Castlewatch operating library

Knowledge base for private incident coordination.

Detailed operating references for church security teams using Castlewatch to report incidents, review submissions, manage trusted partners, maintain organization settings, and keep decisions auditable.

How to use this knowledge base

Castlewatch is designed around explicit operational state: reports are submitted, reviewers make recorded decisions, trusted partners are connected through deliberate workflows, and organization settings define who can do what. Start with the page that matches the job you are performing, then use the linked user guide for an end-to-end walkthrough.
