Why Savoir exists

A board answers the same questions every month, while the answers are already written down in its own documents. Savoir is what makes them readable.

What a board lives with today

None of it is for want of goodwill: it is volunteer work, repeated, that nobody has the time to do twice.

The same twelve questions
Co-owners ask the same questions every month: the contingency fund, pets, noise, the works. The answer already exists, somewhere.
Two hundred pages as an attachment
A member is handed the declaration of co-ownership as a PDF and wished good luck. Nobody reads past page three.
Evenings spent answering by hand
The board answers in the evening, by e-mail, some forty times a year, looking the article up itself every time.

The community’s own documents do the answering, and they name what they stood on.

Cited, or nothing
Every answer names the document and the section it came from. An answer with no source is not shown.
It says when it does not know
When the documents do not answer, Savoir says so and passes the question to the board instead of guessing.
The Civil Code, kept apart
In Québec the Civil Code’s articles are cited in a group of their own, under the legal-information notice. They are never mixed into the building’s own documents.
In both languages
Every screen and every e-mail exists in French and in English. A member reads in the language they chose.
Live in one evening
A volunteer board uploads its documents, invites its members and sees the first answers the same evening.

Better said plainly: this product is built by one person, and its pace follows from that.

One person
Savoir is designed, written and supported by one person, in Québec, for the communities here first and elsewhere after.
Phases, not dates
Features arrive in the plan’s order, and no delivery date is promised to anybody.
The first paying community
The milestone is neither a funding round nor a launch: it is the first community that pays because the product is useful to it.
Built on a platform
Savoir is an application generated by the platform that deploys it and receives its crash reports.

A question, a doubt, a community that resembles no other: the message goes straight to them.
