An operating system for Nordic Pirates — built to ship six titles across five markets without three competing taxonomies, two fulfillment folders, and one CCO who no longer exists.
These hold whether you're filing a print run, naming a Slack channel, or onboarding the next crew member. They are the constitution of the operating system.
Every folder, every database, every channel rolls up to one of these. Titles are rows inside Product. Regions are columns inside Supply, Sales, Compliance. Nothing floats.
Drive carries the files, Notion carries the state, Slack carries the flow. Same six buckets, three different surface conventions — but the same shape.
Click to expand. Drive sprawls across 27 sibling folders inside Lying Pirates. Notion runs two parallel hubs that don't agree. Slack is heaviest on Marketing and lightest on Finance — the opposite of where revenue actually happens.
Notion first because state defines the world. Drive next because files follow state. Slack last because flow follows structure. Then lock it, document it, onboard.
Your 6-bucket draft was 80% there. These are the moves I'd defend at the board table — small renames, one promotion, one demotion, and a hard line on regions never being a bucket.
