+# RESQ Organization Profile README Design
+
+## Goal
+
+Replace the flat organization profile with a current, developer-first launchpad. A reader should understand what RESQ builds, enter the reproducible development environment, inspect the live system, and find the relevant repository without working through a product pitch.
+
+## Audience And Primary Action
+
+The primary audience is developers and contributors. The primary call to action is the full onboarding installer at `get.resq.software`; live visualization, documentation, and research are adjacent secondary actions.
+
+## Information Hierarchy
+
+The README will use this order:
+
+1. RESQ identity and a concise, supportable platform position.
+2. Developer actions: Get Started, Live Viz, Docs, and Research.
+3. The current one-command onboarding flow and its delivery guarantees.
+4. The four live surfaces: Research, Viz, Docs, and Design.
+5. A compact platform map connecting packages, SDKs, coordination infrastructure, simulation, and the operator view.
+6. The public repository catalog, grouped by role.
+7. Contribution guidance, organization standards, contact, and license.
+
+## Visual Treatment
+
+- Use GitHub-native Markdown with restrained HTML where it improves alignment.
+- Center the existing RESQ mark and title without using the outdated 21 MB banner.
+- Use flat-square badges for primary destinations and the license.
+- Use one compact Mermaid diagram as the visual manual.
+- Present Research, Viz, Docs, and Design in a four-column surface strip.
+- Group repositories under Experience, SDKs, Runtime, and Foundation rather than presenting one flat language list.
+- Keep headings short and avoid emoji-heavy presentation, nested cards, generated artwork, and pitch-deck sections.
+
+The result must remain legible in GitHub light and dark themes and must not depend on custom CSS or JavaScript.
+
+## Content Contract
+
+Repository names and descriptions will be based on the current public GitHub organization state. Include the ten public, non-archived, non-fork product and tooling repositories. Exclude the `.github` meta-repository and the `ardupilot` fork.
+
+The installer section will describe the current `dev` behavior: GitHub authentication, Nix-based reproducible tooling, repository selection, CLI and hook setup, immutable version routes, and pinned, hash-verified delivery. It must distinguish integrity checks from independent proof of origin.
+
+Product copy must remain concise and supportable from public repositories and live RESQ surfaces. Investor claims and unsupported performance, compliance, or security claims do not belong in the organization profile.
+
+## Repository Groups
+
+- **Experience:** `viz`, `npm`, `docs`
+- **SDKs:** `dotnet-sdk`, `pypi`
+- **Runtime:** `crates`, `programs`
+- **Foundation:** `dotnet`, `vcpkg`, `dev`
+
+## Verification
+
+- Confirm every linked RESQ URL responds successfully.
+- Re-query public GitHub repositories and verify each eligible repository appears exactly once.
+- Validate Markdown structure and embedded HTML balance.
+- Validate the Mermaid diagram syntax where local tooling permits.
+- Review rendered content for stale names, installer behavior, and unsupported claims.
+- Inspect the final diff to ensure unrelated workspace changes are untouched.

----
+## Start building
-ResQ is a mission-critical autonomous platform for decentralized coordination in disaster response and emergency logistics — designed to operate when traditional networks fail.
+Bootstrap a reproducible RESQ development environment:
-## Ecosystem
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://get.resq.software | sh
+```
-| Repository | What it is | Language |
-|-----------|-----------|----------|
-| [npm](https://github.com/resq-software/npm) | React component library (shadcn/ui + Radix + Tailwind v4) | TypeScript |
-| [crates](https://github.com/resq-software/crates) | Rust CLI/TUI toolset for drone ops (ships the `resq` binary) | Rust |
-| [pypi](https://github.com/resq-software/pypi) | FastMCP server + DSA utilities | Python |
-| [dotnet-sdk](https://github.com/resq-software/dotnet-sdk) | .NET typed clients + blockchain anchoring | C# |
-| [programs](https://github.com/resq-software/programs) | Solana Anchor on-chain programs | Rust |
-| [vcpkg](https://github.com/resq-software/vcpkg) | C++ vcpkg libraries | C++ |
-| [viz](https://github.com/resq-software/viz) | .NET visualization library | C# |
-| [docs](https://github.com/resq-software/docs) | Documentation (Mintlify) | MDX |
-| [dev](https://github.com/resq-software/dev) | One-command developer setup + canonical git hooks | Shell |
+The onboarding flow authenticates with GitHub, installs a pinned Nix toolchain, lets you choose a repository, enters its development environment, and configures the `resq` CLI and canonical git hooks.
-## Get started
+`get.resq.software` serves pinned, SHA-256-verified artifacts and exposes immutable version routes for provisioning. Those checks protect the GitHub-to-Worker delivery path and detect corrupted downloads; they are not an independent signature or proof of origin. See [`resq-software/dev`](https://github.com/resq-software/dev) for version pinning, unattended setup, digest verification, and the complete trust model.
-Install the `resq` CLI and onboard a repo in one line:
+## Explore the system
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://get.resq.software | sh
-```
+
+
+
+ Research
+ Working papers, technical notes, and field reports on emergency-response software.
+ |
+
+ Viz
+ Live 3D common operating picture for simulated multi-agency autonomous response.
+ |
+
+ Docs
+ Operations manual, platform concepts, integration guides, and API references.
+ |
+
+ Design
+ Component library and engineering design system used across RESQ interfaces.
+ |
+
+
-This installs a SHA256-verified `resq` binary (with a `cargo install --git` fallback), optionally clones an org repo, and drops the canonical git hooks — copyright, secrets, polyglot format, audit — into it.
+## Platform map
-Prefer to read before piping to a shell:
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+ Foundation["Packages & building blocks
npm · dotnet · vcpkg"]
+ Tools["SDKs & developer tools
dotnet-sdk · pypi · crates"]
+ Trust["Decentralized coordination
programs"]
+ Operations["Simulation & operations
viz"]
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://get.resq.software -o install-resq.sh
-less install-resq.sh
-sh install-resq.sh
