Two-tier multi-tenancy

Two-tier multi-tenancy is the account model that lets a holding company, group or franchise run several studios on Kewbed without collapsing them into a single workspace. The top tier is the parent organization, which owns one or more tenants. Each tenant carries its own users, projects, allocations and resource hierarchy with permissions enforced at the tenant boundary. The parent layer adds a rollup that sums capacity, demand and gap across every owned tenant for executive reporting, while leaving the underlying tenants untouched.

The model exists because most planning tools assume one organization per account, which forces multi-studio groups to either consolidate everything into a single noisy workspace or maintain N separate accounts with no way to compare across them. Two-tier solves both ends of that tradeoff. Tenants stay clean and isolated for the people running them day to day. The parent gets a contiguous executive horizon across the group. By contrast, BigTime is single-org, so groups that need cross-studio rollup have to assemble it outside the platform.
