Core Model Concept
The Organizational Canon
A Canon is the authoritative, structured truth for an organization. Rather than scattering compliance guidelines, product capacities, and policy rules across outdated PDFs and Notion pages, MsgStack organizes them into queryable, version-locked domains that AI models can inspect programmatically.
Anatomy of the Canon Model
MsgStack parses and maps your organizational entities into a queryable data graph. Hover over any concept below to see how nodes link inside the grounding graph.
Canon Domain
A namespace or department-level bounding context (e.g. Developer Specs, HR Guidelines, SOC2 Security, GTM Messaging). Domains isolate access permissions and schema validation layouts.
Canon Entry
A singular, atomic, structured assertion (a rule, capability statement, or compliance policy) that is version-controlled, locked, and hash-verified for security.
Canon Owner (SME)
The functional lead or department SME who is authorized to draft, modify, and approve entries within their domain. Cryptographic signatures verify all mutations.
Derived Outputs
Transient outputs generated by AI (code, release notes, battlecards, support emails) grounded in the approved canon. They retrieve the active graph dynamically via MCP.
Multilateral Canon Schemas
Grounding Types by Department
Grounding requirements vary by department. MsgStack supports custom schemas mapping to specific corporate narrative needs, brand guidelines, competitive briefs, legal controls, and API specifications.
Brand & Marketing Schemas
Ground your AI models in custom schemas defined specifically for this department's governance scope.
Defines allowed brand terms, voice parameters, and banned messaging words.
{
"type": "brand_guidelines",
"voice": "Authoritative, Restrained, Monospace",
"prohibited_words": ["revolutionary", "disruptive", "cutting-edge"],
"tagline": "The authoritative truth for AI grounding."
}From raw text to version-locked facts
Ingested text documents are parsed, structured into explicit schema entries, and mapped to specific department owners.
Before — Unstructured Document
After — Governed Canon Entry
Propagation & Drift
When an authoritative spec or policy updates, downstream outputs shouldn't drift. MsgStack maps explicit dependency links (INFORMS / DEPENDS_ON) between entries.
Updating a root spec in the developer domain triggers a validation check, flagging dependent sales battlecards, client agreements, or training prompts as outdated until reviewed and re-approved by the domain owner.
Drift alerts downstream owners instantly.
Non-approved drafts are excluded from active search.
Turbovec handles retrieval with zero external calls.
Enterprise Access & Control
Decentralized Curation, Centralized Syndicate
MsgStack operates on a domain-owner paradigm. Individual department SMEs own and authorize specific canon namespaces (e.g. Legal, Product, InfoSec). When a policy is modified, the syndicate cascade coordinates updates across all dependent department layers securely.
Domain SME Curation
SMEs edit entries directly inside their assigned domain. Changes are sandboxed and must pass static compliance schemas before submission.
Graph Dependency Audit
MsgStack runs a real-time graph lookup to determine every downstream asset, persona, and template that relies on the edited fact.
Governed Approval Gate
Affected downstream department managers receive an automated drift alert. They review the changes to approve syndication.
Real-Time Syndicate
Once verified, changes propagate instantly. All MCP clients traversing the canon graph retrieve the updated facts on the next call.
