§ 03 / Tiers

The same eight principles,
three scales.

Personal, team, and app-scoped KMS share the same foundational principles. What changes between tiers is which trade-offs each one accepts.

1. 01Personal KMSOne person, asynchronous capture, generous autonomy. Optimized for compounding what you learn.→
2. 02Team KMSMany people, role-based permissions, institutional knowledge extraction, warehouse layer. Optimized for compounding what we learn.→
3. 03App-Scoped KMSBounded inside a product. Source immutability, less autonomy, manual-friendly tracking.→
