Streamlining Knowledge Governance at ARCTIQ

ARCTIQ operates in a complex environment where engineering velocity and project coordination are critical. Before implementing Leo, the organization faced challenges with “tribal knowledge” drifting over time - where critical project context and technical procedures were not documented and resided only in specific minds.

The Challenge: Tribal Knowledge and Tool Sprawl

The project management team identified several friction points that hindered execution speed:

• Knowledge Loss: As teams grew and changed, critical company know-how was “walking out the door” when staff departed.
• Search Friction: Project Managers and engineers spent excessive time searching through scattered files to find approved runbooks and workflows.
• Security Concerns: Sensitive project data, particularly financial and security controls, were spread across unmanaged tools.
• Stale Documentation: The current way of doing things was difficult to find, leading to outdated procedures being followed.

The Solution: Implementing a Role-Aware AI Hub

ARCTIQ implemented Leo to turn scattered documentation into a structured, usable system. The team leveraged Leo’s core capabilities to enforce a secure, metric-first development approach:

• Role-Aware Guidance: Leo ensured that PMs, developers, and security leads only saw information aligned with their permissions. PMs accessed project budget data, while developers focused on technical workflows.
• Execution-Focused Workflows: Leo surfaced current procedures and controls at the “moment of work,” guiding teams through approved runbooks for incident responses.
• Data Sovereignty: Leo kept all project data within ARCTIQ’s private infrastructure, ensuring compliance and security-first governance.

Shifting Correctness Signals Early

Following a staged migration strategy, the project management team at ARCTIQ migrated the most frequent workflows into Leo first:

• Onboarding: Leo shortened onboarding time, allowing new joiners to contribute from day one by providing immediate access to project context.
• Audit Readiness: PMs utilized Leo to improve month-end cycles and audit readiness by making finance procedures easy to find and follow.

Impact and Results

Drawing on metrics validated in technical environments, the impact of Leo at ARCTIQ includes:

• Engineering Velocity: By providing instant access to approved internal knowledge, Leo reduces the time engineers take to develop changes, leading to productivity improvements ranging from 14% to 33%.
• Thousands of Hours Saved: Centralizing framework documentation saved thousands of DAT hours annually through the reduction of redundant search efforts.
• Reduced Tool Sprawl: Leadership replaced multiple individual tool subscriptions with one secure team platform.
• Documentation Vitality: Leo reduced knowledge staleness by making current procedures the easiest path to follow.

“For a Project Manager at ARCTIQ, using Leo is like having a universal GPS for the company’s brain. It provides real-time, role-specific turn-by-turn instructions that ensure everyone reaches the project destination faster and via the most secure route.”
