Inherit vs. Email threads
Reply-all chains, missing attachments, and outgoing reps who left last Tuesday. Email handoffs lose critical context by design — Inherit preserves it by default.

Email handoffs look different every time. One rep sends a 14-thread chain. Another sends a Word doc. A third sends nothing. There's no standard and no enforcement.
With email, the handoff is only as complete as the outgoing rep chooses to make it. Important context gets omitted — not always intentionally, but consistently.
Three months after a handoff, can anyone find the email thread? Is the information still accurate? There's no place where the canonical account brief lives.
“The previous rep sent a 14-email thread and a Word doc. I spent 3 days reading it and still missed a key detail that almost killed the renewal.”
