The "Folder" Problem

Most architects "Store" their career in a folder on their personal desktop. Portfolio_2024_NEW_v2.pdf Inside that folder are thousands of JPEGs, some DWGs, and a scattered list of project names. This is a Silo.

• It is not searchable.
• It is not linked to your peers.
• It cannot be "Queried" by a recruiter.

If your history is in a folder, it is dead.

Moving to the "Graph" Model

A "Single Source of Truth" (SSOT) is not a document; it is a Database. It is a dynamic record of everything you've ever achieved, formatted for the digital economy.

How to Build Your SSOT on Archade:

1. The "Legacy Dump": Don't just upload "The Best Work." Upload The Whole Work. Map every firm you've worked at and every project you've touched for more than 3 months.
2. The "Role Taxonomy": Use the Archade Role System. It is standardized for the industry. Stop using made-up titles. Use the ones that machines and HR departments can understand.
3. The "Relational credit": For every project, tag at least 2 other people. This "Binds" your data to the rest of the world. It proves you were there.
4. The "Verification Loop": Send the verification requests. A "Verified" node is the only "Trusted" data point in the SSOT.

The "Universal link"

Once you have your SSOT on Archade, you have a Professional API. You can "Plug it" into anywhere:

• Link it from your email signature.
• Link it from your personal website.
• Use the "Archade Export" to generate resumes.

You never have to "Update your resume" again. You just update your SSOT, and the rest of the world sees it instantly.

Summary: Build Once. Use Forever.
