## Notes

A strong start.

Fourteen participants across five organisations joined the kickoff. The energy was focused — people came prepared.

**Key themes from open questions**

*Traceability.* Several participants raised auditability as a hard requirement. The system must be able to explain not just what answer it gave, but which documents informed it and with what confidence. This is not a differentiator — it is table stakes in their regulatory environments. We confirmed this is core to the architecture, not a bolt-on.

*Contextual awareness.* Participants want the system to understand the regulatory and organisational context without being prompted each time. The Fenja Knowledge component (on the later roadmap) addresses this directly. We previewed the concept — the response was "when, not if."

*Data residency.* Every participant confirmed that data leaving their infrastructure — even temporarily, even encrypted — is a showstopper with their legal teams. The customer-hosted model is not just a feature preference; it is a compliance requirement.

**Decisions made**

- Pilot success criteria will be defined jointly with each organisation and shared in the next update
- Traceability will be demoed explicitly at the Q2 session
- Meeting notes will be posted in the hub within 48 hours of each session

Next session: **25 April, 14:00 CET.**
