What Meridian is

Meridian is a shared place for a team to test what it believes. You write down a claim, collect the evidence that bears on it, and record what you concluded. Prima, Meridian's built-in agent, works on the same canvas as you.

The partsCopy Anchor Link

• Workspace. Your team's space in Meridian. Everyone in it can see every loop that is not private.
• Loop. One question your team is working on. Each loop has its own canvas, its own members and its own chats with Prima.
• Canvas. The surface inside a loop where cards are placed and connected.
• Card. Anything on the canvas: a task, a link, a file, a section, evidence, a hypothesis, an insight or a conclusion.
• Section. A named region of the canvas that groups the cards inside it.
• Hypothesis. A claim under test. Its status records the verdict: Draft, Active, Validated or Invalidated.
• Evidence. An observation you record, such as an interview note or a number.
• Conclusion. What you decided once the work reached a verdict.
• Insight. A takeaway worth sharing beyond the loop it came from.
• Prima. The built-in agent. It answers in chat, can add cards to the canvas, and points out loops that need something. It acts with your access and nothing more.
