Board Pack Prep.
Materials assembled from minutes, not weeks.
Leah aggregates board pack inputs from across the enterprise, drafts each section to a consistent governance standard, surfaces material issues for the chair, and maintains a defensible audit trail.
Every quarter, the same scramble. Every pack, the same gaps.
Board pack prep eats two weeks every quarter
Company secretaries and governance leads spend the better part of a fortnight chasing inputs, reformatting decks, and reconciling versions. The cycle repeats every quarter and consumes the team that should be advising the board.
Materials live in disparate systems
Legal updates sit in the CLM. Financials sit in the ERP. Risk lives in the GRC platform. ESG metrics are scattered across operations, HR, and sustainability tools. Assembling a single pack means stitching together a dozen exports.
Consistency drifts across drafters
Each section is written by a different function. Tone, structure, and level of detail vary. The chair receives a pack that reads like an anthology rather than a coherent governance document.
Material issues surface late
By the time the pack is compiled and circulated, the most consequential items often arrive in supplementary papers or verbal updates at the meeting. Directors have hours, not days, to absorb the issues that matter most.
Auditors require painful reconstruction
When external auditors or regulators ask how a board reached a decision, the company secretary spends weeks reconstructing the inputs, drafts, and approvals. The audit trail is implicit, not defensible.
Agenda alignment is manual
Aligning the agenda across the chair, CEO, GC, CFO, and committee chairs happens through email threads and last-minute calls. Items get added late, dropped without notice, or duplicated across committees.
Inputs aggregated from every function, continuously
Leah connects to the systems where governance inputs already live. Legal updates from the CLM, financial briefings from the ERP and FP&A platform, risk register from the GRC system, regulatory tracking, M&A activity, ESG metrics, employee matters, and audit committee items all flow into a single governance layer that is always current.
“Our pack used to be a stitching exercise across nine functions. Leah turned it into a single governance state we draft from. The change in cadence alone is worth the investment.”

Five steps to a continuous board pack
Leah integrates with the systems you already run. No replacement, no migration. Value from the first board cycle.
Connect
Leah integrates with your CLM, ERP, GRC, HRIS, and sustainability platforms, alongside the board portal. No replacement, no migration. Inputs flow into a shared governance layer.
Aggregate Inputs
Inputs are aggregated continuously between meetings. Legal, finance, risk, regulatory, M&A, ESG, employee, and committee inputs accumulate in a single governance state.
Draft Sections
Each section is drafted against a governance template defined by the company secretary. Tone and structure are consistent across drafters, across functions, across quarters.
Surface Material Issues
Leah applies materiality thresholds across the input set, identifies chair-level and committee-level issues, and produces a separate chair briefing ahead of the meeting.
Distribute & Log
Packs are distributed to directors through identity-bound channels with full source provenance. Every input, edit, approval, and access event is logged for audit.

No. Leah works alongside Diligent, Nasdaq, BoardEffect, and other board portals. The portal remains the distribution and meeting management layer. Leah handles aggregation, drafting, material issue surfacing, and audit trail. Final packs are pushed to the portal in the format directors already expect.
Confidentiality is enforced by committee membership. Audit committee inputs are scoped to audit committee members. Remuneration committee material is scoped to remuneration committee members. The full board sees only what the chair has approved for full board distribution. Access events are logged per director.
Materiality is defined per company across financial, regulatory, reputational, and operational dimensions. The company secretary sets thresholds during onboarding. Leah applies them consistently across every input source and every quarter. Thresholds are versioned, so historical decisions remain explainable against the framework that was in force at the time.
External inputs are accepted as documents, emails, or structured uploads. Leah parses them, classifies the relevant section, and routes them to the drafter for confirmation. The source, sender, and receipt are logged in the same audit trail as internal inputs. External counsel updates and auditor letters become first-class governance inputs.
Yes. Director annotations are captured through the board portal and linked to the section they reference. Post-meeting minutes can be cross-referenced against the specific section, input, and director comment. The governance record becomes a connected graph rather than a stack of standalone PDFs.
Leah tracks input versions continuously. If a financial figure, risk indicator, or regulatory development changes between draft and meeting, the affected section is flagged for the company secretary. The pack version is updated, the change is logged, and the chair receives an addendum briefing if the change is material.
