# Securing project knowledge in IT and engineering

## The project is finished – but why it was built that way, only a single head knows.

Orphaned systems, undocumented bespoke customer solutions and scattered credentials slow down your engineering. Explicio sits beneath your entire project and IT landscape as a cognitive first layer.

WHAT EXPLICIO DOES HERE

## Knowledge from everyday work — with source and time.

- ✓ Architecture & project knowledge without documentation frustration: Decisions from meetings, tickets and chats end up structured in the knowledge graph.
- ✓ Password vault without plain text in the model: Credentials are automatically masked before the AI model and released only under the four-eyes principle.
- ✓ Native MCP protocol & agent API: Your own AI agents and coding assistants access the verified knowledge directly.

WHAT THIS IS ABOUT

## What the manual says — and what it doesn't.

In the manual
- • Architecture diagram and network plan
- • Ticket and change log
- • Specification and acceptance report
- • User manual

In no manual
- • why the interface to the legacy system was built that way
- • which customer special depends on which switch
- • which workaround has held for three years
- • what went wrong in the last update — and why

WHAT EXPLICIO DOES NOT DO HERE

## Limits that apply — even when nobody asks.

- ✕ Explicio never discloses credentials in the chat — only through a release process.
- ✕ Explicio does not change systems or deploy anything.
- ✕ Explicio does not assess work on code or projects by person.
