Contacts and Companies

Companies are folder-backed workspaces. Contacts are records for people, with explicit links to companies and optional workspace folders.

What that means in practice

• each company can own related files, notes, chats, tasks, and other artifacts
• each contact can link to companies, workspaces, and related context without pretending the person is a folder
• the views present relationship data as structured lists without turning it into free-form notes

Common scopes users see

The explorer views commonly expose:

• All
• My
• Repo

Those scopes help users switch between shared entity work and their own private or personal-ownership context.

Why this matters

If teams keep companies as workspaces and contacts as clean records, they gain:

• better search and handoff behavior
• less duplicate stakeholder tracking
• clearer ownership for related documents and conversations

Guardrails

• keep one canonical entity per real person or company
• create contact workspaces only when there is real person-specific work to store
• retire duplicates quickly
• do not fall back to free-form notes when an entity view is the correct model
