# Processes

> Business processes as first-class objects — name, purpose, owner, and maturity stage. The anchor that signals, decisions, and documents hang from.

## What it is

One row per **business process** (e.g. *Procurement*, *Customer Reorder Outreach*). A process is the stable object other records attach to: [Company Signals](/for-agents/data-model/company-signals) and [Decisions](/for-agents/data-model/decisions) carry a `process_id`, and the process detail in the app shows its current reality (active signals), open decisions, and related documents.

The `maturity_stage` follows the company's 5S ladder: `strategy` → `sop` → `skills` → `sessions` → `system` — from "we have a direction" to "the process runs on its own".

## How it gets data

Created and maintained by people in the app, or over MCP with the dedicated process tools (`process_create`, `process_get`, `process_list`, `process_link` / `process_unlink`, `process_archive`, `process_context`). Row-write grants `insert_processes` / `update_processes` cover the generic path. No ingest endpoint.

## Fields

| Field            | Label             | Type   | Writable    | Description                                                                                         |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------ | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`           | Name              | text   | create/edit | Process name                                                                                        |
| `slug`           | Slug              | text   | create/edit | Stable handle — hidden by default                                                                   |
| `purpose`        | Purpose           | text   | create/edit | What the process is for, in one or two sentences                                                    |
| `owner_role`     | Owner Role        | text   | create/edit | Role accountable for the process                                                                    |
| `status`         | Status            | status | create/edit | `active` / `draft` / `archived` — the app lists active processes by default and hides archived ones |
| `maturity_stage` | Maturity Stage    | status | create/edit | `strategy` / `sop` / `skills` / `sessions` / `system`                                               |
| `department_id`  | Department Access | uuid   | create/edit | Department the process belongs to — hidden by default                                               |

<Note>
  Carries the system columns `id`, `tenant_id`, `workspace_id`, `created_at`, and `updated_at`. `id` is a registered (hidden) column so it can be used as a foreign key from signals and decisions.
