The whole school, in one place
Add a credential file and the tracks, dashboards, categories and transcript follow. Change it and the track regenerates.

Every word is the school's
Roles and units come from the folder, and the interface uses them everywhere, help pages included.

Seven colours, a whole theme
Each school names seven seed colours; the platform derives the 38 variables of the light and dark themes, and the studio follows.
Modules switch on per school
A school without dogs has no dogs pages. A school with payments off never asks anyone to pay.

Built to be extended
- A new kind of class block is one entry in the block list plus a sample config; a conformance test fails until both exist, and the editor, validation, publishing and student view pick it up.
- A new dashboard view is one definition with a schema; schools then place it per role in their own config.
- A new look is a skin: the controls contract names every job a control does, and each skin implements it. Pages never name a colour, only a state ("done", "due", "failed").
- Something other than people on a track is the subjects module: a dog today; a horse, an aircraft or a vineyard block tomorrow, each with its own schema and due-by-age requirements.
- A new school in production is one script: it creates the school's database, applies the schema, names its first admins, then makes its site, file bucket and secrets.
Nursing and allied-health CERenewal cycles with mandated topics, plus specialty certificates with clinical hours.
