Boilerplate

Two lengths

Short (42 words)

REAP is the agentic AI platform for network operations: the reasoning and assurance layer above the tools enterprises already run. It explains incidents with evidence, checks changes before and after they land, and tests whether redundancy will hold before it is needed.

Long (119 words)

REAP is the agentic AI platform for network operations. Built by the engineers behind Andiamo (opens in a new tab), Insieme (opens in a new tab), Pensando (opens in a new tab) and WiteSand (opens in a new tab), REAP observes an enterprise’s network and IT systems, reasons over live evidence the way a senior engineer does, and acts only under the customer’s governance: read-only by default, approval-gated when it acts, with every conclusion traceable to the evidence. REAP is built to explain incidents in minutes rather than war rooms, to check changes made anywhere before and after they land, and to prove that failover will work before it has to. It is in proof-of-value pilots with design partners. REAP runs as SaaS today, with deployment in the customer’s cloud or on-premises by arrangement. Headquartered in San Jose, California.

The words

Four lines, each with one written form

What REAP says about itself, as it is written on the website, in documents, on slides and on the banner. Copy them as they are.

Headline

From signals to answers.

Sentence case, with the period. The message line: it leads the home page, the explainer and the event banner. In display text “answers.” takes Meridian Blue.

Tagline

Agentic Network Assurance. Grounded in Evidence.

Written as shown: two short sentences in title form, each ending with a period; no trademark symbol. Never reworded, abbreviated or translated. It signs the page: beside the logo, under the method line, next to the address.

Method line

Observe · Reason · Act · Prove

The four steps in this order, separated by middle dots. Prove is the fourth step, and takes Meridian Blue in display text: REAP keeps the evidence for every conclusion.

The three statements

Incident Reasoning

Restored is not Fixed

Restored is not the same as fixed.

Accelerate root-cause analysis.

Change Assurance

Completed is not Verified

Completed is not the same as verified.

Validate change outcomes.

Resilience Assurance · posture & compliance

Configured is not Compliant

Configured is not the same as compliant.

Uncover operational risks.

Three sentences, always together and in this order: each names a gap that a green dashboard hides. The ≠ form is for display (banners, slides, titles) and the sentence for running text; the line under each is what REAP does about it. Write the closing word in Meridian Blue where the text is display size.

House style: sentence case for headings and statements; no capitals for emphasis; the company is REAP (Reapitnow.ai, Inc.) and the address is written reapnet.ai, lowercase; no performance figures beside the tagline; no third-party names in the same line as any of the four.

A lockup is the logo with one line beneath it, left-aligned and sized to the logo’s width: the light files carry the navy logo with the Light Blue foot, the dark files the white logo with the Light Blue foot. Keep the clear space of the R around the whole lockup. Use a lockup where the logo stands alone with a caption: a slide or document cover, an event listing, a sponsor page, a social header, an email signature. Use the plain wordmark where the words already appear nearby. Do not set your own caption under the wordmark; use these files.

Color

Meridian, REAP Gray and the status colors

REAP has one brand hue, Meridian (HSL 198, 55, x), and a neutral that carries the same hue, REAP Gray (HSL 198, 10, x). Each runs from 10 (lightest) to 1000 (darkest); the number after L is the lightness. Click a value to copy it.

The triad is shifted on purpose from the usual red, yellow and green, and it marks status only: never decoration. On white, set status words in a darker shade of the same hue (or in Gray-900 beside a colored dot) so they stay readable.

Interaction

How the website answers the pointer and the keyboard

Two treatments every page shares, as the brand guidelines describe them.

Interactive surfaces

Rest the pointer on this card. Every card, tile, row and panel on the site answers the same way: the border turns Meridian Blue, the surface rises 2 px with a soft shadow, and the change takes 220 ms. Keyboard focus inside a surface lights it the same way, so a keyboard user sees what a mouse user sees. Dark surfaces brighten one step instead of rising; forms and diagrams highlight without moving. Where the visitor asks for reduced motion, the highlight stays and the movement goes; print drops both.

One block of the stylesheet carries the rules; a new component that uses the card classes gets the treatment without new CSS.

Accessibility statement

Glossary links

The first mention of a glossary term on a page is a quiet link with the definition as its tooltip, like these: the OSPF neighbor never changed state, so the runbook waited for the change window and the postmortem recorded why.

Headings, buttons, navigation, code, forms and the glossary itself are never linked, and a page carries at most 24 links. The build applies the links from the glossary data (244 terms in 10 groups); the WordPress plugin applies the same rules to blog excerpts, search results and posts written in the editor. A search for a term or one of its other spellings shows the definition above the results.

The glossary

QR code

One code that opens reapnet.ai

The REAP QR code: dark modules with the REAP R, navy with the Light Blue foot, at the center; it opens reapnet.ai

The REAP QR code

Opens reapnet.ai. Use it on anything printed or projected that points to REAP: an event listing, a sponsor page, a slide, a sign.

Print it at 0.8 inch (20 mm) or larger, in Meridian-950 or black on white, with the white margin the file includes (four modules) left clear. The R mark at the center is part of the code: do not replace it, recolor it or move it, and do not add a frame or a caption inside the margin. It is a standard QR code and reads on any phone camera.

Using the brand

For partners, press and events

  • Use the files from the logo pack as supplied; never redraw or retype the logo.
  • On white, use the navy logo with the Light Blue foot; on Meridian or a dark field, the white logo with the Light Blue foot.
  • Keep the clear space of the R on every side, and 16 px as the smallest height.
  • Write REAP in capitals; the company is Reapitnow.ai, Inc.; the address is reapnet.ai.
  • Use the words as written on this page.
  • Questions, or a use not covered here: press and analyst inquiries.
