====== Design Principles ======

The following are fundamental principles for the design of **Charity Radar**

Items or parts of items //in italics// are yet to be formally agreed.

  * //**Charity Radar** will only be targeting UK Charities and similar organisations//
  * The design will allow other //UK sectors// to be targetted in future
  * International [[names]] and [[addresses]] will be able to be stored
  * As much as possible, the product will be cost-neutral to the end user.  The grants raised and the costs saved will outweigh the cost of the product
  * There will be a series of [[modules]] which will be developed in an agreed order. Once the core modules exist, the product will be released to the world 
  * The onboarding process will be largely self-service.  It will be accompanied by help files and/or videos as necessary

The following terms will be used:

  * **Account** - an organisation that subscribes to **Charity Radar**
  * **User** - an individual who has access to the data and facilities of **Charity Radar**.  A user always belongs to one and only one Account but may have access to administer one or more Accounts
  * **Privilege** - the access rights a User has for an Account - see [[users]]
  * **Person** - the information stored about a natural person
