Note
A lightweight idea or observation captured anywhere in a study — from a raw observation to a worked-out solution idea.
Why it matters: The lowest-friction way to keep a signal you can later test in a council or turn into a prototype.
What it holds
title+text— the idea or observationkind— alwaysnote(the former “concept” is merged in)data— optional structured:lens,artifact_kind,prototype_idscreated_at— its point on the study timeline
Data shape
A real, trimmed record (stored as JSON):
{
"id": "note_8e…", "title": "Personas dread Monday triage",
"text": "Idea: auto-carry unfinished tasks into the new week.",
"kind": "note",
"data": { "lens": "solution", "artifact_kind": "prototype", "prototype_ids": ["proto_5d…"] },
"created_at": "2026-04-11T…"
}What it's made of
A lightweight Node in the project graph. Once built, data.prototype_ids points at its prototype.
