Shared Terminology

Behavioral Software

Software designed to respond to real human behavior and reduce friction, not simply expose more features.

Mavaro Systems Behavioral OS™

The shared operating philosophy behind every Mavaro Systems product.

Preferred public naming:

  • First reference: Mavaro Systems Behavioral OS™
  • Acceptable shorthand after first reference: MVS BOS

Avoid introducing it publicly as a generic "behavioral operating system" when the branded name is intended.

Friction

Anything that slows, confuses, overloads, or blocks useful progress.

Calm UX

An approach to software that reduces noise and unnecessary demand on the user.

Human Ownership

The principle that software should assist users without taking authority away from them.
