Relationally Complete

Foreign keys model the real-world hierarchy of portfolio, space, asset, work, and people.

Operator-Friendly

Reportable directly from BI tools and natural-language assistants without modeling overhead.

Vendor-Neutral License

Adopt, extend, and govern the schema independently of any single vendor.
