The PointSav platform is composed of several architectural surfaces that operate independently but share a common substrate. This article serves as a map to the detailed architecture articles.

## Compute substrate — PointSav Private Network (PPN)

The PPN is the multi-tenant VM resource pool that forms the runtime floor of the platform. It is a three-service stack (fleet controller, host agent, tenant proxy) sitting over a WireGuard mesh.

- [[ppn-vm-resource-pool|PPN VM Resource Pool Architecture]] — placement algorithm, host agent, inference broker
- [[ppn-tenant-vm-isolation|PPN Tenant VM Isolation]] — namespace isolation, bearer tokens, WORM audit

## Software distribution

Commercial software built on the platform is distributed through a signed binary pipeline with license verification at install and at runtime.

- [[software-distribution-substrate|Software Distribution Substrate]] — binary signing, Ed25519 license tokens, private Git server

## Location intelligence and GIS

The GIS orchestration platform produces commercial co-location cluster data covering the PRO, VWH, and PKS archetypes.

## OS Console and desktop surfaces

The OS Console is the terminal-based interface for platform management. Workplace-surface applications target AEC professionals.
