Resources
The briefs, in full.
Fourteen pieces, as PDFs. The briefs are for sending to somebody; the walkthroughs are for learning a channel screen by screen; the assurance pack is for a security team.
The briefs
What Deronda is and who it is for. One or two pages each, written to be forwarded.
- Deronda in one pageWhat Deronda is, in sixty seconds. The four views, and the three guarantees.
- For employersWhat your account shows, what your broker owes you, and what you will never see.
- For fundsThe portfolio view, and the consent model that makes companies willing to be in it.
- For brokersThe workspace, the internal boundary between consultants and principals, and disclosure head-on.
- Your cover, your deskFor handing to employees. What is already theirs, the three checks before treatment, and how to claim.
- The commercial modelTwo flows, deliberately separate — and why the software fee does not move with your premium.
Channel walkthroughs
Every screen in a channel, what it does, and how to use it. These are generated from the product’s own navigation rather than written beside it — add a screen and the guide fails to build until it is described, so a walkthrough cannot quietly fall behind what it describes.
- The Account — a walkthroughEvery screen on the employer account, what it shows, and what it will never show.
- The Desk — a walkthroughEverything on an employee's desk, what it is for, and how to use it.
- The broker desk — a walkthroughThe book, the renewals, the requests — and the record the client reads from the other side.
- The Table — a walkthroughPortfolio oversight with consent: what you see, what you do not, and who decides.
- The Bridge — a walkthroughThe service record for clients you introduced, and the boundary around it.
- The office — a walkthroughEvery founder surface, in the order a client moves through them.
Security and assurance
For a diligence questionnaire, or for anyone who wants the findings rather than the summary.
Why these cannot drift
They are not design-tool exports. Each one is rendered from the same repository as the product, inheriting the same tokens, the same illustrations and — the part that matters — the same numbers and claims. One command regenerates the set, and every sheet carries the version and month it was produced, because collateral in the wild outlives the claims on it.
Before any of them is printed, an automated check runs over every reader-facing file for claims we have already ruled out: a market rate stated as fact, a superseded commission figure, a certification described as held when it is in progress, a client we cannot evidence. It is a lint rather than a proof — it cannot tell you a sentence is true, only that a claim we have retired has come back.
