Ontology & Knowledge Systems

Definition

A specific value drawn from a controlled vocabulary (e.g., “Spanish” from the Language CV) that is reused across contexts and entities.

This is the vocabulary your business already runs on.

Decidr types an organisation the way a type system types a codebase — every goal, belief and strategy a named thing the whole system agrees about. Onboarding starts by mapping yours.
