A term first.
If you have to explain carry over or probation tomorrow, start in the glossary. The sentence should be usable in a meeting, not only on a page.
The library
Look up the term. Then see where it lives in the product.

Themes that
run through everything we write.
Org design
Structure, reporting lines, span of control, and the questions a clear chart answers.
People data
What a connected employee record looks like, and why copies of it cause quiet damage.
Payroll and compliance
Statutory rules, multi entity payroll, and keeping every run defensible.
HARMONI AI
The optional intelligence layer: how it acts, recommends, drafts and surfaces when you switch it on.
How to read this library
Look the word up. Then see where the work lives.
A decision next.
Guides are for the week you are in: a chart, a leave policy, a first system. They teach the work, then point at the module that already does it.
The product last.
A product claim only appears where we can show the screen. If the software cannot do it, the guide does not say it can. Honesty is the whole page.
Two readers always.
Name the job. Say what changes for the buyer and for the person who will live in it. A page that only talks to procurement is a brochure, not a library.
Who is reading
Read it as the job you already have.
An HR lead
The person who has to explain the rule.
You open carry over, PILON or right to work because someone asked in a corridor. The definition should be short enough to say out loud.
A manager
The person approving the request.
You need the difference between absence and leave, and who is already off, before you tap approve. A brochure will not help you on Thursday.
A joiner
The person decoding the company.
Org chart, Day 1 checklist, mandatory learning. You should not need three logins to find who you report to and what is owed this week.
A buyer
The person choosing the stack.
You are testing whether one record can replace the spreadsheet, the folder and the second payroll file. These pages say what the software already keeps.

Is this a product brochure?
No. Guides teach the work first. The product appears once, in a labelled block, and only for something the software already does.
Where do I look up a word I have to explain tomorrow?
The glossary. Search, jump by letter, or open the section. Each term is a few honest sentences.
I already work here. Is this still for me?
Yes. Managers, joiners and payroll read the same pages as a buyer. The job is to make the week clearer, not to sell a stack.
Does HARMONI AI write these definitions?
No. The glossary is written by us. HARMONI AI is an optional add-on in the product, not the author of this library.
Your people, not a global demo
Prefer to learn
on the week you are already in?
Import the roster. A manager should see remaining leave and named cover. An employee should open My Space and recognise their own days. Payroll should see the same person the chart already holds.
Lead with intelligence.
