PointSav — company overview and three-organisation structure
TopicFrom the PointSav Documentation
PointSav Digital Systems is a technology vendor that builds sovereign, on-premise-capable operating systems for record-keeping and business administration. It sits within a three-organisation structure established by Woodfine Capital Projects Inc.
PointSav Digital Systems is a technology vendor that builds and licenses sovereign, on-premise-capable operating systems and services for record-keeping, business administration, and cyberphysical-system integration. The company exists to engineer the substrate that runs its parent group's real-estate operations, then licenses that substrate to similarly-structured institutional customers. PointSav sits inside a three-organisation governance topology established by Woodfine Capital Projects Inc., a real-estate firm focused on procurement, development, and management of real property. This article covers the three-organisation structure, the structural advantages it produces, and the licensing and contributor model.
[edit]The three-organisation structure
| Organisation | Role | Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| Woodfine Capital Projects Inc. | 100% parent | Real-estate firm; owns both subsidiaries outright |
| PointSav Digital Systems | Vendor | IP holder; designs and builds the technology platform |
| Woodfine Management Corp. | Customer | First and reference customer; operates real-property assets |
The relationship flow is strictly one-directional: the vendor builds, the customer adopts, deployments run. There are no reverse writes — the customer never edits vendor source, and the vendor never manages customer records.
[edit]Why this structure matters
Three structural advantages emerge from the separation:
Clean IP custody. PointSav holds the intellectual property. Woodfine Management Corp. licenses the product like any other customer. There is no commingling of corporate records and source code.
Reference deployment. Because Woodfine Management Corp. is a real operator — not a test environment — every product feature must survive contact with actual business operations before it can be sold elsewhere. The reference customer is the quality gate.
Investor clarity. The vendor (PointSav) is the asset that scales. The customer (Woodfine Management Corp.) is the asset that operates. Each can be measured, audited, and valued on its own terms.
[edit]Licensing model
The product strategy follows an open-core pattern. The core operating systems (`os-totebox`, `os-console`, `os-workplace`) are intended for release under Apache 2.0 with a planned Sovereign Addendum ensuring that running instances remain freely transferable by the operator regardless of where they are hosted. The fleet-aggregator product (`os-orchestration`) is intended to remain proprietary as the commercial revenue driver.
PointSav intends to partner with the Sovereign Data Foundation to oversee the integrity of the open-source components. Terms and structure of any such arrangement are planned and subject to finalisation.
[edit]Contributor model
Engineering work flows through staging-tier contributor identities — established contributors who are Woodfine Management Corp. employees pushing to their own GitHub forks. The vendor administration function accepts contributions via squash-merge — the moment the intellectual property formally transfers from contributor to vendor. The customer organisation pulls release tags from the vendor. A double-blind air-gap applies: contributors never push directly to customer repositories; the customer organisation never has visibility into contributor forks. See the five-stage supply chain.
