the problem

The record is spread across everything.

A typical Nation office holds its records across shared drives, personal folders, email accounts, paper files and several external platforms at once.

No single source of truth

Multiple versions of the same document circulate with no clear authority.

Custody cannot be proven

There is no reliable answer to who held a document, or when.

Departures create gaps

Records leave with staff or become inaccessible in dormant accounts.

the process

How it runs in Tsen’awt.

Records enter one repository and are governed there for their full lifecycle.

Consolidated at migration

Existing holdings are inventoried, described and brought into one repository.

Classified and retained

Each record carries a class, retention period and disposition rule.

Access by role

Departments hold what they administer; sensitive classes stay restricted.

Disposition recorded

Retention expiry and approved destruction are logged rather than informal.

what it uses

The parts involved.

This process is built from parts of the platform working together.

Files

The repository holding the documents themselves.

Metadata & Classification

Defining record classes and retention rules.

Role-Based Access Control

Enforcing who reaches which class of record.

Activity

Providing the custody and disposition evidence.

outcome

What it changes.

The Nation holds a defensible record.

Provable custody

Who held what, and when, is answerable from the system.

Obligations satisfied

Retention and access requirements are enforced rather than intended.

Continuity through turnover

Records stay with the Nation regardless of staffing change.
