Ontology is the structured description of what exists in a system and how those things relate. It provides a formal model of entities, their attributes and their relationships.

Ontology in Decidr is like a family tree for knowledge. It is how we keep track of what belongs where, what connects to what and what meaning each element carries.

Most organisations live in chaos because their ontology is informal. People use different terms for the same thing. They store context in their heads. Systems don’t align. Decidr solves this by making ontology explicit. Every entity is defined, every attribute is structured and every relationship is visible.

If you know the ontology, you can't get lost. Clarity for the win! It becomes the map by which decisions are made and processes are designed. In practice, it means when a new employee logs in, they can see the same structure as the CEO. Everyone is looking at the same map of meaning. And when everyone shares the same map, the organisation moves as one. What's not to love?
