Entities Index

Entities are canonical cards for external things: companies, products, tools, people, investors, and market analogs. Group by what the thing is first; use frontmatter like relationship: and page sections to express roles such as competitor, incumbent, market analog, engineering reference, or investor.

Maintenance Rule

Do not force an entity into only one strategic bucket. Keep the stable entity type in frontmatter (entity_type: company, product, person, investor) and express strategic role with relationship: plus prose: competitor, incumbent, adjacent, service-led, engineering-reference, or market-analog.
