Ask it like you'd ask your best employee.

A straight answer

Ask in plain language — what did we charge for a job like this.

Every answer comes with the source quote attached.

Your whole wall

See every job as a sticky note on one living board.

And it comes back organized — sorted into your business's envelopes, not a pile.

Working Marchwood demo

Don't take the promise on faith. Open the box.

Explore a fictional company's connected Ledger. Search by keyword, follow relationships between projects, organizations, costs and lessons, or switch to the Family Grid when you want the records grouped instead of floating free.

Try these paths:

  • Search “steel”
  • Open a project and expand its links
  • Trace a supplier to related records
  • Switch to the Family Grid

The public version uses fictional records and limited semantic fallback. Client Ledgers run live against the approved system that holds their data.

What you bring

Hand it over as-is.

Any format

Paper, photos, spreadsheets, a drive folder — mixed and messy is fine.

No reorganizing

We do the sorting; you don't touch a thing.

Quotes & job costs

That's all it needs to start. The rest, we read.

Good in a week or two — not months. It doesn't warm up; it just needs your paper, sorted.

The lids · security tiers

Pick how tight the lid goes.

Every Bootbox, on every tier: stored in Canada, single-tenant, never used to train AI. The lid decides one thing — where the answer gets written. Finding your records works the same on all five.

1Lid on

Stored and searched in Canada. Answers written by top-tier AI over a US API — never trained on, short retention, and we tell you so up front.

For: most businesses. The everyday lid — fastest, sharpest answers.

2Locked

Same as Lid on, plus a zero-retention API and search built on our own Canadian machines — nothing about your records is kept anywhere, ever.

For: the privacy-sensitive.

3Sealed

No AI-written answers at all. You ask, Bootbox hands you the exact source documents, you read them yourself. Nothing leaves Canada, full stop.

For: anyone who wants the search without the AI writing a word.

4In Country

Full plain-language answers, written on Canadian-only infrastructure. No US API call anywhere in the chain — the question and the answer never cross the border.

For: regulated and trust-sensitive work with a hard Canadian-residency requirement.

5True In-house

The whole thing runs on a computer you own, in your building — air-gapped if you want it. We supply the software image and set it up remotely; you supply the box.

For: clinics, law offices, anyone who can't accept any cloud call at all. Priced case-by-case.

The honest part

On Lids 1 and 2, writing an answer sends the relevant passages to a US API for a moment — never kept, never trained on, but it leaves the country briefly. Lids 3 through 5 remove that entirely. We'll tell you exactly which lid you're on, and we never claim more than the lid delivers.

Why it pays

Twelve ways it pays for itself.

Run your own numbers as you read. If even two of these hit your business, the box is free — everything after that is profit.

  1. Win back revenue you already earnedSurface past customers, lapsed clients and quotes that never closed. One reactivated customer typically covers the box for a year.
  2. Get paid for every extraPull the original agreement to back a change or an add-on. One documented extra is often a $500–$2,000 line you'd have eaten.
  3. Price from actuals, not memorySee what the job, order or service really cost last time. Two points of margin on one decent job pays for months of Bootbox.
  4. Catch supplier price creepSee what you paid which supplier or vendor, and when. A quiet 4% bump across a year of orders is real money — negotiate from the facts.
  5. Stop rebuilding what you already builtRedoing a quote, proposal or letter runs 30–60 minutes. Pulling last time's takes ten seconds. Count how often that happens in your shop.
  6. End the file-digIf searching for old paper costs you three hours a week, that's 150 hours a year — nearly a month of workdays back.
  7. Get the owner off the bottleneckEvery question staff answer themselves is your time back — and the owner's hour is the most expensive hour in the building.
  8. Answer customers on the spotClient calls about an old job or invoice — you answer while they're on the phone, not "let me dig and call you back." That's the trust that wins the next job.
  9. Cut onboarding timeNew hires ask the Ledger instead of pulling your veterans off their work. Weeks off the ramp, senior hours saved twice.
  10. Stop the missesCheck how you handled it last time so a step, a line item or a follow-up doesn't slip. One missed line item can eat a whole job's margin.
  11. Audit, tax & claim-readyThe record and its source on demand for the accountant, the insurer, or the auditor. An afternoon instead of a lost week.
  12. Keep the knowledge when people leaveYour best person's twenty years of how-it's-done doesn't resign with them. It's in the Ledger for whoever's next.

The honest payback: the math only has to work once. Most owners get it back the first time they don't have to dig for an old file.
