When Someone Is Out, the Work Shouldn’t Stop.
Every team has one person everyone asks. When they’re on leave, the question waits. scri8e answers from what they already wrote in Slack, Google Drive and Notion, with dates and sources, so the answer doesn’t leave when the person does.
- For
- Teams with one person who knows
- Answers from
- What’s already written
- When unsure
- It says so
Where did we land on the warehouse vendor renewal?
Renew for twelve months at the new rate, with the 60 day exit clause kept in. Meera agreed it with the vendor two weeks ago and the signed order form is in the contracts folder.
The Answer Was Written Down. The Person Who Knew Where Wasn’t In.
From discovery calls. Different teams, the same pain, in their own words.
“Last time someone was on leave and I needed info only they had, I ended up just having to wait.”
“I can’t expect everyone to show up at every meeting, so not knowing what changes they made just makes everything slower.”
“There was always one person everyone went to for info.”
Ask the Brain, Not the Person
It can only answer from what exists. Most of what the absent person knows already exists, scattered across a Slack thread, a Drive file and a page nobody linked.
- Their threads are still there
- What they said in Slack, wrote in Drive and documented in Notion stays answerable while they’re away.
- Decisions come with dates
- Every answer says how old its sources are, so you know whether you’re looking at the current plan.
- Honest when it doesn’t know
- Thin or old evidence is flagged, and when two sources disagree it shows both. Then you know what to check on Monday.
Next Time Someone Is Out, Keep Moving.
We’re setting teams up a few at a time, each one on a call. Book 20 minutes, or write to us first if you’d rather.
