Rationale

Payload is primarily a headless CMS and application framework, but it explicitly offers Digital Asset Management (DAM) as a use case. While it doesn't focus on brand guidelines specifically, its DAM capabilities include centralized asset storage, organization, search, and version control, which are foundational to managing brand assets. The 'White Label' feature also aligns with the 'Whitelabel Agency Mode' feature.
