Reference
Reference articles are looked up, not read front to back. Each article defines a bounded domain — what a term means, how a document genre is structured, what industry standards apply to a specific workflow. When an article in another category introduces a term or cites a standard, the canonical definition or context is in this category.
Editorial philosophy and standards
The principles and voice guidelines that govern all content on this wiki. The full contributor style guide covering TOPIC, GUIDE, and every other document genre is maintained as internal editorial reference alongside this wiki's source and is not itself a wiki article.
- Editorial philosophy — The editorial principles behind PointSav's documentation: institutional register, the front-loaded four-paragraph lede, and the CFO sentence test.
- Editorial language registers — The four language-register families (PROSE, COMMS, LEGAL, TRANSLATE) and how they route editorial work through the platform's adapter taxonomy.
- Structural positioning — How the platform positions itself without naming competitors; the rules that govern comparative statements.
- News release typography and layout standards — Standards for news releases and BCSC-compliant continuous-disclosure communications.
