Core Concepts

Idealoom

Constellation's institutional knowledge management layer — a structured system for capturing, connecting, and retrieving organisational knowledge.

Idealoom is Constellation's knowledge layer: the institutional memory that ensures knowledge outlives the people who hold it. It captures briefs, research, analysis, and context in a structured format that can be searched, connected, and surfaced when relevant.

Most organisations lose institutional knowledge continuously — when people leave, when projects end, when context is forgotten. Idealoom prevents this by making knowledge capture a natural part of governance workflows, not a separate documentation task.

Idealoom connects knowledge to the governance objects it relates to: a brief informs a decision, a research note supports a commitment, an analysis challenges a constraint. This creates a knowledge graph where context is always available when governance actions are taken.

How Constellation handles this

Idealoom is built into Constellation as a native layer, not a bolt-on wiki. Knowledge is captured as part of governance workflows and connected to the decisions, commitments, and constraints it informs.
