Keep What Your Company Knows. Even When People Leave

How much knowledge walks out the door every time someone leaves? Cortextual preserves that knowledge through connected sources, so your company doesn't have to start from scratch when a key employee moves on.

What their files can't tell you

When a key employee leaves, their files and documents stay. But what about the knowledge that lives between the lines? Informal processes, relationship history and institutional context: all gone.

The loss becomes clear when someone else has to take over. They have the files, documents and job description. Still, they spend months figuring out how the work actually gets done.

The stakes only get higher with broader workforce changes. Onboarding and offboarding, restructuring and role changes can all put critical knowledge at risk.

What Cortextual protects

Connected sources

With connected sources, Cortextual brings together the tools where company knowledge lives. These include Dropbox, Gmail, Google Drive, OneDrive, Outlook and SharePoint.

It indexes the knowledge created through everyday work so it stays accessible. No need to document anything separately.

Permission-aware preservation

When someone leaves, their connected knowledge remains protected within the permission architecture that existed during their tenure.

The same permissions stay in place, so nothing is exposed beyond its original access level.

Org visibility

Your org chart helps you see where critical institutional knowledge is concentrated across your organization. It highlights roles where important knowledge is not documented or shared elsewhere.

This helps Heads of People see where knowledge could be lost before making a workforce decision.

Built around your permissions

Cortextual inherits the permission structure from each connected source. If an employee cannot access a document in the source system, they cannot access it through Cortextual either. Permissions are enforced at query time. GDPR compliant, too.
