Voice and writing

Calm, precise, human, credible, owner-first, evidence-led. Write in active voice and prefer concrete statements. The customer owns distinct intelligence; u×m protects and keeps it under the owner’s control. Avoid chatbot language, AI hype, cyber language, cute consumer language, inflated claims, and unexplained technical jargon.

BEFORE / AI that knows everything.

AFTER / Owner controlled intelligence that keeps decisions attributable and usable.

BEFORE / Supercharge your team with AI.

AFTER / Make expert context available with explicit ownership and permission.

BEFORE / Your smartest AI copilot.

AFTER / Intelligence that is distinctly yours.

Product architecture

u×m core

Captures, preserves, processes, retrieves, applies, and improves distinct intelligence under owner control.

u×n by u×m / Organizational intelligence. Promise: Make every expert many. Pronounced “you-times-en.”

u×2 by u×m / Personal intelligence. Promise: Your second self. Pronounced “you-times-two.”

u×n and u×2 share one identity.

Diagram system

Diagrams make ownership, provenance, permission, and governed action legible. Every element has a named role; every connector carries a defined handoff.

EVIDENCE BLUE

Evidence and named source artifacts.

TEAL

Owner-controlled context and boundaries.

GRAPHITE

Judgment and enduring system.

IVORY

Owner and human source.

COPPER

Only transformation, permission resolution, multiplication, or governed action.

Use directed connectors, named stages, visible boundaries, source labels, and permission gates. Do not add unexplained connections.

A. Five stage semantic flow

Named stages with directed handoffs.

01 Source or evidence
02 Owner-controlled context
03 Judgment
04 Permission
05 Governed action

B. u×n capability multiplication

B. u×n capability multiplication

EXPERT EVIDENCE + JUDGMENT
Owner-controlled context
Permission and governance
Reusable capability
People · workflows · agents

C. Product architecture

u×m core — owner-controlled operating layer
Branches to u×n — make every expert many
Branches to u×2 — your second self

D. Provenance and permission pattern

SOURCE ARTIFACT / named document + metadata
Context boundary / owner-controlled scope
Judgment / accountable interpretation
Permission gate / explicit resolution
Governed output / attributable action

Document system

Word documents, presentations, reports, proposals, and one-page briefs use the same practical system: a 12-column grid for presentations, a single-column reading grid for documents, and 24 mm page margins for A4 or Letter. Page number and document status are set in IBM Plex Mono.

STATUS / WORKING REFERENCE

Evidence stays attached.

Use teal section markers, blue evidence callouts, and copper for an action or decision marker.

YOUR CONTEXT.
YOUR INTELLIGENCE.
YOUR CONTROL.
