SKANDA DATA // ONS DATA TERMINAL
↳ Self-hosted system of record
Keep the record,
not just the task.

Kept
Most tools hold the task. This one holds the record. On your hardware.
RECORD AREA // PEOPLE/0.1
ProfilesPeople records, sections and sources
Contact, identity, background, legal, medical where relevant, financials, digital presence and the relationships that connect the person to everything else.
RECORD AREA // WORK/0.2
Matters and investigationsOne record model for both
Participants, documents, chronology, drafts, notes, tasks, expenses and a full change history. Neither is a folder with attachments.
RECORD AREA // ASSETS/0.3
Holdings and insuranceOwnership, positions and cover
Assets, holdings and insurance policies held against the profile or organisation that owns them, with values converted into one base currency.
RECORD AREA // ONTOLOGY/0.4
Relationship graphThe links already in the record
Expand from any entity to its immediate neighbours, then one more level, with link types and filters. Nothing is inferred by a model.
↳ Holdings
If it matters, it can be held.
Ports, vessels, buildings, aircraft, positions and policies all sit against the same profile or organisation, with one base currency and the documents that support them.
↳ System architecture
The record stays on your host.
The browser talks to the ONS server on your network. The server writes to PostgreSQL and a file directory you choose. There is no hosted copy, no external query path and no model in the middle.

Browser
Users sign in to the server from the browser. Roles decide what they can see and change.
Application
ONS server
A release binary serves the interface and API from the same origin, bound to loopback, LAN or a private address.
Storage
PostgreSQL + files
The record lives in a PostgreSQL volume. Uploaded documents stay in a local directory you nominate.

↳ Use
Built for work that cannot be reconstructed later.
The same register serves a private office, a family office, a professional team or an investigation. The record model stays the same.
USE // FAMILY OFFICE
Structures, holdings and the record behind them
Map ownership across entities and jurisdictions, track positions and insurance, and keep the supporting documents attached to the record.
Ownership · Assets
USE // PROFESSIONAL TEAM
Matters that outlast the engagement
Participants, chronology, drafts, tasks and expenses stay with the matter. The file still makes sense after the team changes.
Matters · Evidence
USE // INVESTIGATIONS
Connections that are already known
Enter the links yourself, expand the graph two levels at a time, and keep the source and the date beside every fact.
