Finance announced an audit and I discovered our permits and contracts from last year are scattered. I need to set retention and folder rules now so completed contracts and permits are archived and discoverable. I am cautious about over‑restricting access. Recommend the minimal retention rules and folder structure that satisfy auditors but keep project teams able to work, list any metadata fields I must capture, and give the short instruction I can send to the office to implement it.
