The why lives in a thread
An engineer explains why the team uses a subdomain per tenant, the answer takes a few minutes to write. A month later nobody can find that thread, and asking the senior engineer is the easiest way to get the answer.
Which is how the same design question reaches the same senior engineer again.
Saved where the decision was made
- A teammate saves the thread in three clicks, with the title, department and tags in one step.
- AI-assisted capture turns it into an entry with a summary and topic tags, and the full conversation stays attached.
- Tags group entries by topic, such as #database or #multi-tenancy, and the author's profile shows the expertise badge earned through colleagues' likes and bookmarks.
| @ acmeEach tenant gets its own subdomain, so the tenant is resolved from the hostname before any application logic runs. Cookies are scoped per subdomain, which stops one tenant's session being replayed against another. The tradeoff is DNS and certificate management, handled per tenant today.

Who feels the difference
The senior engineer.
Fewer repeat questions, with a name on every answer they gave.
The new engineer.
Last year's design reasons are searchable on day one.
The engineering manager.
Knowledge from Slack, Teams, and email is captured without adding to already-full plates.
Questions about engineering knowledge
What gets saved?
The whole thread, with a summary and topic tags. A source tag is added automatically, and up to three more can be added.
Does it replace our wiki or docs?
No. Keep the docs you maintain today. Pravodha adds the reasons behind decisions, saved from conversations that already happened, so nobody writes documentation from memory. Each entry keeps the full thread behind it.
Can engineering entries stay with the engineering team?
Each entry is associated with a department and is visible to the people subscribed to that department. People can subscribe to as many departments as they choose.
