“it is assessed”
The censor's reckoning — scope weighed line by line, deliverable by deliverable, before a number leaves the building.

The grammar
One terminal binds the suite.
Every module is a real Latin third-person passive ending in -tur — it is done. Not a prefix bolted onto an English noun, and not a coinage: the ending is a working piece of grammar that states what the tool does to the record. Orditur lays the warp; each module below is a verb crossing it.
The lockup
Catenatur
Stem in foreground, ultima in accent. The stem carries the meaning; the accent carries the family. Never break the word with a space, hyphen or case change.
The reading
Each name is paired with a plain descriptor on first use in any interface — Catenatur · Schedule. The Latin earns recognition; the descriptor does the teaching. Drop the descriptor only once the user is inside the module.
The exception
Textor is an agent noun, not a passive. A -tur form names a process; the assistant is a someone you address by name. One exception, stated openly, is a rule — two would be a mess.

Clip rules
Every stem stands alone.
A clip is always the stem with the -tur struck off — nothing shorter. Three modules were renamed so that every stem in the suite could carry its own weight, and the list below is now complete: eleven clips, no exceptions. A clip is spoken shorthand, not a second brand — it may appear in conversation, shortcuts and tab labels, never in a wordmark, a URL, a legal line or a first mention.
Cense
May clipCensetur · Estimating
Two hard syllables. The census misread lands on the actual root, and the sensei echo reads as authority — both misreads flatter the word.
Plica
May clipPlicatur · Proposals
No English collision, clean consonants, unmistakably ours. Pronounced PLEE-ka — never PLIH-ka.
Mitti
May clipMittitur · Messaging
Short, percussive and already close to transmit. The strongest clip in the set.
Catena
May clipCatenatur · Schedule
The reason the module was renamed from Nectitur. Catena is the chain itself — catenary, concatenate — where Necti only gestured at connect.
Computa
May clipComputatur · Spreadsheet
The reason the module was renamed from Sumitur. Computa reads correctly on sight in every accent, where Sumi split between SOO-mee and soo-MEE and read Japanese out of context.
Figura
May clipFiguratur · Drawings
The reason the module was renamed from Ducitur. Figura is already an English word for a drawn shape, so the clip teaches itself — where Duci invited an unfortunate homophone.
Numera
May clipNumeratur · Reporting
Numeral, enumerate, numerate — the stem is already English and already means counting. The cleanest clip in the set.
Nota
May clipNotatur · Job register
The reason the module was renamed from Habetur. Nota carries note, notation and notary, so the clip reads as the record it names — where Habe read as nothing at all.
Pondera
May clipPonderatur · Resources
The reason the module was renamed from Pensitur. Pondera carries ponder and preponderance — weight, plainly — where Pensi said nothing on its own.
Reperi
May clipReperitur · Finder
Repertoire, repertory — the stem already carries the sense of a found and kept set. Two clean syllables, no English collision, and the act is unambiguous: find.
Geri
May clipGeritur · Planner & calendar
Hard g, as in gherkin: GHEH-ree, never Jerry or Gary. The one stem that had to be taught rather than read, kept because no planner verb with a stronger stem is available. Say it hard and it holds.

Textor
No mark is a recoloured house symbol. Each is drawn from what the verb physically does — a beam that weighs, a sheet that folds, nodes that bind, a line that is led — on one 24-grid with a shared 1.6 / 2.2 stroke rhythm so they read as a set at 16px.
Lexicon
What the names actually mean.
Every root below is a real dictionary entry — no invented etymologies. Stated plainly, so nobody has to guess at them.
- Orditur
it is begun; the warp is laid
The house, and projects.
A weaver ordits a loom: lays the warp before a single row is woven. Every job in the house starts on the same warp.
- Orditrix
she who lays the warp
Reserved. Redirects to the house.
A genuine sibling form of Orditur, not a coinage. Held so nobody else takes the grammar.
- Censetur
it is assessed
Estimating.
The root of census. Scope assessed line by line to a defensible number, not a guess dressed as one.
- Plicatur
it is folded
Proposals and documents.
To fold a sheet is to make a document of it. Priced scope folded into something that can be signed. Say PLEE-ka, never PLIH-ka. Unrelated to pleura.
- Computatur
it is reckoned up
The spreadsheet.
Com- + putare: to settle an account together. The true Latin ancestor of compute and count. Chosen over Sumitur because the stem Computa reads correctly on sight where Sumi splits between SOO-mee and soo-MEE.
- Catenatur
it is chained
The CPM scheduler.
Catena is the chain — the root behind catenary and concatenate. A critical path is literally the longest chain in the job. Chosen over Nectitur: same meaning, a stem that stands alone.
- Ponderatur
it is weighed
Resources, capacity and levelling.
Pondus is weight; ponderare is to weigh a thing in the hand — the root of ponder and preponderance. Crew and capacity weighed against demand across the portfolio. Chosen over Pensitur for the stem Pondera.
- Figuratur
it is shaped; it is given figure
Drawings and diagrams.
Figura is the shape a thing is drawn into — the root behind figure, configure and disfigure. Chosen over Ducitur because the stem Figura stands alone cleanly where Duci does not.
- Mittitur
it is sent
Messaging.
The root behind mission, missive and transmit. Threads bound to the record they discuss, not floating beside it.
- Geritur
it is carried on; it is conducted
The planner and calendar.
Res geritur — the thing is being carried out. A day as actually lived, business hours and personal hours on one surface. Calendar is not a separate module: the month grid is Geritur zoomed out.
- Notatur
it is marked down; it is entered on the record
The job register.
Notare is the root behind note, notation and notary — to set a thing down so it counts. Chosen over Habetur because the stem Nota stands alone as plain English where Habe does not.
- Numeratur
it is counted
Reporting and analytics.
Earned value, variance and portfolio health counted from the same record the work is done in.
- Textor
the weaver
The cross-functional assistant.
The one name that breaks the -tur rule, on purpose. A passive describes a process; an assistant is a someone you address. Same root as text — a text is a thing woven.
