# Organizations & Workspaces
Before you begin any analytical work in RootCause, you need to be in the right place. All of the [seven-step workflow](https://docs.rootcause.ai/start-here/workflow) — from connecting data through producing reports — happens inside a workspace. Understanding the container model will help you stay organized as your work grows.
## Organization
Your top-level account. Contains workspaces, users, and billing settings. Most companies have one organization with multiple workspaces for different teams or projects.
## Workspace
A workspace is the collaboration boundary for a specific project or team. Each workspace has its own datasets, ontology, digital twins, simulations, and reports. Use workspaces to separate different analytical domains — marketing might have one workspace, operations another.
In other words, a workspace is the container that keeps one analytical domain separate from another. When you create a new workspace, you start with a clean slate: no data, no models, no reports. Everything you build stays within that workspace.
## Main Sections
Within a workspace, you'll find three main sections that correspond to the stages of the workflow:
| Section | Purpose |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
