THE ARCHIVE NOBODY OPENS

Fifteen years of email is the deepest record your firm has, and nobody has looked at it since

Mail archives accumulate without anyone deciding to keep them. They contain negotiations, advice, reversals and explanations that were never written down anywhere else, because email was where the work actually happened.

WHY MAIL IS SO DENSE

Correspondence records things no system was designed to capture

  • Explanation to an outsider. Writing to a client forces reasoning to be made explicit in a way internal shorthand never does.
  • Negotiation in sequence. Positions move across a thread, and each move usually arrives with a justification.
  • Reversals. People change their minds in email, and say why, which is unusually instructive material.
  • Continuity across everything. Mail spans every system migration the firm has been through and survives all of them.
  • THE PRIVACY QUESTION

    Identities out, before anything is shared

    1. 01

      Establish what exists

      Six questions about the systems in use. Nothing is accessed at this point.

    2. 02

      You set the boundary

      Mailboxes, periods, or correspondents you will not include stay outside the licence entirely.

    3. 03

      Anonymization in preparation

      Identifying fields are stripped as part of preparing the data, ahead of any onward sharing.

    4. 04

      Paid on completion

      Typically $100K to $2M, Net 30 to 60, once the data is approved, shared, and anonymized.
