Legal identity
The person or entity that owns the business records remains distinct from the activities inside the business.
Business activities
An activity can organise the work without becoming the legal identity.
TRENIC's product model keeps legal entity, accounting book and business activity as separate concepts so activity context can help reporting without rewriting who owns the records.
Structure
One owner of the records. More than one activity context.
The activity describes where work belongs. It does not become a separate legal entity or a hidden second accounting book.
Legal / accounting rootSole trader record set
Design services
Client design work and the records related to that activity.
Consulting
Consulting work remains identifiable without becoming a second legal identity.
Why the separation matters
Useful reporting needs structure without inventing new ownership.
Accounting book
The accounting record set remains rooted to the legal entity rather than splitting silently every time a new activity is created.
Activity context
An income or expense record can carry activity context where that helps explain which part of the business it relates to.
Reporting context
Activity-level views can be useful, but they do not replace the legal or accounting identity of the whole business.

Current focus
