Tenure
The platform

One system for how your organization actually runs.

Finance, events, members, documents and institutional memory in one governed record, and a handoff packet the next holder inherits already written. Below: the data model, what a week looks like on each side of it, and exactly what Tenure connects to. Every control, and what verifies it on each build, is set out on Security.

02What it captures

The record fills itself as the team does the work.

Nobody writes the handoff document at the end of the cycle. Tenure keeps four kinds of record current as the work happens, so the next board inherits the real thing rather than a scramble of screenshots and a shared drive nobody can navigate.

What lives on the seat

four kinds of record, kept current by the work itself

no separate wiki
  • Contacts & relationships

    01

    Sponsors, funders, partners and alumni, with the warm intro and the last conversation kept behind each name.

  • Deals & numbers

    02

    Vendors, pricing and budgets, the real terms that were agreed, not a number someone half-remembers.

  • Decisions & rationale

    03

    What leadership chose and why, so next year does not relitigate a call that was already settled.

  • Files & playbooks

    04

    Decks, timelines and run-of-show checklists, the documents that carried the work, not a dead folder.

03Onboarding, handled

The next holder starts from everything that came before.

When a leader leaves and the next one takes the seat, they do not start from zero. They search the seat’s own record and get the sources back, with an answer whenever Tenure can ground one in them.

  • Ready on day one. Tenure AI answers from the knowledge, decisions and events recorded against the seat, from day one. Retrieval is literal keyword matching, every word of a question has to appear in a record, so short, specific queries work and full sentences often return nothing.

  • Answers link the records they came from. Responses link back to the records, files and decisions they were drawn from, and the model is only ever given records you are already allowed to see.

  • The knowledge stays with the seat. When this holder moves on, the next one inherits the same working memory, intact.

Retrieval covers five record kinds, knowledge cards, document titles and descriptions, approvals, events and organization records. Finance figures, people records and file contents are not in the corpus.
Tenure at work

Not a pitch deck. The mechanics, exactly as they work.

Finance

Every dollar, tracked and approved in place.

Budgets, allocations, and reimbursements live in one ledger. Officers request, leadership approves, and the whole history stays with the role, so next year’s treasurer sees exactly what things cost and who signed off.

The handoff

Records cross the term with their history intact.

When leadership rotates, the work doesn’t reset. Deals, contacts, and playbooks move to the incoming board with the context that made them matter, who built them, what they cost, and why.

04Fits your stack

What it connects to, including what it does not.

Most of this page describes what Tenure does. This part describes what it will not do for you, in the same words we would use in a security review, because finding out in week three is worse for both of us.

What Tenure connects to

5 rows, including the ones that say no

2 sections
  • What comes in

    3 live

    The files you already keep, opened and edited in place. Nothing to migrate.

    • Documents

      Live
      .pdf.docx.pptx

      Open them inside Tenure instead of downloading them to somebody’s laptop. Speaker notes come through with the deck.

    • Spreadsheets

      Verified in CI
      .xlsx.csv

      Edit in place, with a warning if someone else saved first. The budget you already keep imports as it is: Tenure works out which column is which whatever you named them, and shows you what it read before anything saves.

    • Text and data files

      Live
      .txt.md.json.xml

      Edit in place like the spreadsheets. These four are also the only files the assistant will summarize, not PDF, not Office.

  • What goes out

    2 live

    What Tenure sends outward, into the tools people already open.

    • Your calendar

      Verified in CI
      OutlookGoogle CalendarApple Calendar

      One signed link per person, pasted into whichever calendar they already open, no account connected, no password shared. One-way: Tenure fills your calendar and never reads it back.

    • Deadline reminders

      Live
      in-app

      Publish a deadline once and every organization sees it, with each person reminded once. In-app only, nobody is emailed.

These are the short answers. Security covers the same ground as a reviewed control list, every status word defined, and the limit and evidence behind each row. No vendor logo appears anywhere on this site, including next to the one connector that is built: a logo reads as a working integration whatever the sentence under it says, and only a name can carry a status word beside it.

See it on your own record. Not a demo org.
