END TO END
From four hundred files to one record.
Start from a map of what your business does. Add the documents you already wrote. The software drafts a record, you confirm it, and then anyone can ask it questions.
No credit card. Five design partner places. A person replies.
The 80% is already written down.
It just isn’t connected, current, or answerable. Getting it there should take days, which is what frees the room up for the part that only lives in people’s heads.
Workshops & Stickies
Forty people in a room is a good tactic, it surfaces tacit knowledge and manufactures alignment. It is also an incomplete picture and a very, very expensive way to draw one. A map answers exactly the question it was drawn to answer; ask a different one and you commission another picture.
Everything you knew, filed where no one asks.
The wall gets photographed, redrawn, and put away, next to the design docs, the SOPs, the runbooks, the screenshots someone took for training in 2019. All written down. None of it reachable.
The record answers back.
Upload what already exists and it becomes one connected record you can question, not a picture drawn to answer one thing. The 80% that’s written down takes days, and the room gets the 20% that never was.
| Dimension | THE WORKSHOP | THE DIGITAL CANVAS | THE WAY IT WORKS |
|---|---|---|---|
INPUT | Forty people, one room, working from memory | The same people, remote, working from memory | The documents you already wrote |
METHOD | Sticky notes on a wall, a facilitator, weeks of sessions | Boxes on a screen, comments, version history | Drafted from your documents. A person confirms it. |
OUTPUT | One static map | One static map | A record you can ask questions of |
ELAPSED | Measured in months, often quarters | Measured in months, often quarters | Days |

HOW DO YOU WRITE DOWN THE WAY SOMETHING WORKS?
Three ways to map a process.
What changed is the input, not the room. We deliver the 80% that exists in days, so the room gets spent on the 20% that never did.
