Straight answers to the questions tribes ask.
Plain answers, one question at a time. If your question is not here, ask us and we will add it.
- Does it work offline? Yes. It runs entirely on your own computers and makes no network calls, so it works with the internet unplugged.
- Does the AI send anything to the cloud? No. The AI runs locally on your own computers. It reads, drafts, and checks work on your hardware, and no case, name, or record is sent to an outside company to be stored or used to train anything.
- Where is our data stored? On your own hardware, encrypted, with an encrypted backup you keep off site. There is no cloud account and no outside party that can read it, because only you hold the keys.
- Can records be changed or deleted without anyone knowing? No. Every create, edit, and filing is signed and linked into a chain, so every change stays visible and every record is kept.
- Is it only for courts? No. It runs the whole government on one record model, turned on one part at a time: enrollment, council, courts, finance, and licensing. You start wherever the need is sharpest.
- How do you get started? With the part of your government that needs it most, on a machine you own. We stand it up with your staff so the procedures are captured, not just handed over, and each later step builds on the same system.
- What does it cost? It is a one-time investment on hardware you already have, not a per-seat subscription. We scope it to fit your timeline and budget, including grant funding, in a short conversation.
- Does it replace the clerk? No. It makes the clerk's job possible to hand off. It puts the procedures into the system, so the office keeps running and a new clerk can do the work without decades of memory.
- Is it built for ICWA and family matters? Yes. It handles ICWA and family matters grounded in your own code. The tribe is treated as a party where the code requires it, and the deadlines and notice rules come straight from your ordinances.
- What hardware do we need? Ordinary computers you already own. It installs as a normal app, runs on a single office machine to start, and grows to a shared server later without redoing the work.
- How does backup and recovery work? Records are backed up to an encrypted drive you keep off site. If a machine ever fails, you restore onto another one and are running again in minutes, and nobody who finds the drive can read a thing.
- Who can see our data? Only you. Access is set by role, so a judge, a clerk, and a treasurer each see what their job needs, and no outside company can read any of it.
