The Business Memory Scan

Years of the business are hiding in your inbox.

We turn a bounded history of one owner or executive mailbox into a map of decisions, relationships, repeated work, missed follow-ups and the best next changes.

Read-only. Purpose-limited.Evidence-linked findings.Retention agreed before processing.
01 · The problem

Your inbox remembers the business better than any strategy deck.

Important decisions, customer language, supplier history and half-made plans are buried across thousands of conversations. Search can find a message when you already know what to ask. It cannot show the patterns you have stopped noticing.

02 · What the scan looks for

A business map, not an AI summary.

Decisions

What changed, why it changed, who was involved and which decisions still live only in email.

Relationships

Customers, partners and suppliers that recur, and the ones that may need attention.

Follow-up gaps

Promises, introductions and proposals that appear to have gone quiet. A person checks every candidate before it becomes an action.

Repeated work

Questions answered again and workflows that depend on somebody remembering the next step.

Customer language

The words customers use when they ask, object, buy or get confused.

Knowledge risk

Where the organisation appears dependent on one person or one mailbox.

03 · What you keep

You can check every material finding.

  • executive read-out of the findings that matter most
  • decision timeline
  • relationship map
  • follow-up register for human review, never an automatic send list
  • repeated-work map
  • customer-language brief
  • knowledge-risk list
  • ranked 90-day action plan
  • a recommendation to build one bounded workflow next, or not to
04 · How it works

Purpose first. Content later. Then delete.

01

Set the purpose. "Find anything interesting" is not a valid scope.

02

Exclude before access. Private, HR, health, legal and personal mail stays out.

03

Count and narrow. Metadata first, so we know whether a smaller set answers the purpose.

04

Analyse in stages. Bounded batches. The entire mailbox is not pasted into a chat window.

05

Human review. Connor checks high-impact findings against their sources.

06

Read-out and delete. You get the pack. Temporary scan data is deleted on the agreed schedule.

Standard boundary: one owner or executive business mailbox, up to five years, up to 100,000 messages after deduplication. Attachments excluded by default. Additional mailboxes are a separate scope.

05 · Safety

A large mailbox deserves a small, explicit permission boundary.

Access to the account does not, by itself, make every use of its contents appropriate. You sign in and complete MFA. Heoka does not ask for passwords. We do not score employees, make disciplinary recommendations or automatically contact anyone the scan finds.

06 · Before you ask

Straight answers.

Do you read every email?

No. The purpose, exclusions and a metadata pass decide what content is in scope. The cap is one mailbox and 100,000 messages after deduplication, not the whole history of the company.

Will you email people the scan finds?

No. Follow-up candidates are for you to review. Nothing is sent, published or deleted from a finding.

Is this employee monitoring?

No. The standard scan is the owner's own business mailbox. Worker communications need a separate documented lawful basis before any content processing starts. Heoka is not your lawyer or data protection officer.

Do I need ChatGPT or Claude?

Not to buy the scan. If a model is used, the proposal names the commercial processing route. Consumer Claude Free, Pro or Max accounts are not used for mailbox content.
