For the People
Behind the Decision

Knowa. The AI-powered board platform for boards, committees and the groups behind them.

A board decision should still be explainable years after the people who made it have moved on. Knowa keeps the evidence, history and collective knowledge behind it in live connection, and within reach.

Available now · the core platform

Three parts. One group record.

Built for the way corporate boards actually work: multiple committees, ringfenced but connected, with an audit trail that survives turnover at every level.

Smart Vault.
Every committee, one workspace.

Terms of reference, minutes, resolutions, board papers, reports, and evaluations. Versioned, permissioned, and audit-ready. The director rotates off; the record stays.

Collaboration Space.
The work between meetings.

Chair conversations, director questions, committee sign-offs. Every discussion, vote, and decision threaded to the paper or resolution it relates to. Directors @mention, debate, and vote between meetings. The discussion becomes the record.

Meeting Flow.
Pack → capture → minutes.

Meeting Flow is the work of the meeting itself: the pack assembled cohesively from Knowa and external content, directors reading, annotating, and asking questions in advance, the discussion captured live, minutes drafted within the hour with resolutions and actions already in the tracker.

1 · Pack → 2 · Verse → 3 · Minutes
Draft minutes · Q4 Audit Cttee
Going concern approved. 3 resolutions recorded, 6 actions logged.

The duty was always to take account of every relevant factor. Across five committees, nobody could.

Audit, Remuneration, Nomination, Risk, ESG. Each with its own rhythm, papers and minutes. What a director needs lives anywhere but the place they would look first.

Knowa holds the complete record of the board, every committee and every entity in the group. Ringfenced access. One audit trail. One answer when the Chair asks where the board landed, last month or three years ago.

Distinct committee rooms are connected by a clear route through a shared structure.

Why boards are switching

FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 boards are choosing Knowa over traditional board software.

The old portals were built to store a meeting pack. Knowa was built to run governance, and to think alongside the board without replacing its judgement.

Traditional board software
  • A place to file the Meeting Pack
  • You dig through folders to find an answer
  • Knowledge walks out the door when a director does
  • Every committee is just another folder
  • Built for storage
Knowa
  • A living record of every meeting, decision, and action
  • You ask a question and get an answer, cited to source
  • The record stays, continuity is built in
  • Every committee gets its own connected space
  • Built to govern, with intelligence on top

Available now · Knowa Q

When the board's record is connected, one question finds it all.

Knowa Q reads across the entire record. Board and committee minutes, terms of reference, resolutions, board papers, reports, and subsidiary filings. Ask it anything. Get an answer grounded in your own documents, cited to the paper or minute it came from.

No searching. No guessing. Every answer cited to source. The Chair's "what did RemCo agree?" is one question away. The General Counsel's "where did we land on that?" resolves in seconds, not a half-day.
