Capture
Activity is captured automatically.
Uploads, schema changes, joins, insights, exports, and reviews are recorded as they happen. There is no separate logging step, and nothing relies on people remembering to write down what they did.
Audit & Compliance
A trail your auditors will not have to chase.
Activity, decisions, and outputs are recorded as they happen, with traceability back to the inputs and actions that produced them.
Designed for regulated work.
How the trail works
Audit logging is integrated into platform operations, not a separate product.
Most teams discover that their audit trail has a hole in it the week before a review. Northwind is built so the recording happens automatically, at the same level the work does.
Decisions
Decisions, not just clicks.
A useful audit trail does not just say "user X clicked Y." It says what changed, who approved it, and what they were looking at. Northwind records the surrounding context (version, source, and reviewer) alongside each event.
Traceability
Trace any output back to its inputs.
Outputs maintain traceability to the inputs and actions that produced them, so when someone asks how a number was reached, you have the path, not a memory.
Workflows
Reviewable workflows where you need them.
Review workflows can be configured for teams that require approvals. When configured, the approval is captured alongside the rest of the trail, not as a separate document you have to keep in sync.
