Defensible decision record for Microsoft Teams
DecisionTrail automatically reconstructs requests, approvals, exceptions, and execution evidence into a defensible decision record for Microsoft Teams. Clear events publish automatically, background QA keeps trust high, and stricter holdbacks remain optional for sensitive workflows.
What the product surfaces
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 evidenceShow when a decision started in a small chat, moved into a team thread, and was finalized in a separate operational channel.
Privacy posture
External partners can run DecisionTrail in their own Azure environment while Helios holds only onboarding and deployment metadata.
Why the status quo breaks
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
Investigators waste time exporting fragments, cross-referencing screenshots, and manually guessing which thread mattered.
Where evidence gets lost
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
Operators verify sampled or uncertain evidence instead of stitching isolated Teams searches by hand or staffing a permanent analyst queue.
Product flow
1. Connect
DecisionTrail indexes channels and group chats by default, with private chat coverage controlled explicitly by the client.
2. Reconstruct
The product correlates explicit business identifiers across conversations to show requests, approvals, exceptions, and execution in order.
3. Publish and correct
Clear events flow straight into timelines and exports. QA sampling and optional holdbacks catch the edge cases without implying a new analyst team.
Proof path
Visual proof
The proof pack now includes coverage, timeline, QA, export, and onboarding visuals grounded in the current product surfaces.
Design partner brief
The pilot brief explains who the product is for, what setup is required, what is in scope, and which weekly success metrics matter.
Sample output
The sample report shows the narrative chronology, actor context, review posture, and source references buyers should expect from the workflow.

Helios control plane
Helios holds partner approval, deployment identity, version, and heartbeat status for external rollouts.
Client data plane
Messages, derived timelines, review actions, exports, and secrets stay inside the client deployment rather than the shared Helios app.
App handoff
This public site qualifies demand and drives demos. Operators still sign in through https://app.helioslabs.app.
Frequently asked questions
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.
No. The public site positions the system as a Teams audit trail and investigation timeline for regulated teams, not as a generic AI productivity layer.
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.
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.
