HELM + Bridge (Spec Only)

Status: Documented specifications only. Not implemented in platform code yet.

Purpose

HELM (Human Expertise Ledger Matrix) and the Bridge define how portfolio content is federated into a unified, searchable knowledge layer while preserving owner control. This spec describes how the site experience should feel and how content is organized.

UX Expectations (from Founder direction)

  • Hexagon Senate as the hub with six corridors (Halls).
  • Second Story Balcony as a transition layer between governance and analytics.
  • Observatory and BrainStorm as higher-level systems reachable from the Balcony.
  • Flip-card CSS for interactive card surfaces and corridor tiles.

Implementation Notes

  • Senate UI and Observatory page exist in the platform.
  • HELM + Bridge logic is still spec-only and must be implemented.

Dependencies

  • Connecting Node (federated content wiring)
  • Broadsheet Engine + Typographic Archetypes
  • Observatory metrics and dashboards

Next Steps

  1. Finalize HELM/Bridge data model.
  2. Wire HELM search into the platform.
  3. Implement Balcony + BrainStorm UI flow.
