Frequently asked questions
No — it's for building-specific operational chatter. Use Slack for general company chat. Use SAMRISK discussions for everything tied to a specific building.
Why it matters
Building-specific decisions get made on email threads, WhatsApp groups, and texts. Six months later, no one can find the original conversation. SAMRISK discussions keep every operational conversation attached to the building it belongs to — searchable, archivable, and accessible to whoever takes over the role next.
