Fictional demo data. All organisations, people, contact details and figures in this demo are fictional. Company names are drawn from a trademark-cleared fictional namespace and any resemblance to real entities is unintended.

A working knowledge vault for a fictional media company — 26 departments, real documents, and 15 live dashboards you can click through. Everything here is generated from plain Markdown notes with ordinary YAML frontmatter. No database, no lock-in.

Start here

  • Dashboard — the index of every view in this vault
  • Secure sharing — how one department is shared with a contractor without handing over the whole vault
  • Document control — numbering, approval and review dates, modelled on ISO 9001 / ISO 19650

What to look at

The dashboards are the point. They are Obsidian Bases files — a core feature since Obsidian 1.9, so they need no plugins at all — and each one is a live query over the notes, not a copy of them. Add a note with the right type: and it appears; change its status: and it moves.

Worth opening: the executive board for cross-department work, the SOP health view that counts down to each procedure’s review date, and the risk register grouped by status.

How it is organised

Departments are numbered folders (10-Operations, 20-Sales, …) so the order is stable and predictable. Each note declares a type, an owner, a status and a division in its frontmatter — that is the entire contract the dashboards rely on.
