Surface
A surface is a scoped boundary inside your workshop - the execution boundary where warm queries run and your team's AI connects. The workshop is the whole picture; a surface is one specific job.
When you connect data to a surface, it becomes an isolated context: queries inside see all the data wired to that surface, and nothing else. One connection can feed many surfaces, and a surface can take many connections.
Use one surface per area, team, or use case - dashboards, alerts, a product's metrics - to keep related work together and access easy to scope.
