The Archive Assessment
The first step, and the first thing we do for you rather than tell you.
We take a defined slice of your household's records — whichever slice you would most like handled — and catalogue what is actually in it. You receive a written scope: what can be loaded, what cannot, what it would take, and what it would mean for the assistant to know it. Alongside the scope comes a working demonstration, built on a sample of your own material rather than on somebody else's.
You keep both, whether or not you go any further.
What it is not
It is not a trial and it is not a deposit. It is delivered work, and once we begin it is not refundable. If we can see that we cannot serve you exceptionally, we will decline the commission and return it in full rather than take it.
If you proceed
The Archive Assessment is credited in full against your founding year, and commissioning it reserves your founding number for as long as the work is open.
