Brand
Rotascale is the company. RotaGrant is the product.
The distinction matters in a sentence: Rotascale does not determine anyone's compliance, and RotaGrant runs in your environment. One is a legal entity, the other is software.
Naming
- Rotascale
- Lower case in the wordmark, capitalised in prose. The company. A product of Rota, Inc., San Francisco.
- RotaGrant
- One word, capital R and capital G. The platform. Never "Rotagrant" or "Rota Grant".
- Not "Rotascale's RotaGrant platform"
- Pick one. Either "RotaGrant" or "Rotascale's agent governance platform" — the doubled form reads like a press release.
Colour
One accent, and three semantic colours that are not decoration — they carry meaning in the product and should never be used for emphasis.
| Token | Value | Means |
|---|---|---|
| Accent | #b509ac | The brand. Primary actions, keyboard focus, and the one thing selected for inspection. Never a heading, never a background. |
| Canvas | #f8f8f5 | The page. Warm off-white. |
| Surface | #ffffff | Evidence: a record, the decision exhibit, a form field. The whitest thing on the page is the thing to inspect. |
| Text | #232326 / #626265 | Charcoal for reading, a darker grey for labels and secondary copy. |
| Rules | #d6d6d0 / #80807e | Fine for organising space; strong for controls and the lines a diagram depends on. |
| Success | #37634e | Permitted, verified, held, passed |
| Stop | #963c32 | Refused, failed, breached, exhausted |
| Review | #7d5a1f | Needs a person, or a stated limit |
Light only. The site had a dark theme until September 2026 and it was removed rather than maintained: two themes doubled every contrast check and every screenshot, and a buyer evaluated us in neither. The semantic three are meaning, not emphasis, and are never used to decorate.
Typography
- IBM Plex Sans
- Display and reading, one face. Headings sit at medium weight with tight tracking; body copy at regular. Plex was drawn for engineering documentation rather than for advertising, which is the register this product wants.
- IBM Plex Mono
- Identifiers, states, gate names and amounts — the product's own voice, used wherever something appears as it appears in the record, with tabular figures so numbers line up. The same family as the sans, so a record and its explanation read as one hand.
Both are self-hosted. A site claiming your data stays with you should not be fetching type from a third party. Spectral and Libre Franklin, which carried the site until September 2026, are retired from the website and survive only in the PDF downloads.
