Creating organizations

After you've built your public presence and followed researchers you care about, organizations are the next step when work is shared: one bill, one balance, and team research in a dedicated workspace. This page explains why orgs exist, how to create one, and what appears on day one.

Why use organizations?

Organizations exist for two things that don't fit neatly on a personal account:

• Shared billing -- One subscription or credit pool for the team instead of reconciling individual expenses.
• Team research -- Threads and visibility scoped to the org so collaborators see the same work.

If you're solo, your personal workspace is usually enough. When multiple people need the same budget and the same research space, create an organization.

Creating an org (name and slug)

To create an organization, you provide:

• Name -- The human-readable title (e.g. "Acme Research Lab").
• Slug -- A short identifier for your organization.

Pick a slug you're comfortable using long term.

Organization overview page

After creation, you'll land on an organization overview -- your hub for membership, invites, billing, and navigation into team research. From here, owners manage the subscription and seats; members see what they're allowed to use.

What you get

Creating an organization gives you:

1. A dedicated workspace -- The org gets its own workspace for research and resources, separate from your personal workspace.
2. Shared billing -- The team draws from one credit pool, so everyone can run research without managing separate balances.
