Why the “why” behind a decision is the first thing to disappear
Teams rarely lack information — they lose the reasoning behind a decision. On how the 'why' quietly evaporates, and why keeping the reasoning (not just the conclusion) and surfacing it with AI at the right moment is what matters.

AI Format — turn rough notes into clean ones in one tap
