# Retrieval and long context do not create company memory

## Observation

Finding a relevant fragment does not establish whether it is current, authorized, trustworthy, or applicable to the present task.

## Why it matters

Organizational memory needs provenance, scope, temporal validity, permissions, and an explicit connection to changed action, not only better search.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2695. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2695.
