Decision intelligence for regulated operators

Turn Microsoft Teams into a defensible decision record.

DecisionTrail reconstructs who requested action, who analyzed it, who approved or rejected it, why it happened, and where the source evidence came from across one tenant-wide Teams footprint.

Built for compliance, legal, risk, and investigations Banks, asset managers, and hedge funds first Helios Labs behind the product

What the product surfaces

One decision graph across channels, chats, and analyst review.

Requests, analysis, approvals, rejections, execution, exceptions, and resolution are assembled into one entity-linked timeline rather than isolated conversation fragments.

Why teams adopt it

Cross-chat evidence

Show when a decision started in a small chat, moved into a team thread, and was finalized in a separate operational channel.

Privacy posture

Control plane for Helios. Data plane for the client.

External partners can run DecisionTrail in their own Azure environment while Helios holds only onboarding and deployment metadata.

Why the status quo breaks

Approvals rarely stay in one place.

In regulated Teams workflows, the first request, the practical analysis, the approval language, and the execution handoff often happen in different conversations. That makes defensible reconstruction difficult without a dedicated timeline system.

What teams do today

Search one channel at a time

Investigators waste time exporting fragments, cross-referencing screenshots, and manually guessing which thread mattered.

Where evidence gets lost

Approval language lives in side chats

By the time execution happens in a formal team, the rationale or approval may already be buried in a different message surface.

What DecisionTrail changes

One chronology, one export, one review loop

Analysts can verify a reconstructed story instead of stitching together isolated Teams searches by hand.

Product flow

From tenant-wide coverage to audit-ready narrative.

1. Connect

Authorize one Microsoft tenant

DecisionTrail indexes channels and group chats by default, with private chat coverage controlled explicitly by the client.

2. Reconstruct

Assemble entity-linked timelines

The product correlates explicit business identifiers across conversations to show requests, approvals, exceptions, and execution in order.

3. Review and export

Resolve ambiguity before delivery

Analysts review uncertain evidence, capture review reasons, and export a narrative report with source references and chronology.

Deployment architecture

Public product story with a privacy-safe operating model.

Read the privacy posture

Helios control plane

Allowlist, registration, health

Helios holds partner approval, deployment identity, version, and heartbeat status for external rollouts.

Client data plane

Client-owned Azure environment

Messages, derived timelines, review actions, exports, and secrets stay inside the client deployment rather than the shared Helios app.

App handoff

Public site and signed-in app stay separate

This public site qualifies demand and drives demos. Operators still sign in through https://app.helioslabs.app.

Frequently asked questions

Answer the objections before the first call.

See DecisionTrail in Action

What does DecisionTrail actually reconstruct?

DecisionTrail builds a single chronology across Microsoft Teams so operators can show who requested action, who analyzed it, who approved or rejected it, what happened next, and which messages support each step.

Is this positioned as a generic AI assistant?

No. The public site and product position the system as a decision trail and investigation timeline for regulated teams, not as a general AI productivity layer.

How does the privacy model work for clients?

External partners can be deployed into their own Azure tenant and subscription, while Helios keeps only control-plane metadata such as allowlisting, deployment identity, version, and health.

Why is Microsoft Teams the first source?

Teams is where requests, approvals, exceptions, and execution handoffs often happen in regulated workflows. The product is built to reconstruct those decisions across channels, group chats, and approved private chats.
