What team memory means.
Team memory for AI work is the shared record of how useful AI-assisted work gets done. It includes the problem, source context, instructions, decisions, outputs, and the lesson that should change the next run.
The point is not documentation for its own sake. The point is to stop valuable AI know-how disappearing into private chat windows, personal notes, or one-off heroics.
People become faster in isolation, but the organisation cannot see what worked or repeat it with confidence.
The useful trace has to be captured close to the moment of work, while context and judgment are still fresh.
Good team memory makes future work faster, safer, and easier to improve because the prior run remains inspectable.
