elementary · the house
The house, and the equipment it makes.
Elementary Digital makes the systems a business runs on, and the plane that runs across them. This page is the wiring: which system serves which department, what Q can do in each today, and what first class will mean.
the wiring
Four systems, one plane.
Each system is the equipment of one department. Q runs across them and returns the receipt. The grade on each box is the state of the connection today.
people · identity throughout
Wocha
live · connected
Identity, tenancy and provisioning. Every Q tenant is a Wocha tenant, and the principal on every approval comes from it.
operations
Route Royal
connected over MCP · closest to first class
All of Route Royal's tools are reachable from a run, and two agents write back. Its tools carry idempotency keys and confirmation-required responses, the shape an action binding needs. No binding exists yet.
finance
Vellon
built · billing not switched on
Metering, entitlements, webhooks and a pre-dispatch admission claim are built and disabled by default. Live billing is not yet approved or proven.
records
Black Ink · Chancery
connected for documents
Documents and publishing. Reached as a connected system today; the record it keeps is not yet part of the receipt.
Q
the execution plane · runs, approvals, receipts
grades as of 2026-11-01 · amber marks a system in service
first class
What first class will mean.
A system is first class when the receipt is complete. Four tests, each with where a connected system stands today and what first class adds. No Elementary system passes all four yet.
- The action is bound
- connected todayQ binds the approval to the action version on its own side.
- first classThe system itself enforces the version, so a changed action cannot ride on an earlier decision.
- The receipt is signed
- connected todayQ records which principal acted.
- first classThe receipt is signed by the identity that acted, through Wocha.
- The charge lands
- connected todaySpend is reserved and settled in Q's own ledger.
- first classThe charge lands on the same invoice, through Vellon.
- The mandate is revocable
- connected todayA mandate is revoked in Q.
- first classRevoked in the system of record as well, not only in Q.

what comes next
In this order.
Elementary can make its systems first class because it built both sides. The work is set out in the brief and runs in this order, after the first department runs on Q.
- Route Royal
- action-version binding enforced in Route Royal
- Vellon
- live billing, with the charge on the customer's invoice
- Wocha
- receipts signed by the identity that acted
- the journal
- already hashes every record · the cryptography comes from InTouch
the published ledger
Elementary runs on Q.
When the first department runs, its ledger is published here, anonymised, on a cadence: runs this period, how many waited for a person, what they cost. Until then the columns are empty, and the page says so.
