    What is company context?

    The part of a finding that only your company can supply.

    Guide4 min readLast updated

    Short answer

    Company context is how your organization defines customers, products, cost, risk, and success, plus how your systems store and relate that information. It is unique to you. A public model does not have it.

    Key takeaways

    • Context is what makes a finding specific to your business.
    • You set the context: the systems, the fields, and the business question.
    • Your team reviews every finding before any action is taken.

    What company context includes

    • Definitions. What "customer," "margin," or "risk" means here.
    • Source-of-truth rules. Which system wins when two sources disagree.
    • Identifiers. The keys, account numbers, customer numbers, and domains your systems share.
    • Priorities and constraints. The business question you care about and the limits on what you can change.

    Why a generic tool does not have it

    A generic tool can write fluent text about "margin." It cannot know what margin means in your company, which system you trust, or which question matters this quarter.

    How it shapes the work

    The client controls the scope. You choose the systems and data sources, the fields are agreed during sprint design, and you confirm the primary business question. NexDiscovery discovers within that scope.

    How it shows up in a finding

    Each Action Pack ties a finding to your source records, an estimated impact, a recommended action, and a suggested owner. Your team reviews every finding before any action is taken.
