  Entity-relationship graph across LifeMine's two public API surfaces. Derived from the hosts' own
  type registry, taxonomy registry and per-resource JSON Schemas — every entity, field and
  cardinality below was read out of a fetched document, not modelled by hand.
surfaces:
- key: content
  base_url: https://lifeminetx.com/wp-json/wp/v2
  entities: [post, page, attachment, team, category, tag, team_categories, user, comment]
- key: careers
  base_url: https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/lifeminetx
  entities: [board, job, department, office, section]

entities:

  domain: >
    LifeMine's news stream. Categorised into press-releases (9), in-the-news (13),
    publications (1) and expedition-academy (1) — so a single collection carries corporate
    announcements, earned media, peer-reviewed science and internal thought leadership.
  key_fields: [id, date, date_gmt, modified, slug, link, title, content, excerpt, author, featured_media, categories, tags, status, type]

    The site's static structure: home (37), about (30), science (47), pipeline (49),
    culture-careers (51), news (53), blog (39), contact (271), privacy-policy (3).
  key_fields: [id, slug, link, title, content, parent, menu_order, template, status]

  custom_post_type: true
  domain: >
    The one bespoke entity on this site — a custom post type for people, not part of WordPress
    core. Carries LifeMine's leadership, founders and board as structured, machine-readable
    records rather than as HTML on a page.
  key_fields: [id, slug, link, title, content, featured_media, team_categories, status, type]
- name: team_categories
  surface: content
  rest_base: team_categories
  label: Team Categories
  taxonomy: true

  terms_observed:
  - slug: leadership
    count: 10
  - slug: founders
    count: 3
  - slug: board-of-directors
    count: 7
  note: Counts sum above 15 because a person can hold more than one term (founders also sit in leadership/board).

cross_surface_note: >
  The two surfaces do not join. There is no shared identifier between a WordPress `team` record
  and a Greenhouse `job`, and no LifeMine-side entity links them. `office` (Basel CH, Gloucester
  MA, Watertown MA) and the site's stated locations overlap semantically only.

id_conventions:
  content: Sequential WordPress integer ids; slugs are stable, human-readable and used in public URLs.
  careers: Greenhouse int64 ids (e.g. 8587930002); `internal_job_id` is a separate id from the board `id`.

cross_links:
  conventions: conventions/lifemine-conventions.yml
