Carcin · operating principle

Useful work, made visible.

One private workspace for clear recommendations, reviewable work, and results you can inspect.

Five messages.
One opportunity moves forward.

Carcin classifies the inbox, routes each message, and carries the lead into the next workflow. The noise gets a destination. The opportunity gets a next step.

Follow the work
01 / Arrival

Five messages land in the same inbox.

An email, two publication updates, a team chat, and a website inquiry arrive throughout the day. Each needs a different next step.

This batch
  • Email: Claim your prize
  • Newsletter: The weekly industry brief
  • Feed: Product news for October
  • Team chat: Can you review the schedule?
  • Website form: Can you quote our project?
02 / Understanding

Not every message is a task. One is a lead.

This batch contains one spam message, two newsletters, one internal note, and one sales inquiry.

Your rules, applied consistently

Carcin uses the sender, message, and business context to decide where each belongs. You approve the routing rules before this workflow runs.

03 / Classification

Five messages become four clear categories.

Spam. Newsletters. Internal. Lead. Each message keeps its identity as Carcin assigns its category.

The important distinction

A request for a quote is not another item in a reading queue. It belongs in the path for new business.

04 / Routing

Every message reaches its own destination.

Spam goes to its folder. Both newsletters enter the reading queue. The internal note reaches the team. The lead moves to the sales handoff.

Sorted, not lost

All five messages remain accounted for. The inbox no longer makes your team do the sorting by hand.

05 / The next workflow

Triage ends. The proposal workflow begins.

The lead leaves the triage machine with its message and context intact. Qualification comes next: understand the fit, gather missing details, then prepare a proposal.

Ready for qualification

This is the handoff, not a sent proposal. The next workflow still has work to do and decisions for your team to review.

A sorted inbox.
A lead with somewhere to go.

One workflow clears the incoming messages. The next picks up the opportunity without asking your team to start over.

The Carcin mark.

Keep the paper-airplane silhouette and three exhaust dots intact. Use the airplane alone when the name is already clear; otherwise use the full lockup.

The mark and the name

Use the full Carcin lockup when space allows. The airplane alone is for compact places where the name is already nearby or the context is unmistakable, such as a favicon, app icon, or social avatar. Keep the silhouette intact. Do not rotate it, redraw the trail, place it inside a decorative badge, or treat it as a background pattern.

On light surfaces, use the dark mark and wordmark. On dark surfaces, use a light version with enough contrast to stay clear at small sizes. Give the lockup breathing room on every side. A practical minimum is the height of the airplane mark; leave more room in a hero or editorial layout. Avoid placing the mark over a busy photograph.

The Workspace icon is a product mark, not an alternate Carcin logo. Use it only when identifying The Workspace.

One accent, useful neutrals

White is the working canvas. A quiet gray surface separates dense information without creating a parade of colored bands. Dark neutral ink carries headings and body copy. Muted gray carries secondary text; it still needs to be readable. Deep green is for the primary action and a small number of meaningful links or selected states, not every decorative detail.

01Make it visible

Use a strong surface or rule when the page needs a moment of emphasis.

02Make it legible

Pair the green with quiet canvas, readable type, and generous spacing.

03Make it useful

Every visual element should help someone choose, understand, or act.

Use the shared interface tokens rather than adding page-specific colors. Reserve status colors for real status. Product imagery may carry natural color; the surrounding interface stays quiet so the work remains legible.

Read the work first

Use one sans-serif family for the interface, marketing copy, headings, navigation, and buttons. The wordmark is its own asset; do not approximate it by typing the name in a display font. Keep headings short and specific. Reserve the largest title for a true hero, then step down clearly through page headings, section headings, body text, and quiet labels.

Page titleMake your site work harder.
Body copy

Carcin helps a small business publish, improve, and operate its site from one workspace.

Text should read comfortably at phone width without squeezing into a narrow column or colliding with nearby controls. Keep letter spacing neutral in interface text. A monospace face is useful for code, IDs, or technical examples, but it should not turn navigation and body copy into a visual theme. Prefer plain language to invented labels.

No eyebrows. No pre-headers.

Lead with the real heading. Move straight into useful language without a decorative label above it.

There is no finish line.

Maintain once. Deploy infinitely. Improve forever.

Consistent by default

The same action should look and behave the same way across the site. A primary button is filled green with white text. A secondary action is quieter and keeps its label visible. Form fields use a white surface, a clear border, a persistent label, and a visible focus state. Do not replace a text action with an unexplained icon, especially for signup or submission.

Tabs switch views; toggles change one clear setting; fields accept input. Use shared controls before introducing a new variant. Motion should explain a state change while leaving the content readable.

Show the actual product

When a page describes something a customer can do in Carcin, use an approved capture of the real interface when one is available. Label a diagram as a diagram. A conceptual flow can explain how work moves through the system, but it is not proof that a specific screen or result exists. Keep customer claims next to the result that supports them and state the limits of any reported result.

Use the airplane and the name consistently across the marketing site, the app handoff, docs, email, and social material. Keep the logo out of patterns, gradients, glows, fake security marks, and ornamental charts. These treatments compete with the work the product actually does and make simple tools feel more complicated than they are.

For a press mention, partnership page, or missing asset, use the downloadable files above and link back to the current site. Older campaign exports may still exist elsewhere in the repository; check each one against this live guide before reuse. If an asset does not match the current palette or typography, use the mark or lockup alone.

Questions about permitted use, co-branding, or a missing file can go through contact. For what Carcin does, see the platform and docs. For outcomes, see results; for plans, see pricing. The identity supports those pages, but the product and its results should always be the main event.
