The same map, seen differently by every team

How groups and visibility let finance, marketing, and leadership share one map while each sees only what's theirs.

The fastest way to kill a shared source of truth is to make everyone see everything. Finance doesn't want marketing eyeballing draft numbers. Marketing doesn't need the full P&L. Leadership wants the whole picture.

Canvasm solves this the way a real organization works: one map, grouped by team, with visibility rules on top.

Groups

Every node on the map can belong to one or more groups — Marketing, Finance, Product, and so on. A campaign belongs to Marketing; revenue belongs to Finance; an activation metric might belong to both.

Visibility

On top of groups, you decide who can see what. When a value is sensitive, it stays redacted in the views that shouldn't see it — the node is still there for context, but the number is hidden.

Hiding a value is different from hiding a node. Sometimes you want a team to know a metric exists and who owns it, without seeing the number itself.

Views

The result: leadership sees everything, each team sees the parts that are theirs, and nobody's working from a different copy of the truth.
