✓02 Build the smallest useful fix Connect only what the first measurable outcome needs, with safe stop and review paths.
✓03 Prove and hand it over Test real scenarios, compare the baseline, document the system, and decide what comes next.

A practical tool for a specific operational job, with less setup and less clutter.
Encrypted vendor records

Expiration tracking
See which W-9s and supporting certificates need attention before they become a problem.
Import and export

Clear about what is ready
We are preparing checkout, signing, licensing, and downloads. The page will switch to purchase actions only after the customer artifacts are verified.
Desktop app
The local desktop build is functional. Final checkout, licensing, signing, and customer download packaging still need to be connected.
Frequently asked questions
Can W-9 Collector track vendor documents locally?
Yes. The core desktop workflow is local-first, with encrypted sensitive fields and files. Optional hosted intake is only offered after the production service is configured and verified.
Where should we start?
Start with one repeated, costly, delayed, or fragile workflow. Document how it works today and choose an observable result before discussing tools.
Do we need to replace our current systems?
Usually not. The first option is to improve the handoffs around the systems your team already uses. Replacement is considered only when the current tool is the constraint.
What stays under human control?
People keep responsibility for unusual, sensitive, expensive, regulated, or relationship-heavy decisions. Approval and stop paths are defined before launch.
How is scope and pricing determined?
Scope depends on systems, data, exceptions, access, risk, and handoff requirements. You receive a defined scope and ownership plan before paid implementation begins.
How Custom AI Works delivers
1. Map the real workflow
We map the highest-cost workflow first — the calls, forms, inboxes, CRMs, and handoffs involved — before anything is built.
2. Build the smallest useful fix
A scoped build with approval gates and human-in-the-loop exception paths, around the tools you already use.
3. Prove it in production
The workflow runs live with logs your team can inspect, so value is proven — not promised.
4. Hand over ownership
Docs, logs, and the code itself are yours. No lock-in, no renting your own system back.
