Your business already remembers. The trouble is that the memory is spread across mailboxes, spreadsheets, notes and a database, and no one person holds all of it.
The retainer changed in March. The reason is in a call note. The person who knew both left in June. When a client rings, somebody spends twenty minutes reconstructing the last year from three inboxes, and still walks in missing the one thing that mattered.
Every AI tool you own has the same difficulty in a worse form. It starts from nothing every morning, because nobody has given it what happened here before.
You point it at what you already have. A folder of documents, an email export, a spreadsheet, or your live database. It reads the structure, works out who the clients are and which records belong to whom, and answers one question properly:
Tell me everything about this client before I walk into the room.
The answer is a page. Not a dashboard, not a search box, not a diagram of dots and lines. A page you could hand to somebody who has never seen the software.
That last line is the part we are proudest of. Skein tells you what it does not know. Nothing else in this market does, because admitting a gap looks like weakness until the first time a confident answer turns out to be wrong in front of a client.
Ten million invoices do not become ten million records inside Skein. They become one summary per client and a pointer back to the rows, which stay where they are. The totals are real, counted over every row. In the largest migration we have measured, fifteen million of the fifteen point seven million rows cost three seconds between them, because they are summarised inside the database and never leave it.
Skein reads structure: column names, foreign keys, mail headers, dates. It makes no calls to any model, so there is no per-record cost, no invented facts, and nothing sent to anybody. It runs on your own hardware, offline if you like. A test fails the build if any module capable of opening a network connection becomes reachable from the importer.
When the retainer changes, the old figure is not overwritten. It is marked as having ended, so the brief can say $2,800 a month, and it was $2,400 until March. Most systems can only tell you what is true now, which is no help at all when the question is what you agreed and when.
Every one of those is reproducible from a command in the product's own repository. Where a number is a projection rather than a measurement, we say so on the same line.
Start with Install even if you can afford Build. It ends with a real brief on your own clients, and you will know within a fortnight whether the rest is worth having.
No SOC 2 certification and no HIPAA agreement. For an install where your data never leaves your own machine, the security question is about your building rather than ours. That is a fair argument and it is not a certificate, so if your industry requires one, we are not ready for you yet and we would rather say so now.
Matching up names is genuinely hard. Everyone in this field claims to have solved it and nobody has. We put the doubtful ones in a list and ask you, which we have measured as more accurate than deciding automatically.
No. It sits beside your existing systems and reads them. Nothing is migrated, nothing is switched off, and if you stop using Skein your data is exactly where it was.
It is yours and it never was ours. One command writes the whole graph out in an open, documented format that any tool can read without our software.
The first brief comes out of the first import, usually the same afternoon. The two weeks are spent making it right rather than making it exist.
