# Palanor

> Palanor is the Enterprise Intelligence Platform — predictive scenario-based intelligence delivered as a coherent instrument for the institutional steward.

Palanor is a new product category. Most enterprise software helps people manage what is happening; Palanor helps stewards see what might happen. The instrument has five layers: Intelligence (Dashboard, Context News, Signal Watch, Scenarios, Seer Backplan, Macro View), Relationships, Research, Internal Signals, and Services (Council, Certified Predictionist, Facilitated Workshops, Facilitated Scenarios). The agent that surfaces these reads is named **Numen**. The people Palanor is built for are called **stewards** — those who hold something entrusted to their care.

Vocabulary is locked. We don't substitute synonyms. Phrases the brand is making are set in *italic* (Fraunces); names of things are set in plain text (Inter); data is set in `monospace` (JetBrains Mono).
