What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a searchable Notion workspace that stores your team's contract knowledge — precedent decisions, clause explanations, vendor history, and process notes — with Notion AI ready to answer questions like "have we dealt with this limitation of liability approach before?" and "what's our standard position on IP ownership?"
This solves the institutional memory problem: when experienced staff leave, their knowledge usually leaves with them. This system captures and makes it searchable.
