Workspace

A workspace is where research takes place. It owns the shared structure — categories, tag sets, metrics, report types, and workflows — that every session inside it inherits and uses.

What lives at the workspace level

Categories, frame sets, tag sets, metrics, report types, and workflow definitions are all workspace-scoped. Collections also live here, since they cross-cut sessions inside the same workspace.

Created from a playbook

When you create a workspace you pick a playbook. The playbook’s structure is deep-copied into the workspace — after that, the workspace is yours to edit. Playbook updates don’t flow back in, and your edits don’t mutate the playbook.

Why structure is shared

Comparable signals need comparable scaffolding. By fixing categories and metrics at the workspace level, every session in it produces signals that can be scored, compared, and rolled up into reports or collections without bespoke wiring.
