# Key Concepts

> Projects, documents, people, entities, and other building blocks of Sputnik

Sputnik organizes your legal work into a clear hierarchy. Here's how everything fits together.

## Organizations

An **organization** is your team. It holds your projects and manages who has access. You can belong to multiple organizations, and each organization can have multiple members.

Organization owners have full access to everything. Members can be granted access to specific projects.

## Projects

A **project** is your workspace for a single case or matter. Everything else -- documents, people, entities, timeline events -- lives inside a project.

You can archive projects you're no longer actively working on.

## Documents

**Documents** are the files you upload to a project. Court filings, contracts, evidence, correspondence, emails -- anything relevant to your case.

When you upload a document, Sputnik automatically extracts a title, summary, date, and identifies the people, organizations, and key events mentioned in it. You can also search across all documents in a project.

## People

**People** are the individuals connected to your case -- parties, witnesses, lawyers, experts. Sputnik identifies people automatically from your documents, and you can add them manually too.

Each person links to the documents where they appear, including their role in that document (e.g. witness, signatory).

## Legal Entities

**Legal entities** are organizations, companies, government agencies, and other non-person entities relevant to your case. Like people, they link to the documents where they appear.

Each entity can have an acronym for easy reference.

## Timeline Events

**Timeline events** are important dates in your case -- hearings, filing deadlines, contract dates, incidents. They are extracted automatically from your documents or created manually.

Events are displayed chronologically, giving you a clear view of how your case unfolded.

## Tags

**Tags** let you organize documents by topic or category. Sputnik creates tags automatically during document processing, and you can create your own.

Select a tag to see all documents grouped under it.

## Stars

**Stars** mark items as important. You can star documents, people, legal entities, and timeline events. Everyone sees all stars.

Use stars to highlight the most critical items in a large case.

## Notes

**Notes** are freeform annotations you can attach to any document, person, legal entity, timeline event, or the project itself. Both you and Claude can create notes.

Use notes to capture observations, legal theories, or anything worth remembering.

## Contexts

**Contexts** are knowledge documents that provide background information about your project. Case strategy, legal theories, key facts -- anything that helps Claude understand your case better.

You and Claude can create and update contexts at any time.

## Skills

**Skills** are instructions that tell Claude how to analyze your project. They are created and managed by Claude on your behalf. Ask Claude to create a skill when you want it to perform a specific type of analysis, like summarizing contract timelines or tracking damages.
