SYSTEAD Private pre-alpha

Systead Programs

Start with the pressure you already have.

A Program is specialist depth inside a durable House. Publishing, Shared Home, and Property Steward are the first focus. Each understands its domain without creating another account, another isolated memory, or another place the operator can become trapped.

Programs are replaceable.The House remains.

Publishing House

The whole operational life of books.

Publishing does not end at the manuscript file. A book accumulates versions, evidence, decisions, contributors, editions, metadata, production assets, rights, release obligations, corrections, and a public life.

Profile

Publishing House

Catalogue-first operation for independent presses and small publishers.

Profile

Author Studio

Manuscript, canon, research, revision, and creative continuity.

Profile

Author-Publisher

The complete hybrid configuration proven inside Stokknes House.

01Catalogue Desk

Works, series, editions, identifiers, metadata, and standing.

02Editorial Desk

Manuscripts, structure, questions, decisions, proofs, and approvals.

03Canon Desk

Characters, locations, timelines, rules, claims, and contradictions.

04Production Desk

Formats, covers, interiors, vendors, costs, files, and readiness.

05Rights Desk

Ownership, contributors, languages, territories, licences, and obligations.

06Release Desk

Packages, storefronts, dates, launch work, corrections, and verification.

Pre-alpha 01 proves

Catalogue, current project state, production, release, decisions, file standing, return brief, and export.

Pre-alpha 01 does not pretend

Full accounting, automated royalties, silent distributor writes, or every private v10 experiment is ready.

Shared Home

A household should not run on whoever remembers everything.

A home carries people, money, agreements, services, repairs, documents, possessions, access, recurring obligations, and evidence. Co-renters and renters also need a fair account of what happened and who is waiting on whom.

What it helps with Ordinary moments that become stressful when the history is missing.
Co-rent

Shared costs without shared confusion.

Record the agreed split, what was paid, the receipt, and what remains—without becoming a payment processor.

Repairs

One evidence trail from fault to fix.

Keep photographs, dates, messages, appointments, costs, responsibility, and resolution together.

Moving

A clean handover instead of archaeology.

Carry condition, keys, deposits, ownership, services, agreements, and open issues into move-out or the next resident.

Daily home

Responsibility that does not live in one head.

See recurring upkeep, warranties, providers, important documents, shared items, and who owns the next step.

Profile

Solo Home

Practical continuity for one resident without turning home into a company.

Profile

Family

Shared responsibility, services, maintenance, assets, and decisions.

Profile

Shared Household

Co-rent, agreements, balances, maintenance evidence, and clean exit.

Profile

Renter

Tenancy, condition, deposit, landlord communication, services, and move history.

01Home Desk

Dwelling, rooms, tenancy, condition, access, contacts, and move state.

02People Desk

Residents, roles, boundaries, emergency contacts, and responsibility.

03Shared Ledger

Expenses, agreed splits, deposits, reimbursements, balances, and evidence.

04Maintenance Desk

Faults, photographs, communication, visits, repairs, and resolution history.

05Services Desk

Utilities, providers, contracts, account references, renewals, and standing.

06Inventory Desk

Ownership, shared items, receipts, warranties, condition, and exit state.

Pre-alpha 02 proves

Profiles can tune one resident-side Program for a household without forking the underlying House model.

Pre-alpha 02 avoids

Payment processing, legal authority, surveillance, smart-home control, and landlord-side property management.

Two sides of a property

Shared records.
Separate authority.

Residents and owners may care about the same building, fault, photograph, document, or handover. That does not make their interests, permissions, or private records identical.

Program 02 · working name Hearth

Shared Home

Resident-side continuity for solo homes, families, co-renters, and renters.

  • Agreements and shared costs
  • Condition and maintenance evidence
  • Services, inventory, and handover
Program 03 · working name Keystone

Property Steward

Third focus Program: owner-side continuity for owner-occupiers and small rental operators.

  • Property and tenancy standing
  • Maintenance, vendors, and costs
  • Documents, inspections, and obligations
Shared modules Property Record · Maintenance & Evidence · Inventory & Condition · Documents · Handover

A record crosses between Programs only through an explicit link, permission, and visible history.

The least-stressful route

Build the foundation once. Stagger the Programs.

00
Prove the House loop privately.

Return, capture, review, export, backup, and recovery must work before either Program carries commercial pressure.

01
Take Publishing through the first paid candidate.

It is closest to the existing Stokknes proving line, real catalogue work, and a buyer with a clear operational problem.

02
Bring Shared Home through the same foundation.

Start narrow with renter, co-rent, and household continuity. Reuse Core instead of opening a second giant build.

03
Prove Property Steward as the owner-side sibling.

Reuse the property, condition, maintenance, evidence, and handover spine while keeping resident and owner authority deliberately separate.

→
Sell only the supportable build.

One-time purchase, honest scope, readable exit. No rushed integrations and no service business hiding inside the product.

The Program contract

Specialist vocabulary. Shared truth.

RecordsPrograms add domain records. Core retains shared people, files, decisions, obligations, assets, and history.
ProfilesA profile changes the starting configuration—not the underlying truth or exit format.
AuthorityA Program may propose and stage. It cannot bypass permissions, review, audit, or recovery.
RemovalUninstalling a Program cannot silently erase the House or make shared records unreadable.
ExitEvery Program declares how its records, files, and history leave with the operator.

Working Program shelf

More Houses worth remembering.

Every card names both the domain and its current working name. Chronicle and Sanctuary are serious unscheduled directions; the rest remain wilder architecture probes. None is a public commitment.
