Outputs

Vexal: Modular digital business platform and AI Visibility Platform built on machine-understanding infrastructure. Site: vexalai.com.
Module: Self-contained business capability (Intake, Media, Portfolio, Comm Dock, Scheduler, SmartBlocks, …). May be installed as a WordPress plugin package.
Application: Orchestration UX that coordinates modules and services (Hub, Workspace, Index).
Platform Service: Shared infrastructure (authentication, tenancy, machine credentials, SearchAsist Core, health, updates)—not customer-installable as a module.
WordPress plugin package: Deployment packaging for modules/apps on WordPress (Plugins screen, ZIP, activation)—not the product name.
Vexal Experience Framework: Cross-product experience contracts (Auth, Workspace, Cards, …)—architecture shared, implementations product-owned.
Authentication Experience: Vexal owns login UI; WordPress owns credentials; product owns authorization.
Vexal Hub: Application control plane for Operator Console, customer Workspace, membership, and machine auth (also hosts some Platform Services).
Hub Workspace: Customer Application shell at /vexal-workspace/ (not Portfolio Project Workspace).
selection_required: Fail-closed Hub status when multiple accounts/sites exist; chooser UI planned.
