PointSav Documentation

The engineering library for the PointSav platform — operating systems and services for regulated businesses that own their data, their AI, and their record-keeping outright. Where the monorepo holds the code, this wiki holds the reasoning: architecture, services, security, and the governance commitments that bind future development.

fix(reference): Glossary/Reference Index Topic wasn't actually rendering — same wikilink-syntax bug as self-hosting (plain Markdown links in AUTO-GENERATED membership blocks instead of [[wikilinks]]), silently falling back to the flat category list since it shipped in commit 40b0c4a. Found via Opus's design review, verified directly, fixed both EN/ES (24 links each), confirmed live via curl. Scanned all other _index.md files — no other instances of this bug found.

## What this is not
Important Information

Corporate structure. PointSav Digital Systems ("PointSav") is currently a trade name of Woodfine Capital Projects Inc. ("Woodfine"), planned to become a wholly-owned Woodfine subsidiary upon incorporation. PointSav does not itself offer, sell, or solicit any security. Any securities offering associated with Woodfine's real-property direct-hold solutions is made exclusively by Woodfine, and only by means of the applicable Private Placement Memorandum.

No investment advice. This wiki's content is provided for engineering, operational, research, and development purposes. Nothing on this wiki constitutes investment advice or a solicitation to invest in any Woodfine partnership or direct-hold solution.

Intellectual property. The PointSav name, trade name, wordmark, and marks, together with all current and future PointSav- and Totebox-branded products, services, and offerings — and the software, source code, documentation, design system, and all related materials — are proprietary to Woodfine and its affiliates, except for components identified as open source. No rights are granted except as expressly set out in a written license or agreement. The full trademark notice appears in the footer of every page on this site.

Confidentiality. Where an article describes an operational or deployment detail that is not intended for public disclosure, that article is not published on this wiki. Content here is general-purpose engineering documentation, not customer-specific configuration.

Jurisdiction. Woodfine Capital Projects Inc. is organized in British Columbia, Canada. References to the Sovereign Data Foundation on this wiki describe a planned or intended initiative only, not a current equity holder or active governance body.

Changes to this notice. PointSav may update this notice from time to time; the version posted on this page governs.

Not a filing system. This wiki is not a securities filing system, an electronic disclosure repository, or a substitute for SEDAR+ or any other regulatory filing system. Formal securities filings are made through the applicable regulatory filing system, not through this wiki.
