# Founder Ops System Flow: Data Journey from Intake to Projection

> How Founder Ops data flows through intake, normalization, schema mapping, context assembly, projection, OODA, governance, and execution in Spine.

The System Flow in Founder Ops traces how raw data from email, calendar, documents, and dashboards becomes live, actionable executive views. Each stage is automated, governed, and observable.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Intake">
    Connectors poll or receive webhooks from Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, and board portals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Load">
    Raw payloads are ingested into Spine Fabric with source metadata and ingestion timestamps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Normalize">
    Email, event, note, and metric payloads are mapped to common shapes: decision, meeting, commitment, key\_metric.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schema Mapping">
    Fields are aligned to the unified entity model. Unknown fields trigger Discovery for schema updates.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Context Assembly">
    Related entities are joined by attendee, account, initiative, time window, and link structures.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Projection">
    The assembled context is rendered into views: Business Snapshot, Decisions Log, Meeting Prep, Board Prep.
  </Step>

  <Step title="OODA">
    Agents observe changes, orient them against rules, decide next states, and propose actions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Governance">
    Every proposed action is checked against capability policies, authorization scopes, and approval rules.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execution">
    Approved capabilities run, emitting receipts and updating source systems.
  </Step>

  <Step title="State Update">
    Spine internal state and source tools are synchronized. New events trigger the next cycle.
  </Step>
</Steps>
