Core concepts
Projects
Section titled “Projects”Projects provide a shared boundary for related work. They keep the runs, context, and results for one operational purpose together.
Playbooks
Section titled “Playbooks”A playbook is a repeatable process. It gives a team a common way to express work without forcing every workflow into the same shape.
A run is one execution of a playbook. Manta records its current state, when it started, how long it took, and the result it produced.
Runs move through states as work progresses. The exact state comes from the execution system so the product can preserve the most useful operational detail.
Results
Section titled “Results”Results are the durable output of a run. They are where the work becomes useful to the people making decisions, reviewing outcomes, or starting the next operation.
