Context Loss

Example

A discount was approved verbally in a call last quarter, but the reasoning never made it into the invoice record, so a new team member questions it months later.

Why it matters

Naming the moments where context tends to disappear, like handoffs and verbal decisions, points directly at where to add a durable record.

Limits and cautions

Not all context is worth preserving. Recording everything indiscriminately creates its own overhead without necessarily preventing the losses that matter.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's notes and activity history attach the reasoning behind a decision to the record it affects, where that capability is used.

This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
