind. Your own words go into kinds and sections before any new type.
