Trust, Privacy & Honesty

Honest about what we do and what we don't

We would rather disclose a limitation than pretend a feature exists.

What ACC360 Helps With

Organizing asset records
Storing proof references (receipts, warranties, invoices)
Tracking expenses and changes
Tracking due dates and warranty expirations
Tracking locations and handoffs
Producing practical organizational reports

What ACC360 Does Not Claim Yet

No live bank sync in Phase 1
No real accounting or tax advice
No insurance claim automation
No guaranteed recovery of lost items
No GPS tracking
No native mobile app yet (web-based, mobile-responsive)
No real email/SMS reminders yet
No live QR/barcode scanning yet
No AI receipt extraction yet
No payment processing yet (subscription-ready foundation)

User Responsibility

Users should verify important records, keep original documents where required, and consult professionals for tax, legal, accounting, and insurance matters. ACC360 is an organizational tool, not a replacement for professional advice.

Data Boundaries & Scoping

ACC360 Phase 1B adds application-level user-scoped filtering so users normally see their own records in the app. All new records are stamped with the authenticated user's identity, and all reads filter by that identity.

Important limitation: Full backend row-level security depends on platform-level enforcement. While ACC360 filters records at the application level using user identity fields, this is not the same as enforced database-level RLS. Users with direct API access could theoretically access unscoped records. This remains a production hardening item.

Dashboard & Value Planning Honesty

Dashboard numbers depend on the accuracy of user-entered records. ACC360 cannot verify records are accurate.

Value and depreciation planning features are for personal and operational organization only. They are not tax, accounting, insurance, or legal calculations.

Beautiful dashboards that update as your records change are based solely on data you enter into ACC360.

Tester Launch Status

ACC360 is currently being prepared for controlled tester launch. Core workflows are built and tested. Known limitations are documented here and in the Production Checklist.

Backend/database RLS depends on platform-level enforcement — not yet enforced
Payment processing and subscription billing are not live
Email/SMS reminders are not live
QR/barcode scanning is not live — Asset Tag ID field is ready for future use
CSV import commit is not yet live — preview only
AI receipt extraction is not live
GPS tracking is not live
Native mobile app is not live — web app is mobile-responsive
Phase 1A orphan records without created_by_id are not visible in scoped views — migration planned

Current Launch Decision

✓ Controlled Tester Launch: Approved

ACC360 is suitable for a controlled tester launch with a small, invited group. Core workflows are built. App-level user scoping is active. All known limitations are disclosed. Broad public launch requires additional platform-level hardening.

✗ Broad Public Launch: Not Ready

Broad public launch remains pending: platform-level backend RLS confirmation, secure admin role confirmation, billing setup, orphan migration strategy, and manual screen-reader testing completion.

Why Controlled Testing Comes First

Controlled testing lets ACC360 validate real workflows — how families track appliances, how churches manage equipment, how contractors log repairs — before opening to the general public.

Controlled testers provide feedback on usability, dashboard clarity, report usefulness, and pricing interest. This feedback shapes the final product before broad public release.

A small, careful first launch also limits the exposure window while backend RLS, billing, and admin role escalations are pending with the Base44 platform team.

Controlled Tester Execution Status

ACC360 is now structured for first controlled tester execution. The first tester group should use limited, non-sensitive records or sample data while platform-level RLS, secure admin role confirmation, billing setup, orphan migration, and accessibility testing are completed.

What testers should avoid uploading during early testing:

  • Passwords or login credentials
  • Bank account numbers or financial account details
  • Tax IDs or Social Security numbers
  • Medical records or health information
  • Student records or educational documents
  • Private legal documents
  • Highly sensitive receipts or confidential business documents
  • Anything you are not comfortable sharing in a new digital tool

For initial testing, use sample data or general household and equipment records. Receipts, warranties, appliance manuals, and basic photos are fine.

Demo Request Privacy

Demo request forms should not be used to submit passwords, bank information, sensitive personal records, student records, medical records, or confidential documents. We only ask for basic contact and use-case information.

Founder / Admin Tools

Normal app views use application-level user scoping. Founder/admin cross-user review requires secure role controls and is not enabled until the platform supports it safely. Admin tools are currently limited to a safe console shell with no cross-user data access.

Controlled Demo and Sales Materials

ACC360 demo and sales pages — including the Demo Walkthrough page (/demo) and Sales One-Pager (/sales) — are designed to explain the product clearly during controlled tester and demo launch. Example dashboards, walkthroughs, and report examples shown on these pages are educational previews using illustrative numbers. They should not be mistaken for real customer data, verified financials, or guaranteed outcomes.

No real customer names, testimonials, logos, or verified savings claims appear in ACC360 demo or sales materials. Numbers shown in examples (such as "47 assets" or "$1,240 monthly expenses") are illustrative only.

Still Required Before Broad Public Launch

Platform-level backend/database row-level security — Needs Platform Support (app-level filtering active)
Real billing integration and confirmed subscription management — Needs External Setup
Secure founder/admin role enforcement for cross-user review — Needs Secure Role Confirmation
Orphan record migration tool for Phase 1A records — Blocked until secure admin role confirmed
Manual screen-reader assistive technology test — Partial (code improvements done, AT test not performed)
Full CSV import commit validation and testing
QR/barcode scanning — Future Roadmap
Email/SMS reminder notifications — Future Roadmap

A full blocker resolution audit is documented inside the app at /public-launch-blockers.

Controlled Tester Launch vs Broad Public Launch

ACC360 is being prepared for controlled tester launch. Controlled testing validates usability, dashboard value, reporting workflows, pricing feedback, and real-life organization scenarios with a small, carefully selected group of testers.

Broad public launch requires additional backend/database RLS review, billing integration, secure admin roles, and final production hardening. These items are documented in the Backend Hardening Plan, Billing Readiness Plan, and Admin Role Plan inside the app.

ACC360 will not claim broad public launch readiness until all hardening acceptance criteria are met and verified.

Security Hardening Roadmap

Platform-level row-level security (database-enforced RLS)
Server-side workspace and user boundary enforcement
Secure founder/admin role verification at the API layer
Safe orphan record migration with count-first permission gates
Public form abuse and spam mitigation (demo request, feedback)
Billing integration security review before charging users
Data export and deletion policy documentation
Privacy policy review for admin access scope

200-Person Controlled Beta

ACC360 may be mentioned to a congregation or group as a controlled beta interest opportunity for up to 200 people. This is not broad public launch. Active testing should expand in waves, and testers should use sample or non-sensitive records while security, billing, admin, orphan migration, and accessibility items remain under review.

A church mention does not equal church endorsement unless church leadership explicitly approves that later.

200 controlled beta interest participants ≠ broad public launch
Beta testing is free — billing is not live
Testers should use sample or simple non-sensitive records
Do not upload passwords, bank numbers, tax IDs, or medical records during beta
Application-level user scoping is active — platform-level RLS is awaiting confirmation

Founder Setup Status

ACC360 has preparation tools for controlled tester launch, platform escalation, billing-mode selection, and manual accessibility testing. These tools create planning records and document decisions.

Preparation records do not mean broad public launch readiness. ACC360 remains in controlled tester launch until platform responses, tester evidence, accessibility testing, and billing decisions are complete.

Escalation records prepared ≠ escalations sent
Free Controlled Testing mode set ≠ billing is live
Placeholder tester slots prepared ≠ real testers invited
AT test plan created ≠ accessibility test passed

Current Testing Guidance

ACC360 is structured for controlled testing.

Early testers should use sample records or simple non-sensitive records while platform-level data isolation, admin role verification, billing setup, orphan migration strategy, and manual accessibility testing are completed.

Do not upload passwords, bank account details, or tax IDs yet
Do not upload medical records or student records yet
Do not upload private legal documents or highly confidential contracts yet
Receipts, warranties, appliance manuals, and basic photos are fine
Sample data is available in Settings for exploration without entering real records

What Must Happen Before Wider Release

1Base44 platform response on backend row-level security (server-enforced data isolation)
2Base44 platform response on secure admin role enforcement (spoof-resistant role verification)
3Billing launch mode decision — provider configured or Free Controlled Testing formally documented
4First 3 tester sessions completed and evidence reviewed
5Manual accessibility test results logged (VoiceOver or NVDA)
6Final security and privacy review before broad public announcement

None of these have been completed yet. ACC360 will not claim broad public launch readiness until all criteria are met and verified.

Weekly Email Reports

ACC360 can send weekly summary emails when enabled. Weekly reports may include due date, expense, handoff, and asset summary information. The default detail mode is Summary Only, which shows counts rather than record details.

Weekly reports are disabled by default during controlled beta. Users must actively enable them in Settings. Users can disable weekly reports at any time.

Weekly reports are sent only to users who have enabled them.
Reports are scoped to your own records only — no cross-user data.
Email bodies are not stored in logs — only delivery counts and status.
Users should avoid storing highly sensitive records during controlled beta.
No email compliance certification is claimed. No one-click unsubscribe link is present in emails — disable in Settings.
Weekly reports are currently plain text. Branded HTML templates are not yet built.

Consecrated Excellence Standard

ACC360 is built with a commitment to usefulness, integrity, clarity, and honest product claims. We would rather disclose a limitation than pretend a feature exists. Reports and value planning estimates are organizational tools only — not tax, accounting, insurance, or legal advice.
