Handbook Glossary
These public explanations help readers understand SALARA and Guided Intelligence terminology. They are educational projections, not replacements for the architecture standards or Runtime contracts that own authority-bearing behavior.
Reference
Each term keeps a stable anchor, such as Guided Intelligence, so Handbook chapters and public references can point to the exact explanation.
Guided Intelligence is the implementation methodology for applying governed Organizational Intelligence at the moment work needs guidance.
SALARA is the platform, product, project, and conforming reference implementation for Guided Intelligence.
Organizational Understanding is the meaning, context, evidence, limits, and accountability an organization preserves so people and systems can act consistently.
Organizational Intelligence is the strategic governed intelligence asset an organization builds, governs, protects, improves, and applies across people, systems, workflows, and AI.
Intent-to-Clarity is the Guided Intelligence movement from a stated or implied organizational intent to a clear, governed basis for action.
An Assertion is the atomic governed unit of Organizational Intelligence.
A Candidate Assertion is a proposed Assertion extracted or identified from source material before governance approval.
Governance is the process that determines whether organizational knowledge is approved, rejected, clarified, superseded, or preserved with accountable evidence.
The Organizational Intelligence Compiler is the SALARA component that transforms approved Assertions into deterministic, versioned, deployable Organizational Intelligence.
Publication is the controlled step that makes compiled Organizational Intelligence available for activation.
Activation is the step that selects a published artifact for Runtime use within a defined tenant, environment, and slot.
Runtime is the SALARA layer that applies activated Organizational Intelligence to answer or guide requests.
Proof Space is the public demonstration environment where SALARA concepts and proofs are shown.
A Reference Implementation is a working implementation used to prove and explain SALARA's architecture and behavior.
The Operational Ledger is the evidence trail recording governed decisions, runtime behavior, and verification events.
