Solutions / Knowledge management

One home for what your company knows.

Every answer your company has already approved lives in one place, with the name of the person who approved it and the date.

The problem

You already answered this.

“The product only works if the knowledge stays current after the launch party ends.”

Knowledge Administrator

Somebody wrote the answer last quarter. It sits in a shared drive, or a chat thread, or the memory of the person who left in March.

So the question comes back. Someone answers it again, a little differently, and now you have two answers.

Nobody notices until a client, an auditor, or a new hire asks which one is right.

What it does

Work goes in. Answers come out.

Documents, tickets, and threads arrive from the tools your teams already use. AI drafts an entry from each one, and a person approves it.

One entry moving through eight steps, from draft to approved to live, with the approval step marked as the one a person performs

How it works

Four things it does daily.

Capture

It reads the work

AI watches the systems where answers already get written, and drafts an entry from each one.

Approve

A person signs it

Nothing goes live without a name on it. The name, the date, and the source are stored with the entry.

Refresh

It flags what went stale

Change a source document and every entry that leans on it is queued for a fresh look.

Report

It shows you the gaps

Questions nobody has answered become a ranked list, each with an owner and a date to answer by.

In practice

Twelve answers, one quarter.

What a review looks like for the person who has to do it.

One of your experts owns twelve approved answers. All twelve come up for review in their busiest quarter.

They get one list, not twelve emails. Each item shows how often that answer was used and what else depends on it.

They approve nine, edit two, and hand one to the colleague who owns it now. They do it in the chat tool they already have open.

Every answer that leaned on the two they edited is queued the same day.

Common questions

What teams ask first.

Is this a cleanup project?

No. You do not stop work to reorganize anything. Entries are drafted from work your teams are already doing, and your people approve a few each week.

Who approves an entry?

A named person you choose, usually the one who owns that subject. The name, the date, and the source travel with every answer built on that entry.

What happens when two answers disagree?

They are held apart and sent to a person to settle. They are never merged into one confident answer that nobody approved.

What happens when the person who approved an answer leaves?

The entry still shows who approved it and when, and it appears on the report of entries whose owner has gone. Ownership moves without the answer disappearing.
