Applications
Applications sit above the three-ring service layer. They consume deterministic data and optional AI output from the rings and present it through a defined interface. An application holds no canonical data — it is a view over the service layer, and can be re-provisioned without data loss by pointing a fresh instance at the immutable data underneath. The articles in this category cover both the named applications themselves and the design-intent material that explains how each surface is composed.
Each application here corresponds to an app-* directory in the monorepo and inherits the Three-ring architecture separation; none holds the authoritative record. Reader-facing chrome and design rationale articles are gathered alongside the application articles so that operators evaluating a surface can move from the engineering article to the design intent without leaving the category.
Knowledge and editorial applications
The wiki engine, the marketing surface, and the design-intent articles that describe their reader-facing chrome.
- MediaKit knowledge application — The single-binary Rust wiki engine that renders PointSav's engineering documentation; a view over a Markdown tree where the git commits are canonical and every running binary is throwaway derived state.
- app-mediakit-marketing — agent-authored marketing landing server — Multi-tenant marketing landing pages from a single statically-compiled Rust binary; WordPress.org muscle memory at the operator-facing URL, sovereign infrastructure underneath.
- Knowledge wiki home page — design intent — How the documentation home page inherits Wikipedia's structural conventions and extends them for engineering and financial-community readers.
- Wikipedia leapfrog design — muscle memory and 5% headroom — What the wiki engine inherits from Wikipedia, what it adds beyond it, and what the five-percent leapfrog headroom means for readers and engineers.
- documentation.pointsav.com goes live — 2026-04-27 — The April 2026 TLS launch of
documentation.pointsav.com: serving stack, placeholder posture, and verification commands.
Location intelligence applications
The GIS analytics engine, the platform article that frames it alongside the rendering layer, and the user-experience design intent.
- GIS orchestration application — The stateless spatial analytics engine for linear-geometry calculations and co-location ranking; a pure function that holds no canonical data and can be re-provisioned by pointing a fresh instance at the data layer.
- Location intelligence platform — The full location intelligence platform:
app-orchestration-gis(analytics) paired with the rendering engine; every dataset, algorithm, and rendering decision under customer control. - Location intelligence UX design philosophy — The Conclusion-First design philosophy: ranked tier conclusions rather than individual data points, so users see the most defensible commercial nodes at national zoom before drilling into individual operators.
Input and developer surfaces
The structured-input gate that admits external files to a Totebox, and the browser workbench for working with archive files outside a terminal.
- Console input application — The F12 surface in os-console: the structured input gate through which raw external files enter a Totebox before being sealed into the verified ledger.
- Browser developer workbench — A browser-based three-column file editor included in os-privategit; for working with archive files without a terminal session.
Domain applications
Surfaces dedicated to a specific operational domain — Building Information Modelling and real-property workflows.
- BIM and real property surfaces — How PointSav treats Building Information Modelling as a first-class operational domain, with dedicated design-system tooling and ISO 19650 record-keeping discipline.
- building-design-system-bim — Design-system tooling adapted for BIM and real-property workflows.
- Flat-file BIM leapfrog — How Building Information Modelling is handled as flat-file ISO 19650 records rather than hosted database instances.
- AEC interface conventions — Interface conventions for AEC surfaces that BIM applications inherit and extend.
- property-manager-bim-gap — The gap between BIM authoring tools and property-manager workflows, and how the application surfaces close it.
