Information Architecture
Site map + IA
The full site map: a tree of the 11 clusters (0 to 11) plus per-node cards, each with its number X.Y, type, what it includes, and transitions. This is the detailed body that expands the base Concept map. States and page copy live on the individual node pages; here we lay out the whole product surface, cluster by cluster. See also the Flows.
Overview
Cluster tree
The twelve clusters and how the primary journey threads through them: public acquisition into auth, auth into the one-time onboarding wizard, the wizard into the operator home, and from the Dashboard out to Programs, Team, the Owner path, and Settings. The owner surface and the employee check-in branch off Team and the Owner path. System nodes hang off the global shell.

Tree, not menu. The arrows are cluster-level transitions inferred from the flows and the node map. Within each cluster the real nodes (X.Y) and their own transitions are the cards below. The six-intent consolidation of these clusters is the base Concept map.
