What did we decide about this, eighteen months ago?

Every chair has asked one of these. This page is how Quorums answers them, step by step.

Ingest

Everything the board reads, in one place.

Board packs, minutes, transcripts, management accounts: added to each board deliberately, one document at a time. Nothing enters a board’s record by accident, and nothing enters it from anywhere else.

Adding a board document to Quorums for extraction

Extraction

Read properly once. Structured forever.

From every document, Quorums extracts the things a good director actually tracks: decisions, actions, risks, and watch flags, plus the open questions and a chairman’s brief. It knows what to look for because board craft is designed into it, by someone who chairs boards for a living. It does not learn from other customers’ data; your board’s record is built from your board’s documents and nothing else.

The archive

A memory that compounds.

Every pack joins the board’s permanent, private record, so the questions that matter most become the easiest to ask:

What did we ask management to come back on in March?

How has churn moved across the last four packs?

What did the auditors flag last year, and did we close it?

The longer Quorums sits on a board, the more it knows about that board. Nothing is forgotten between meetings, because nothing is forgotten at all.

Ask

Shared record, private enquiry.

Everyone on the board queries the same record: one version of the truth, drawn from the same packs and minutes everyone received. But every member’s questions are their own: Ask threads are private to the person asking. A NED preparing an awkward question shouldn’t have to rehearse it in public. That’s not a convenience feature; it’s how boards actually work.

Members

Built for the whole board, not one user.

A board is a group, so the memory belongs to the group. Everyone you invite reads the same archive: the same decisions, the same actions, the same risks, in one place. Access stays under the chair’s control, and a member who only needs to read, an investor for instance, can be set to read-only. What no one shares is their line of enquiry. Each person’s Ask threads are private to them, so a director can question the record candidly and no one else sees the questions. Shared record, private enquiry.

The brief

The document that leaves the system.

Before each meeting, Quorums produces a chairman’s brief: what’s decided, what’s due, what’s slipping, what’s flagged, all on a few pages a director can read on the train. It’s built to be forwarded; most of the people who read it will never log in, and it should hold up on its own.

Board Brief
Meeting of 17 June 2026

Pre-meeting board brief

Northwind Systems Ltd

Decisions

Usage-based pricing approved as a new-customer pilot from Q3 2026.

Funding-round timing options to be prepared.

Actions

CFO to prepare funding-round timing options.

Churn cohort deep-dive: ageing across three cycles.

Watch flag

Reported gross churn fell from 2.4% to 1.6%, but the definition changed between packs. Like-for-like, churn is broadly flat.

Portfolio

One seat, across every board you sit on.

A chair rarely sits on one board. Each has its own pack, its own history, its own memory. Portfolio View draws them into a single cross-board cockpit: open actions, unresolved risks and watch flags across every board you sit on, side by side. It shows only the boards you are entitled to see, and it reads from each board’s record rather than reasoning over it, so the cockpit is a faithful roll-up and not a fresh judgement. It is the whole proposition on one screen. One seat. Every board.

What Quorums does not do

Quorums is not where your board stores or sends its documents. Packs reach the table however they reach it today. Quorums is the memory that sits on top: it reads what you give it, and remembers. It does not take your minutes; that remains a human craft. Nor does it set the agenda: Quorums surfaces what the record contains, and what the board takes up next is decided in the room. Portfolio View is your own cross-board view as a director, not a window for investors into your boards, and it builds no profile of you or anyone else. And it does not pass verdicts on people. Ask it about a CEO’s performance and it will assemble the evidence against your board’s own stated objectives and commitments, accurately, completely, and without an opinion. The judgement is yours. It always was.
