Shared-Record Surfaces
Principle
One record, many surfaces
A shared record means information is held once and read by many surfaces. Each surface remains responsible for what it publishes, how it presents it and which placements it offers.
Operational Business Record data is not copied into this site. Surfaces are referenced by public link or through an approved summary interface.
- Distinct content function per surface
- One shared Business Record read by many surfaces
- Independent publication decisions per surface
- Independent placement and prominence decisions

Regional and State Surfaces
Northland, Minnesota and Wisconsin surfaces currently demonstrate the shared-record pattern across a region and two states.

Local Family Surfaces
Each Local surface performs one content function — informed, organised, browsed, storefronts, reviewed, happenings, savings, featured, flow, promoted, advertised.

USA Family Surfaces
The same functional pattern applied at national scope, so one architecture can serve both local and national publication.
Relationship map
The complete map is published elsewhere
The full relationship map between surfaces, records and markets is maintained on the network site rather than duplicated here.
Existing marketplace properties provide an owned distribution foundation. Integration with the newer shared-record architecture is an execution milestone, not a completed assumption.
Asset and deployment classifications reflect current internal records and may change as the portfolio develops.
