Strategy - What does schema-native mean?

Schema-native means the system’s logic is embedded directly in the data structure itself — not layered on top through procedural code, journals, or external workflows.

In Trade Control, this manifests as:

• Declarative logic: Categories define relationships; Cash Codes carry polarity, tax type, and jurisdiction
• Tagged transactions: Every entry declares its nature—no inference required
• Recursive traversal: Balances, tax, and profit are calculated by walking the structure
• No procedural scripts: The schema itself performs the logic
• AI-ready: Because the structure is rich with meaning, not just data

Legacy systems simulate accounting. Trade Control expresses it.
