For business owners who want to do better.

If you've built something worth being proud of, the next step is making sure the people side of it can stand up to scrutiny.

Founder-led teams of 10–50

You've outgrown instinct and goodwill. You don't yet need a full-time HR hire — but you do need to know where you're exposed.

No in-house HR

The job has been split across the founder, an office manager, or no one. This gives you a structured way to check it.

Employer-of-choice mindset

You want a great place to work and a defensible business. Compliance is the floor — this tool tells you where the floor is.
