Fleet map — current state
The one-page map of how the SLW / Rivent fleet fits together. Update this in the same commit as any decision that changes it. Last verified 2026-08-04.
The portfolio model — Understand / Act / Say
- Understand — Ford (research & knowledge, both sides) · LP intel in LP Flow
- Act — DealFlow (companies & VCs) · LP Flow (LPs)
- Say — Quill (voice, docs, writing — deliberately spans both sides)
The rooms (user-facing apps)
| Room | Job | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ford | Research engine room — ingestion, breakdowns, dossiers, sector pages | Doors: ford@rivent.dev · upload · machine drop |
| Terminal | The daily flow — news, newsletters, digests | Sole news collector; publishes durable residue to Ford |
| Podcast1 | Podcast intelligence | Standalone processing; publishes briefs/facts/mentions to Ford |
| DealFlow | The companies & VCs book | Registry badges live |
| LP Flow | The LPs & investors book | Registry badges live |
| Quill | The writing workbench — our voice, our documents, receipts | ex-Hub |
| Slide Library | Our own reusable deck slides | Separate from Ford's key-slide exhibits |
| TaskFlow | Shawn's personal workflow app | Donor of the engine core; never the center |
The internal tools (not rooms)
| Tool | Job |
|---|---|
| Webster | Entity spine — links every app's people/firm records to one entity; links, never merges |
| Dewey | Document substrate — one ingest, one embedding space, one search API (Ford · Quill · Slide Library) |

Full annotated version: the intelligence-flow initiative and its one-page diagram.
Fleet rules (the ones that bind every app)
- Every fact carries its source + as-of date — enforced at the database level in Ford.
- Derived flags (staleness, deltas, evidence level) are computed by code, never asserted by a model.
- Entities resolve against Webster — link, never duplicate.
- Propose-then-approve for anything that writes into a CRM book; confidence + amber dot instead of gates for filings.
- Every artifact carries a visibility level (public-research · internal · confidential-portco · confidential-diligence); confidential material is excluded from Quill outputs and general search by construction.
- Code ships branch → PR → green CI in every app repo; DB/schema and deploy config route to Shawn via CODEOWNERS.
