What a buyer can test
InteractiveUse the system rather than watching a slide deck.
Operational does not mean unrestricted.
Medical narrative and fit-note references are designed for the private server boundary. The broad workforce surface receives only what it needs to coordinate work.
No paid environment required.
The buyer experience uses deterministic synthetic data. The same data model is attack-tested in disposable PostgreSQL through GitHub CI.
Recruitment is still connected.
Open the connected hiring journey to demonstrate Success Blueprint, AI interview protocol, Decision Passport, offer, checks and onboarding handoff.
Open hiring journeyFounding-pilot next step
No production approvalIf this solves a real workflow, agree the fit review.
Use a short fit review to confirm one site, approximate workforce size, the priority workflow, decision owners and success measures. Keep the review synthetic: do not send live employee or candidate data.
This starts a fit conversation only. It does not authorise production processing, credentials, deployment, paid infrastructure or live personal data.

Active, leave, probation and preboarding states are represented separately from six historic leavers.
Role-aware by default
Employee self, line-manager and People access can be constrained independently through tenant-safe RLS and server operations.
Reserved email domains only
Every generated email ends in example.invalid, preventing accidental delivery to a real person.
Leave & absenceCapacity signals inform.
Capacity signals inform.
A person still decides.
The new leave core calculates working-day usage, balance position and collisions for fixed work patterns, while refusing to make the consequential approval/decline decision itself.

OnboardingSeven starters.
Seven starters.
One visible readiness view.
The demo shows how an accepted hire becomes an owned plan without exposing payroll, identity or health information to the broad operational interface.

Uploaded evidence remains quarantined until trusted scanning passes.
Opaque upload receipts, hash/size checks, atomic registration and purge leases are already part of the tested onboarding foundation.
ProbationEvidence prepares the review.
Evidence prepares the review.
The manager owns the outcome.
Twelve synthetic colleagues are shown in probation across the workforce fixture. The example below lets a buyer try the explicit human decision gate.

Human outcome required
No silent auto-fail.
APS can prepare evidence and reminders but cannot complete the employment decision for the accountable reviewer.
Rationale travels with the decision.
The demo gate requires a human rationale and the production contract records actor, outcome, evidence references and timestamp.
