The numbered working-paper series behind home.pointsav.com, software.pointsav.com, and design.pointsav.com
→ home.pointsav.com · → software.pointsav.com · → design.pointsav.com · → Woodfine's papers
This is the canonical, version-controlled source for PointSav Digital Systems's numbered
working-paper series (PDS-NNN, assigned sequentially and permanently — never reused, never
tied to a calendar year). Each site's own /working-papers page renders its assigned papers
from this same source — this repository, not any individual site, is the system of record.
Institutional authorship, not individual. Every paper is prepared and published by
Woodfine Management Corp. on behalf of PointSav Digital Systems. PointSav Digital Systems is
currently a trade name of Woodfine Capital Projects Inc., planned to become a wholly-owned
Woodfine subsidiary upon incorporation. No paper carries a named individual author, byline,
or contributor — the ## Contributors section in every paper reads "Prepared by Woodfine
Management Corp." and nothing else.
Working paper, permanently. Every paper here is preliminary and subject to revision by design — this is not a pre-publication staging area for a future peer-reviewed venue. A paper stays a working paper, carries a version number (not a submission target), and is revised in place rather than retracted and replaced when new evidence changes the picture.
Zero outbound links, by editorial rule. No paper in this series links to any external
site, product, or third party — including each other — anywhere in its body. Cross-references
between papers are recorded in machine-readable frontmatter (draws_from:) for tooling,
never rendered as a clickable link in the body. The ## References section at the end of
each paper is the one exception: a bibliography entry with a real URL or DOI may render as a
link there, after the argument is finished. No named-competitor comparisons — commercial
products are described generically, by category, never by name.
CC BY 4.0. Every paper may be shared and adapted for any purpose, including commercially, with attribution. See LICENSE.

Each paper is a plain Markdown file with a structured YAML frontmatter block (schema: journal-v2) — title, thesis, abstract, citations, and version metadata — followed by a
masthead disclosure notice, a thesis-led opening, two to four numbered sections argued in the
paper's own terms, and a fixed back-matter sequence: ## References, ## Contributors,
## How this paper was produced, ## Disclosures, and ## Data and reproducibility.
This repository is the source; it is not itself a rendered website. Each paper's real
rendered form lives at its assigned site's own /working-papers/<slug> page.
Nothing in this repository is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. Forward-looking statements in any paper reflect current expectations as of that paper's stated version date and are subject to change without notice.
