The whole structure, in one section.

Q itself: the execution plane, the ledger and the approvals inbox. The workshop in the basement builds, tests and signs off the equipment every floor above uses, and does not go on the mission.

Runs, approvals, spend and the journal exist today. The one ledger across systems is in design.

Four domains of authority, one per floor: operations, finance, people, records. A department holds the mandates its roles work under and is where every receipt is filed.

Today a department is how receipts are filed and how the registry's families are grouped.

A job, with a record. The credit controller at the finance counter, the lettings coordinator in operations, the onboarding clerk in people. Each works under its department's mandates and keeps a record made of its receipts.

The first roles are being built on Elementary's own departments. None is offered yet.

Standing authority, scoped and budgeted: what a role may do, up to what amount, how many times, until when. The card clipped to the station.

Not yet built. Today every protected action asks a person, and the ask is bound to the exact action.

A run is a durable piece of work on Temporal: it survives restarts, pauses for a person, resumes where it stopped. A receipt is what it returns: department, role, evidence, approval version, spend and state, replayable from the journal.

Consumption of an approval authorises one dispatch. Delivery is at least once, and the receipt says so.

The conduits: what each department is equipped with. Yours, connected as they are. Or Elementary's, made by the same house: Route Royal, Vellon, Wocha, Black Ink and Chancery. The receipt states each system's grade.

No system is first class yet. Google Workspace and ClickUp act; the rest supply evidence.
