Independent
A shared operational record between provider and user.
NEUTRAL BRAND GUIDE
Every compute hour,
accounted for.
Neutral is the independent reliability layer for AI compute, connecting evidence across workloads and infrastructure to isolate likely failure domains, coordinate the next action and protect productive GPU time.
GET STARTED WITH AI
Each button copies a complete, provider-aware installation prompt. Paste it into the agent from the root of the product repository.
MIDPOINT / 01
01 / THE BRAND
Neutrality with a point of view.
Neutral sits between the organisations that provide AI compute and the teams that use it. Independent does not mean passive: the system makes evidence, ownership and the next action explicit.
Exact
Observations, inferences and actions are never collapsed together.
Operational
The interface always answers what happened and what happens next.
Accountable
Performance, ownership and service commitments remain visible.
02 / LOGO
One mark. One colour.
The midpoint symbol and the lowercase wordmark form one identity. Use black on light surfaces and white on dark or Cobalt surfaces. Never colour individual parts.
PRIMARY / LIGHT
PRIMARY / DARKCOBALT SURFACEPRODUCTION ASSETS
Copy or download the source artwork.
USE
- Keep supplied proportions and spacing.
- Use the full lockup by default.
- Use the Carbon square as the default favicon and app tile.
- Let the surrounding surface provide contrast.
NEVER
- Redraw or retype the wordmark.
- Remove the midpoint square.
- Use the Cobalt tile when a black or white treatment works.
- Add red, effects, gradients or shadows.
03 / COLOUR
Clear states. No grey areas.
Paper and Carbon are the canvases. Ink carries light-mode text, Cobalt carries action, and semantic colours describe data rather than personality.
Hover, focus or select any colour to copy its HEX, RGB, CSS token or one-line agent rule.
04 / TYPOGRAPHY
Readable at every altitude.
Instrument Sans explains. Commit Mono records. Poppins Black remains inside the supplied logo artwork and nowhere else.
Compute runs as one system.

05 / STRUCTURE
Precision, made relational.
A strict four-pixel foundation creates consistency. Purposeful grouping, shared alignment rails and adaptive density create hierarchy without decorative effects.

A complete operational kit.
Twenty-one interface patterns cover the same baseline surface area as the West Kite reference, translated into Neutral’s sharper contrast, technical typography, density rules and existing-product migration contract.
COVERAGE21 patterns
Every pattern includes its use, boundary, accessibility rule, live specimen and copy-ready markup.

07 / ICONS & MOTION
Literal forms. Purposeful motion.
Every icon has a semantic name and dedicated 16, 20 and 24 pixel exports. Geometry remains stable through rollover; motion appears only while the represented process is active.

Show the signal. Keep the context.
One dominant signal, exact units and explicit thresholds. Time-range transitions preserve continuity, and inspection is equivalent across pointer, keyboard and touch.

10 / LANGUAGE
Calm authority. Evidence first.
Neutral is independent, not vague. State the conclusion, show the evidence and name the next action without theatre or unsupported certainty.
Calm authority
Specific language carries confidence. Superlatives do not.
Evidence before certainty
Observations, inferences and actions remain visibly distinct.
Operational language
Name the object, state, owner and next action.
Precise, not cold
Describe faults and boundaries without assigning motive.
USEAVOID

CLAIM DISCIPLINE
Present capability is stated as fact. Product direction is stated as direction. Ambition is never written as a guarantee.11 / PRESENTATION TEMPLATES
Start each deck with Neutral.
17 reusable examples bring the approved colours, typography, logos, charts and tables into PowerPoint and Google Slides. All example data is illustrative.
POWERPOINT
A template and an editable library.
Install the fonts included in the complete kit, then create a new presentation from the template. Duplicate the example slides for charts, tables and common layouts.
GOOGLE SLIDES · TEAM ACCESS
Make a copy and build from it.
Open the template and choose File → Make a copy. Google Slides uses Instrument Sans with the approved Consolas fallback for Commit Mono.
For independent chart data, also copy the Sheets chart library and relink the charts in your new deck. Editing the original chart source affects decks linked to it.

Read the usage guide
The kit includes fonts, licences and usage guidance. Chart grid colour remains provisional while the Ash/Stone conflict in the source guidance is reconciled.
12 / IMPLEMENTATION
One system. Human and machine-readable.
The downloadable release contains the approved specifications, fonts, logos, 1,269 icon SVGs, motion controller, tokens, reference CSS, component contracts, presentation templates and agent installation prompt.
NEUTRAL DESIGN SYSTEM
Version 1.0.0
Validated, checksummed and ready to install into an existing product repository.
COPY A COMPLETE INSTALLATION PROMPT
The prompt tells the agent what to download, where to place its instruction file, what behaviour to preserve, and how to validate the result.
Read the guide.
Use the chapter rules, live examples and supplied source assets.
Open source indexInstall the contract.
Copy the approved prompt into Codex, Claude Code, Cursor or another coding agent.
Map the tokens and patterns.
Integrate the machine-readable tokens and the complete component catalogue into the product’s native theme layer.
Sync, validate, build.
The dedicated repository refreshes from the approved workspace through one deterministic command.
