VX Terminal: where the work actually happens.
VX Terminal is sold separately, and connects to VXCTRL when a customer has both. It is the day-to-day side: the open items in front of a team, and the scorecard they are judged on. Connected, it operates inside whatever authority VXCTRL has granted, and it can propose a fact upwards but never promote one itself.
What you are looking atTwo demos, stacked. First the same fictional company as the rest of this site, seen from the working side. Propose an item and then follow it into Approvals. Below it, VX Terminal's own live demo, embedded from demo.vxterminal.com and running on its own separate fictional company.

What goes hereWho you are signed in as. The list runs from the group chief executive at GLOBAL down to a crew member, an AI ordering agent, a kitchen robot and a manager's laptop at NODE.
Who can change itIn the product, nobody: your session is issued to you at sign-in and carries exactly what you can see and manage. The switcher exists here only so you can stand in several places and compare.
What changing it doesEverything else on this page re-scopes. The tree and its counts, the fleet, the web estate, the policy table, the approval queue and the AI grants all narrow to what this member can see, and the actions narrow to what it can do. A robot or a laptop is scoped exactly the way a person is.
Why can I see this?You are Marguerite Ashdown, and you lead Orrinvale Dining Group (GLOBAL). You see 71 of 71 modelled members: your own node and everything below it. In the sample company's full count that is 2,471 stores and 91,829 people, AI agents and machines. Nothing sits above you or beside you: this is the top of the tree. You can manage members below GLOBAL, not other members at GLOBAL, and not yourself.
VX Terminal
Sold separately · connects to VXCTRLWhere teams operate day to day. VX Terminal is sold separately; when a customer has both, it connects to VXCTRL. This pane shows what that looks like: the same Orrinvale Dining Group you are running on the other tabs, seen from the working side. Nothing here can promote itself: an open item becomes of-record only by being proposed to VXCTRL and passing the approval gate.

VX Terminal's own live demo
Embedded from demo.vxterminal.com. This is VX Terminal's own demo, running on its own fictional sample company, not Orrinvale Dining Group, so the brands, people and numbers in the frame will not match the pane above, and nothing you do in it reaches this page.
Frame blank, or would you rather have it to yourself? Open the full VX Terminal demo ↗ in a new tab at demo.vxterminal.com.
How does something get from here into the system of record?
In one direction, through one gate. An agent records evidence in DIN CTRL. It surfaces here as an open item, citing that record. Proposing it sends it to the VXCTRL approval gate, which re-checks the approver, requires the cited sources and derives a trust grade from them. Only then is it of-record.
The grades the gate assigns are receipted, logged and inferred, and it keeps the difference rather than flattening everything into "true". A receipted fact goes through. An inferred one needs an explicit promote-anyway, so that the decision to trust something derived is itself on the record. The gate refuses raw data dumps, and it never lets a client assert its own trust grade.
Nothing here can arrange its own authority either. Permissions only move down, through VXCTRL policy, scoped by level and by address class. That asymmetry is the whole design: evidence is gated on the way up, authority is gated on the way down, and both leave a record.
Want VX Terminal on your own operation?
You have now seen both demos: our compact pane on the company VXCTRL runs, and VX Terminal's own, on its own sample company. Neither is your business. If you would rather talk it through against the work your teams actually do, a plain email reaches a real mailbox.
Questions people ask before they commit
What is VX Terminal?
VX Terminal is where teams operate day to day. It is sold separately from VXCTRL. When a customer has both, it connects to VXCTRL: the authority it works inside is the authority VXCTRL policy has granted, and the work it surfaces is about the same org tree VXCTRL runs.
Is VX Terminal sold separately from VXCTRL?
Yes. VX Terminal is sold separately, and VXCTRL stands alone without it. When a customer has both, VX Terminal connects to VXCTRL; the VX Terminal tab in the console on this page shows what that connection looks like.
Can VX Terminal write to the system of record on its own?
No. It can propose. Evidence only moves up through approval: an open item's cited record goes to the VXCTRL approval gate, which re-checks the approver, requires those cited sources and derives a trust grade from them. Until the gate passes it, nothing is of-record.
What happens to an item with no evidence behind it?
It cannot be proposed. VXCTRL promotes cited evidence, not assertions, so an item nobody recorded anything about has nothing the gate could grade. The demo above includes one such item on purpose.
Does VX Terminal show a team everything in the company?
No. The same reach rule applies: you see your own node and everything below it, never sideways into a sibling brand. Change "view as" in the demo and the open items and the scorecard narrow with everything else.
Which company is in the embedded VX Terminal demo?
Its own. Below the VX Terminal pane on this page is VX Terminal's own live demo, embedded from demo.vxterminal.com, and it runs on a different fictional company from the Orrinvale Dining Group in the console above it. The brands, people and numbers in the frame will not match, and nothing done inside it reaches this page. Both are demos; neither is a customer.
