HarborOS is built on a few ideas. Grasp these and everything else in the product follows. Each links to a fuller explanation when you want it.

​
Everything is built from your contracts

The contract is the foundation. ARR, renewals, churn, expansion, your forecast — all of them are derived from your contracts, not maintained separately. That’s why the numbers always agree and every figure traces back to a contract. See Contract is the atom.

​
The screens are views, not separate tools

Compass, Renewals, Reports, Metrics — these aren’t different products with their own numbers. They’re different views, or lenses, on the same contracts. Pipeline is the one exception: it holds deals you haven’t signed yet, which become contracts when they close. See Lenses.

​
Nothing counts until you decide

HarborOS gathers your deals and contracts and does the math, but it never decides what your numbers are. A deal counts when you promote it; a contract counts when you confirm it; a renewal is shaped by the call you make on it. The judgment stays yours, which is what makes the numbers defensible. See Judgment is the gate.

Go deeper

When you’re ready, the Concepts section covers the rest: how the lifecycle is worked out, how Portolan preserves what you believed over time, and how Beacon answers questions from your real data.
