Search Architecture

Executive Summary

Search Architecture defines how Algosure supports searchable projections over domain records, documents, opportunities, suppliers, compliance evidence, contracts, marketplace content, and operational knowledge.

Why This Exists

Search is essential for procurement workflows and executive workspaces, but search indexes are projections. They must not become source systems or bypass tenant, organization, security, classification, and source-domain ownership.

Owner

The owner is the Chief Product Officer and Enterprise Architect.

Business Value

Search improves productivity, discovery, compliance readiness, tender matching, supplier sourcing, document retrieval, and customer experience.
