The memory.
A markdown folder that holds everything about your business in human-readable files. Not a database that locks you in. Open the folder and read it yourself.
How the
replacement
actually works.
Three phases. An audit, a build, a savings split. Then a private brain that comes with every build, free.
phase 01
The audit.
$500. Two business days.
Simon walks through your software stack the way a mechanic walks through a car. Not the brochure version. What's actually on the credit card statement, what your team actually opens, and where the spend is doing nothing.
Each tool gets rated on three things: what you're paying, how much of it you use, and how hard it would be to replace. You get an effort-and-impact matrix back as a PDF, plus blunt recommendations. If a tool isn't worth replacing, the report says so.
Most of the value of an audit isn't the recommendation. It's the moment you see all nine subscriptions on one page and realise three of them are charging you for a feature you forgot you turned on.
If we find nothing worth replacing, you pay $500 and learn something about your stack. Some shops use the report to renegotiate with their existing vendor. That counts as a win too.
phase 02
The build.
4 to 16 weeks. Quoted.
After the audit, you pick what to replace first. We write the replacement and deploy it on a server you control. Not on our infrastructure. You own the hardware, you control the data, and if you fire us tomorrow the software keeps running. That's the difference between us and every SaaS vendor you've worked with.
What you get: open code, documented, deployed, and tested against your real workflow. Not a demo, not a prototype. A production system your team uses on Monday morning.
How long: a dispatch replacement for a five-tech HVAC shop runs 4 to 8 weeks. A full field service suite runs 8 to 16 weeks. The audit report includes a timeline for each piece.
What happens to the old software: when the replacement is live and your team is working on it, you call the old vendor and end the subscription. That's when the savings clock starts.
phase 03
The savings split.
50% of monthly savings for 36 months.
We take half of your verified monthly savings for 36 months. Verified means the old subscription is cancelled and the replacement is running. After 36 months, the software is yours free. No renewal, no escalation, no clawback.
You can end the split at any time. The code is yours from day one. Stop paying us and the software keeps running. There's no kill switch and no penalty.

The private brain.
Memory. Brain. Surfaces.
Most small businesses keep their thinking in a dozen places. A CRM nobody updates. A Drive nobody can find. An inbox the owner can't escape. A notebook in someone's bag. When a question comes up like "who did we quote last month for that big job," the answer takes an hour to dig up, or it never gets dug up at all.
Every replacement we ship includes one private brain that remembers everything for you, that you talk to like a person, and that gets sharper the more you use it. The folder lives on your hardware. You can read it yourself. If we disappear tomorrow, you can hand it to anyone competent and it keeps running.
The brain.
An AI model that reads the memory, answers questions, and writes drafts. Run it locally for full privacy, or use a hosted model if cost matters more. You pick.
The surfaces.
A chat window on your phone, your desktop, or a Slack channel the whole team can talk to. Same brain, wherever you are.
It's not the same as a chatbot you've used before. The chatbot you've used before forgets you between sessions. This one doesn't. It reads your customer list, your past quotes, your invoices, your notes. Ask it "which customers haven't bought in 90 days" or "what's the average ticket on Tuesdays" or "who did we send a quote to last month that never wrote back." You ask. It tells you.

What we won't do.
No lock-in.
The code is yours from day one. Cancel the savings split and keep running the software. There's no penalty, no clawback, no kill switch.
No proprietary formats.
Your data stays in standard formats on hardware you control. Nothing is encoded in a way only we can read.
No hidden fees.
The audit is $500. The savings split is 50% for 36 months. That is the entire price structure.
No disappearing after launch.
Simon answers the phone when something breaks on a Friday afternoon. That's part of the deal.

Start with a conversation.
Fifteen minutes on the phone. We'll ask what you're paying, what's broken, and whether a replacement makes sense. If it doesn't, we'll tell you.
