Enterprise Mind

The full service that gives your organisation memory, judgement and governed autonomy.

Overview

Enterprise Mind is the complete service we provide so that your organisation remembers what it decided and why, learns from results and automates step by step, under your control. It is not a single screen or engine. It is the set of parts that work together: The Brain, Memory, the Decision Ledger, Recall, Outcome Learning, Autonomy & Approvals, and Governance, Privacy & Voice.

When you switch it on for a module, we set the parts up around the records, roles and AI engine you already use. It follows your rules, your experiences and your expectations, and it works with whichever LLM you choose to work with.

What we set up with you

  • Where to start. Choose the modules that begin with Enterprise Mind. Each one starts at observe and suggest.
  • Connections. Link it to your records, roles and the AI engine you chose.
  • Rules. Agree data classes, retention and who may approve what.
  • Limits. Set the starting autonomy level for each action class, and the limits it may never cross.
  • Review. Look at the first results with your administrators and widen the scope one step at a time.

Technical readers can find the architecture behind The Brain in Brain Engine.

In one minute

  • It listens to decisions, not people. Approvals, overrides, outcomes and call summaries are recorded; clicks and screen time are not.
  • It remembers with sources. Every answer points back to the record, message or document it came from.
  • It suggests with evidence. A suggestion shows its confidence, the cases behind it and the options it ranked lower.
  • It acts only where allowed. Actions come from a fixed catalog and run at the level an administrator granted.
  • It learns from results. What actually happened feeds the next suggestion, and proposed rules wait for an administrator.

A day with Enterprise Mind

TimeWhoWhat happens
08:02Voice agentAnswers a booking call, remembers the guest's quiet-room preference from last spring and writes it back.
09:12SupervisorOpens room 214, sees a recall card, approves one extra cleaner and writes a one-line reason.
11:30Fleet plannerOverrides a service interval because of a mountain route. The override and reason go into the ledger.
14:05Enterprise MindCloses a renewal outcome and compares it with its earlier prediction.
17:40AdministratorReviews a proposed rule built from three weeks of cases and approves it for one module.

Principles it follows

PrincipleIn practice
Every answer has a sourceNo source, no result.
Reading is not actingBeing allowed to recall something never allows running an action.
Limits beat confidenceA confident suggestion still stops at a limit.
Unknown is not failedAn action with no reply is shown as unknown and checked, never guessed.
Nothing promotes itselfRules, methods and autonomy levels all wait for an administrator.

What it is, and what it is not

Most companies lose the reasoning behind a decision within days. The person who decided moves on, the chat thread scrolls away, and the next person starts from scratch. Enterprise Mind keeps that reasoning attached to the record it belongs to, and puts it back in front of the next person at the moment it matters.

It isIt is not
A long-term memory for decisions, calls and outcomes, with the source attachedA chatbot that answers from general knowledge
A way to compare options and show the evidence behind a suggestionA black box that tells you what to do
A ladder from observe to limited auto-run, controlled by administratorsAn on/off switch for "autonomous mode"
Built into TotalApp and bound by your roles and tenant isolationA separate service with its own users and data

"Mind" is a metaphor

The name describes an architecture: memory, judgement and action working together. It does not claim awareness. Every suggestion can be traced to records, and every action needs an approval or a limit you set.

What it remembers

Memory is built from the work your team already does. Each source keeps its original wording, its versions and the people involved, so an answer can always be traced back.

SourceExamplesWhat is kept
DecisionsApprovals, rejections, edits, overridesWho, role, reason, evidence shown, time
ConversationsMessages and notes on a recordOriginal text, every edited version, exact quotations
Calls and meetingsVoice agent calls, logged meetingsSummary, language, preferences, follow-ups
DocumentsPolicies, contracts, proceduresThe document version that applied at the time
RecordsTasks, orders, bookings, casesState changes with when they happened and when they were recorded
Confirmed outcomesWon or lost, on time or late, passed or failedThe result, linked to the decision that led to it

What a memory entry always carries

  • The original source, never only a paraphrase.
  • Versions. If a message or document is edited, the earlier version stays available.
  • Who was involved and what was known to them at the time.
  • Access rules. The same role and data-class rules that protect the original record protect its memory.
  • A retention period after which the entry is archived or removed.

Building blocks

Behind the parts above, Enterprise Mind is built from six building blocks. Each is explained in more detail on the other pages of this group.

Screens

Enterprise Mind adds a small set of screens to each module that has it switched on. Settings and autonomy controls sit in the Administration & Access group and are visible to administrators only; everything else is open to staff who already hold a role in that module.

ScreenWhat it is forWho sees it
OverviewEvents recorded, suggestion acceptance, open approvals and the current autonomy level.Module staff
Decision LedgerBrowse and filter every recorded decision. DetailsModule staff
RecallAsk what happened in a similar case. DetailsModule staff
Suggestions and ApprovalsReview, approve, edit or reject. DetailsApprover roles
AutonomySet the level per action class and use the kill switch. DetailsAdministrators
OutcomesPredicted versus actual and proposed rules. DetailsAdministrators and approvers
SettingsData classes, retention, masking and audit. DetailsAdministrators

Getting started

  1. Open Settings and switch Enterprise Mind on for one module. Start with the module where decisions repeat most.
  2. Review the data classes. Public and internal collections are shared by default; sensitive collections stay out until you allow them.
  3. Leave every action class at Observe for the first two weeks. The ledger fills up and Recall starts to work.
  4. Move chosen classes to Suggest. Approvers see suggestions with their evidence in the approval queue.
  5. When the acceptance rate holds, promote a class to Approve and later to limited auto-run, always inside limits you set.

Tip

You never have to move past Observe or Suggest. Recall and the ledger are useful on their own.

Roles and permissions

Enterprise Mind adds no separate user list. Access follows the roles you already assigned in each module, extended by four capabilities.

CapabilityWhat it allowsDefault holders
ReadOpen the ledger, Recall and suggestions for the module.All module staff
ProposeCreate a suggestion from a record or a call.Operators and approvers
ExecuteApprove a suggestion so the action runs.Approver roles (for example Plant Manager, Senior Partner)
AdministerChange autonomy levels, data classes, retention and the kill switch.Module administrators

Always a person

In Healthcare, Patent and R&D the approve and auto levels are not offered. A person decides every action there.

Rolling it out

Start small and let the numbers decide how far to go. A typical rollout for one module takes four phases.

PhaseTypical lengthWhat you doExit signal
1. Observe2 weeksSwitch on one module, review data classes, leave every class at Observe.The ledger shows realistic volume; masking looks right.
2. Suggest4 weeksMove chosen classes to Suggest. Approvers use the queue and write reasons when they reject.Acceptance holds steady and rejections have clear reasons.
3. Approve4 to 8 weeksPromote proven classes to one-click approval. Define the action catalog.No wrong action ran; unknown results are rare.
4. Limited autoOngoingAllow low-risk, reversible classes to run inside limits. Review weekly.The weekly review finds nothing to demote.

Run a bounded pilot first

Pick one module, one team and one or two action classes. A pilot of six to eight weeks is enough to see whether acceptance and time saved justify going further.

What it does not do

  • It does not act outside the approved action catalog, ever.
  • It does not exceed a spending limit, touch sensitive data or run an action that cannot be reversed without a person.
  • It does not track clicks, screen time or individual productivity. It records business decisions.
  • It does not activate learned rules on its own. An administrator approves every rule.

Glossary

TermMeaning
Action classA named kind of action, for example "Assign housekeeping task". Autonomy is set per class.
Action catalogThe list of actions an administrator allows for a module. Nothing outside it can run.
AcceptanceShare of suggestions approved without changes.
As-of dateA date you pick in Recall to see what the system knew on that day.
ConfidenceHow sure the engine is about a suggestion, from 0 to 100.
Data classPublic, internal or sensitive. Decides what is shared and shown.
DemotionAn automatic drop of one autonomy level when quality falls.
EscalationSending a low-confidence suggestion to a more senior approver role.
Kill switchOne control that returns a module or the tenant to Observe.
TraceA reference attached to each suggestion for later questions and audits.

Limits and troubleshooting

Recall shows nothing for my record.
Memory needs history. A module that was switched on recently has little to recall. Check that the relevant collections are not classed sensitive, and that you hold a role in the module.
Suggestions seem too cautious.
Low confidence usually means few similar cases. Write a reason whenever you reject or edit; those reasons are what raise confidence over time.
An action shows "unknown".
The outside system did not answer. Check it and press Verify. The card will not mark the action as done or failed until you do.
A class dropped a level on its own.
Acceptance or accuracy fell below the threshold. Open the class on the Autonomy screen to see the cases that caused it, fix the cause, then promote again.

FAQ

Is Enterprise Mind a separate product I have to connect?
No. It is a core engine inside TotalApp and uses your existing roles, tenant isolation and audit trail.
Can I use it with a local AI model?
Yes. It uses the AI engine selected in Settings, cloud or local. Memory, policy and approvals behave the same either way.
What if I turn it off?
Screens and workflows keep working as before. The ledger stops growing and suggestions disappear; recorded history stays until its retention period ends.
