Plan sponsors don't have a time problem. They have a context problem.

The Pain: Decisions span quarterly committee meetings, yet the plan document lives with legal, the IPS with the advisor, the minutes in someone's inbox, and the 5500 with the recordkeeper. When the DOL asks, or a participant complaint lands, the answer is slow, if it comes at all.

The Solution: Knowa holds every plan document, every committee decision, and every rationale in one structured record, and reads across all of it. And because it's built with PSCA, you get best-practice guidance surfaced in the same breath. The answer to "when did we last review this?" is one question away, not one search party.

On the horizon · Autonomous Governance

When the record is live, the workflow runs itself.

The Form 5500 cycle fires on its date. A SECURE 2.0 provision prompts the committee before the deadline. A DOL update drafts the policy revision. Humans sign off on judgment, not admin. The Foundation and Connected Governance are live. Autonomous Governance is what they unlock.

Your fiduciary duty is serious. Your governance should be too.

See how Knowa, powered by PSCA, brings clarity, confidence, and a defensible record to every committee meeting.
