How the data fits together
The data model behind every tool and endpoint: records, references, events and the filters that reach them.
Chikara Intelligence holds three kinds of record: people, organisations and events. An event links the other two, so a move joins a person to the organisation they left or joined, and a deal joins the organisations on each side. Every record has a UUID reference, and every tool and endpoint takes or returns those references.
Start with references if you're about to write a filter. The rest can be read in any order.
