What is CIS?

The short answer, in plain English — what it actually does for you, not how it works underneath.

Updated 1 Nov 2026

The one-line answer

In a sentence
CIS is a connection intelligence system. It remembers every person you've spoken to, understands what matters to them, and helps you make the right introduction at the right time — so your network turns into real connections, not just names in a list.

What it actually does for you

It never forgets a relationship

Every conversation, note and call is kept in one place against the right person — so you never turn up to a second conversation having lost the thread of the first.

It tells you who's worth reaching out to, and why

Rather than scrolling a long contact list guessing where to start, CIS looks at your whole network and surfaces who matters most today — with a plain-English reason, not just a name.

It helps you make warm introductions, properly

When two people could genuinely help each other, CIS surfaces the connection for you to act on — see how consent works before anything is ever sent.

Who it's for

Solo consultants & coaches

Carry a living memory of every relationship. Know who to introduce to whom, and never let a valuable connection go cold.

Communities of members

Each member keeps their own network private unless they switch on Introductions; then other members see their name and how many people fit what they are looking for, by role. Nothing is pooled, and nobody is introduced without a yes.

Enterprises

A governed relationship-intelligence layer where quality and lifecycle are enforced by design, not left to individual memory.

What it isn't

Not a spreadsheet you have to fill in
CIS isn't a contacts list you maintain by hand. You bring your network once, and CIS does the ongoing work of understanding it — the intelligence is the point, not the storage.
