The\nuser should not manually construct a schema, dashboard, AI prompt, or provider\nintegration to understand current work.\n\n## Differentiation\n\nIntegrateWise differs from:\n\n- a dashboard, because it preserves canonical connected work state;\n- a connector catalogue, because connections are governed inputs to the Spine;\n- an AI chat, because the Twin inherits grounded context and remains\n  non-authoritative;\n- an automation engine, because execution requires capability resolution,\n  policy, approval, Hermes, and reconciliation;\n- a memory provider, because memory is distinct from canonical truth;\n- a CRM replacement, because source systems remain authoritative for their\n  native records and outcomes.\n\n## The Four Buttons\n\n| OODA    | Product action        | Meaning             |\n| ------- | --------------------- | ------------------- |\n| Observe | Store in Spine        | Capture truth       |\n| Orient  | Ask Your Twin         | Understand the work |\n| Decide  | Assign Your Twin      | Delegate intent     |\n| Act     | Approve Twin's Action | Authorise execution |\n\nThe Twin is silent by default and surfaces only when there is material value or\nthe user explicitly invokes this grammar.\n\n## Claims discipline\n\nMarketing may describe outcomes only when the corresponding runtime path and\nevidence exist. “Supported” must distinguish catalogued, implemented, verified,\ncertified, and live. Marketplace submissions, host-to-host capability\ninheritance, deployed models, and connector counts must not be presented as live\nwithout recorded proof.\n"}
