Good morning. It’s already done.

A team of AI workers on your own server does the paperwork before you get in. You approve. That is the whole job now.

The proof · ready for lawyers

We learned this where mistakes are least forgiven.

Sailwork has run a Romanian law practice’s back office every working day for months. There, a wrong date loses a case.

Not a plan. This is what it does this morning, shown on Severin & Partners, our demonstration firm.

A tall stack of tabbed case files on the table of a bright law-office meeting room; beside it a lawyer reads a page.
1,046 pages. Read page by page. An illustration from Severin & Partners, our demonstration firm. The businesses, clients, cases, figures and quotations in these panels are invented: not a measured result, a real case or a record of work done for a client.

  • 01 · The law library

    It quotes. It does not paraphrase.

    The article, word for word, with its edition date and official source.

  • 02 · Kept current

    Every article carries its edition date, and it says so when the library is more than three weeks old.

  • 03 · Court portal watch

    The courts are read before the lawyers wake.

    Every followed case, at 06:30. Only changes are reported.

  • 04 · Clients and cases

    The register is kept by talking.

    “New case for Halvard, hearing on the 14th.” No forms.

  • 05 · Deadlines

    The reminder finds the lawyer in the first conversation of the day.

  • 06 · A thousand pages

    The whole file is read, page by page.

    Scans included. Every quotation checked against its page.

  • 07 · Templates

    The firm’s own documents fill themselves.

    A field it cannot fill is marked, never invented.

  • 08 · Contracts

    Back with tracked changes.

  • 09 · The other side

    Any company, checked in a sentence.

If it can be trusted with a hearing date, it can be trusted with your invoices.

Who did all that

A team. Not a chatbot.

“And when it’s wrong?”

Three rules it never breaks.

  1. 1

    It prepares. You approve.

    You set the leash in a sentence: invoices under €500 go on their own; anything to the tax office waits for me.

  2. 2

    Every number shows its source.

    Tap a figure, see the document.

  3. 3

    Everything has a way back.

    Every action is logged. Entries can be undone.

Where it lives

On your server. Under your key.

Your files, records and memory live on one machine that is yours. Each request goes to the AI provider you chose. Choose a model inside your own building, and nothing leaves at all.

Option one

Managed

We look after it like a caretaker with a key.

  • Every visit we make is in a log you can read.
Option two

Owner-held

We install it, hand you the keys, and lock ourselves out.

  • One command shows everyone who can sign in. We are not on the list.
  • Never married to one AI.

  • Keep the bank and the programs you use.

  • Leave with everything, in ordinary files.

  • Romanian and English in the same breath.

The modules

Switch on what your business does.

One switch each, turned on for you by whoever looks after your server.

5 on. Law library, court watch, cases, deadlines, templates, dossier reports. The first module, and the most mature.

How it starts

Installed Thursday. Working Monday.

No project. Four days, and the fourth is a Sunday.

  1. Thursday

    We install

    Your server, your modules.

  2. Friday

    It reads

    Two years of your paperwork.

  3. The weekend

    It asks

    Twenty good questions, on WhatsApp.

  4. Monday 06:00

    Your first brief

    Three lines: what is due, what came in, what needs your yes.

Indicative prices
Installation

2,000 EUR + VAT

Half upfront, half after a successful first month of use.

Maintenance

250 EUR per month + VAT

Payments start in month 3. The installation price covers a one-month trial and one month of maintenance.

One price for the company, not per person. Add a colleague, the bill does not change.

What you pay others from day one, as an estimate
  • Small teamabout 35 EUR a month (about 15 server + 20 AI subscription)
  • Busy teamabout 125 EUR a month (about 25 server + 100 AI subscription)

Paid directly to the providers; we add nothing on top. The AI subscription is with OpenAI or Anthropic, your choice.

Isn’t it expensive?

The last software you’ll need to go shopping for.

When your company needs something new — a report, a reminder, a client list, a tool nobody sells — Sailwork builds it and keeps it running.

That means the next ten small tools and per-seat subscriptions. Your accounting program and your bank stay as they are.

What does it cost?

The indicative prices are just above.

Who can see my data?

Owner-held: you, and nobody else. Managed: we hold a key, and every visit is logged for you to read.

Does my accountant lose her job?

She keeps it and likes it more: clean books, a complete pack, her own sign-in.

Does my team need training?

They write to it, the way they write to each other.

Can it spend my money?

It prepares. You approve. You decide how far its own authority goes.

What if you disappear?

It is your server. It keeps running, on ordinary files you can open without us.

Next Monday, 06:00.

Your phone lights up. Three lines. The paperwork already happened.

Tell us what you need.

Name and a way to reach you are enough. We answer in a day, usually sooner.

Prefer e-mail? sever@escattle.io

We use what you write here only to answer you.
