# Overview

> How HQ is organised and where to find what

We aim to provide few but powerful core concepts to allow for flexible data ingestion, analysis and management.
Foundation services like AI Models, a Geocoder or a Websearch tool can extend the functionality and allow for hybrid setups. From cloud to fully local on your own hardware.

<Note>Before you start: make sure your providers for the foundation services are properly installed and configured. See [App Setup](/pages/app/app-setup) for more information. </Note>

## Infospaces

Think of an infospace as a project workspace. Each one keeps your data separate from other projects and has its own database and vector index to help you find relevant content.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Assets" icon="file-lines" href="/pages/app/assets">
    Your data. PDFs, CSVs, articles, web feeds - anything you want to analyse. Composable: a document breaks into pages, a spreadsheet into rows. Bundles group assets for organisation and batch analysis.

## Analysis

This is where it all comes together. With the building blocks above you are set to work through your data by configuring an analysis.

    What questions do you want to answer? What data do you have?
    Also set up parametrs like parallelisation and if you want justifications for fields.
