Facts have dates
A rate that changed in March is not the rate that applied in January. Both are held, and each knows when it applied.
What goes in
The documents and email you already have, and the systems already in use. No new place to put things, and no taxonomy to design first.
Superseding, not overwriting
When a fact changes, the old one stays and is marked as no longer current. Nothing is quietly replaced, so a past answer never becomes unexplainable.
Provenance
Every fact traces to the document it came from, at the version it came from. “Where does this number come from” is a click, not an investigation.
Why this makes replay possible
A record that says what was decided is a log. A record you can open and read as it stood at the time is a defence. The second one needs dated facts underneath it, which is why memory and decisions are one product rather than two.

Every document read, every correction a person makes, and every decision confirmed adds to what the organisation knows. The memory is yours: it stays when a person leaves, and it does not start from nothing each morning.
