Entities answer the question what exists? A CSV client list becomes a set of client entities rather than an uploaded file, so AI and people can work with each record directly, and access can be decided field by field.
Entity
A structured record of something an organisation works with, such as a client, project, matter, service, contact or decision, with defined fields and relationships.
Example
ABC Limited is a client entity with a company number, year end, responsible manager and status, related to its contacts, its documents and its open requests.
