About this template

An intranet is where information goes to die: the notice board is stale, the policy is three versions old, and nobody knows which one applies to them. Atrium answers that in the information design rather than in the copy. Two ideas carry the product. **Addressed to you**: a notice, a policy and an event each carry an audience — everyone, or a department, or a site, or an employment type — and a person only ever sees the ones that include them. The same portal shows a different wall to a Berlin part-timer and a Manchester production manager, and that is the point. **Waiting on you**: a policy version not yet acknowledged, a time-off request awaiting your approval, a ticket still open — all collected in one band at the top of the home screen, in a signal colour used nowhere else. When nothing is owed the band says so in one line. There is never a row of big zeroes. The handbook is versioned and signed. A policy carries a version and an effective date; publishing a new version returns it to everyone's waiting band, and the administration warns how many people it is about to ask again. An acknowledgement records which version was signed and when — never a boolean. Ask the handbook is one AI assistant, and it inherits the same rule: it is given only the policies whose audience includes the person asking, so it cannot quote a rule at someone it does not cover. The composed instruction is shown in full before the run, character count and all, and every layer of it is editable in the administration. When nothing in scope answers the question it says so and names who to ask, instead of inventing a rule.
