Entity Types

The active Brando Schema entity types are document patterns grouped directly by business function.

Each entity page uses the same authoring triad:

  • Markdown body
  • YAML frontmatter
  • JSON sidecar

Each example also models the same four content layers:

  • Entities: the governed documents and related brand objects being described, such as reports, claims, disclosures, examples, evidence records, and source documents
  • Properties: structured attributes on those entities, including names, definitions, tone, colour, typography, asset URLs, usage guidance, and review workflows
  • Relationships: typed links between entities, such as hasPolicy, hasPrompt, usesVisualToken, appliesToProduct, effectiveDuring, and inheritsTokens
  • Controls: constraints and governance rules that define what is allowed, required, prohibited, reviewed, escalated, inherited, or overridden
  • References: approved examples, discouraged examples, prohibited examples, source documents, design system links, asset libraries, guidelines, evidence, audit records, and benchmark examples

Business-function groups

  • Strategy and planning: planning, market framing, and benchmark documents
  • Marketing and messaging: approved, discouraged, and prohibited examples for live messaging work
  • Claims and disclosures: governed claims and formal disclosures
  • Evidence and governance: source, audit, and evidence documents that support review and assurance

All example content is written for the same fictional brand world: ABC Example Inc.
