I am going to heretically disagree with some of this conversation.

IMHO, I do not think it is a good investment of time and resources to conduct detailed, document-centric inventories in order to develop a business function-based retention schedule. It is also not necessary. The business function-based retention schedule will be workable if you have only an "illustrative" list of record types, as opposed to an exhaustive list.

This DOES require re-thinking how retention works in practice as well as in theory.

Let the storm descend !
