Protocol Systems
ProtocolResidence
An integrated digital layer for residential security, property monitoring, access, systems, and emergency readiness.
Product vision
What it is being built to do.
A single well-secured residence is a solved problem. Several residences, each with different installers, different alarm providers, different staff, different access arrangements, and different levels of occupancy, is not.
Protocol Residence is being built as the layer above those systems: one place where every property's security posture, access arrangement, service history, and readiness state is described consistently.
Problems addressed
The conditions it is designed for.
01
Each property is secured by whoever installed it, to a different standard.
02
Access is held by too many people and revoked by too few.
03
Systems degrade quietly between service visits.
04
Nobody can say, on demand, what the current state of a given property is.
Individually competent systems, procured at different times, produce a program whose weakest link is the space between them.
Core functions
Functions in development.
These describe design intent. Nothing listed here is available to purchase today, and the list will change as the product is built.
- 01Per-property security posture and system inventory
- 02Access register covering family, staff, vendors, and temporary access
- 03Monitoring and alarm coordination across providers
- 04Service, inspection, and maintenance history
- 05Occupancy-aware readiness states
- 06Emergency procedures held per property
Ecosystem connection
How it connects.
Residence supplies the physical picture to Platform, uses Vault for property records, and escalates into Command when something requires response.
No product in the Protocol ecosystem is designed to be bought alone. Each one owns a domain and reads from a shared record of what is protected and who is accountable for it.
Bought as products
- Each system holds its own model of the environment
- Alerts arrive in separate consoles with no shared priority
- Integration is attempted after procurement
- Nobody owns the boundaries between systems
Designed as a system
- One record of what exists and who is accountable
- Signals resolved against a shared priority
- Interfaces specified before anything is bought
- Every boundary has a named owner
Intended audiences
Who it is designed around.
The environments below shaped the design. A family office coordinating several households and a distributed enterprise are different problems, and a product that pretends otherwise serves neither.
Design discipline
Protocol builds against a described environment rather than a feature list. The constraint is the same one that governs a well-made instrument: every part has a reason, and nothing is added because it demonstrates well.
Protocol Residence is in development. Protocol is talking to the people it is being built for.
