Offboard people, not knowledge.

Prevent "brain drain" with AI-guided exits that capture critical know-how before it's gone

AI-Assisted Offboarding for Modern Teams

ExitWise is an AI-assisted offboarding platform that interviews departing employees and turns what they know into reusable playbooks, how-to videos, and operating documentation.

Why Exitwise

Offboarding That Protects Operational Continuity

Most companies lose undocumented know-how every time an employee exits. Exitwise creates a consistent, scalable offboarding process that safeguards institutional memory and reduces brain drain risk.

Single-Point Dependency

42%

of critical knowledge can be unique to one person

Tacit Knowledge Risk

60–80%

of valuable know-how is often tacit and hard to document

Transfer Readiness

4%

of companies report mature knowledge-transfer practices

What Gets Lost

The Highest-Risk Knowledge Is Usually Tacit

In many organizations, tacit knowledge can represent 60–80% of valuable institutional know-how, yet it is rarely captured before someone exits.

Tacit Knowledge

Unwritten know-how, edge-case decisions, and the “why” behind architecture and process choices.

Relational Knowledge

Vendor contacts, escalation paths, and internal networks that keep cross-functional work moving.

Process Shortcuts + Context

Efficiency tricks and historical decision context rarely make it into SOPs before someone exits.

Accelerating Risk Trends

Retirement waves and higher attrition among top performers can amplify institutional memory loss during instability.

Financial Impact

Brain Drain Has a Direct Cost to the Business

When key employees leave, teams lose both execution speed and hard-to-replace context. ExitWise helps capture that knowledge before departures create expensive operational gaps.

50%–200% Salary Replacement Cost

Replacing a single employee can cost half to double their annual salary depending on role complexity.

6–12 Month Ramp to Full Productivity

Teams can wait months before replacements are fully effective, especially in complex operational roles.

20%–30% Productivity Dip

Key departures often reduce team output for 3–6 months while critical context is rebuilt.

20%+ Extra Rediscovery Time

Remaining team members spend additional time tracking down undocumented decisions, process shortcuts, and ownership.
