Trusted policies. Clear answers.

PolicySquirrel

A governed policy operations workspace for creating, controlling, publishing, and understanding internal policies with confidence.

Product

Create, manage, and understand policies in one trusted place.

PolicySquirrel is being built for organizations that have outgrown shared folders, static PDFs, and spreadsheet trackers. The current MVP supports tenant onboarding, users, roles, reporting relationships, manager-scoped visibility, organizational units, custom groups, user import/export, permissions, configurable policy categories with hierarchy, identity-backed ownership, policy records, version workflow, Markdown drafting, checkout locks, duplicate draft safeguards, named approvers, reusable approval workflows, publishing, audit history, acknowledgement campaigns, pinned policies, and employee-facing published policy reading.

Features

Built for clarity, trust, simplicity, and growth.

Documents

Maintain policy records with managed categories, accountable owners, audience, effective dates, review dates, and current published version tracking.

Governance

Guide drafts through staged review, approval, and publishing with checkout controls, named approvers, workflow templates, approval separation, and audited override paths.

Team

Manage tenant users, roles, reporting relationships, organizational assignments, and granular permissions for scoped administration.

Structure

Model divisions, locations, positions, and dynamic custom groups to support targeting, manager visibility, and future HRIS feeds.

Acknowledgements

Assign published policy versions for acknowledgement, track completion, and keep acknowledged policies easy for employees to revisit.

Audit

Review policy, user, role, acknowledgement, pin, workflow, review-stage, and approval override events from policy timelines and a global audit view.

Clarity

Clear policies. Better decisions.

Easy to use. Easy to love.

Centralize policy content, publish current versions, give employees a clean read-only policy view, track acknowledgements, and prepare for AI-assisted answers.

A focused wedge into policy operations for teams underserved by ad hoc folders and heavyweight GRC suites.

Candidates

A practical product mission at the intersection of knowledge governance, compliance, and trustworthy AI.

Roadmap

From controlled publishing to clear answers.

The near-term path is intentionally grounded: strengthen workflow, organization data, import paths, and acknowledgements first, then introduce AI only after published-version governance is solid.

  1. Now Policy library, managed category hierarchy, identity-backed policy ownership, roles, reporting relationships, organizational units, custom groups, scoped user visibility, user import/export, version workflow, checkout locks, duplicate draft safeguards, named approvers, staged approval workflow templates, audit views, acknowledgement campaigns, pinned policies, and a polished published-policy reader.
  2. Next Approval roles, dynamic approval routing, flexible HRBP-style visibility, acknowledgement reporting, evidence exports, reminders, and stronger import validation.
  3. Then Organizational-unit imports, HRIS-style employee feeds, evergreen campaigns, recurring acknowledgements, section-level acknowledgement checkpoints, and controlled acknowledgement callouts inside policy content.
  4. Later Document ingestion, governed retrieval, cited AI answers, analytics.
