The PointSav platform is a sovereign software stack for commercial real estate intelligence, fleet management, and distributed compute. This guide orients new contributors and evaluators to the platform's main surfaces and the documentation structure.

## Where to start

- **Developer Platform** — [[guide-catalog|Developer Guide Catalog]] lists practical how-to guides grouped by task.
- **Architecture** — [[ppn-small-business-compute|PPN Small-Business Compute]] and [[ppn-vm-resource-pool|PPN VM Resource Pool Architecture]] introduce the compute substrate.
- **Authorization model** — [[machine-based-auth|Machine-Based Authorization]] describes pairing-as-permission, the device-identity model used across the platform.
- **Data and GIS** — [[app-orchestration-gis|GIS Orchestration Platform]] covers the location intelligence engine.
