Questions, answered honestly

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how Dossier works — what it makes, how fast it is, how pricing works, and how your data is handled. Straight answers, no fluff.

The basics
What is Dossier?

Dossier is AI knowledge-work, done and delivered to your inbox. You email your data or a task to hello@joindossier.com, and an AI analyst returns the finished work — a spreadsheet, dashboard, deck, document, or research brief — typically within about an hour.

There's nothing to install and no tool to learn. If you can send an email, you can use Dossier. It's a working product, but an early one — we're pre-revenue and building with our first customers.

What can it make?

If a sharp human analyst could make it, Dossier can deliver it. Common outputs:

Spreadsheets & models — formula-driven workbooks, financial models, trackers, reconciliations. Dashboards & reports — visual, decision-ready summaries from raw rows. Decks & presentations — board updates, sales decks, investor materials. Documents & briefs — memos, SOPs, summaries, write-ups. Research & analysis — market scans, competitor breakdowns, synthesized findings.

Every job comes back as a real, editable file — not a chat reply. See examples for sample deliverables.

How fast is it?

Most jobs come back within about an hour. Quick tasks can be faster; deep, multi-source research or complex models may take longer. Either way, it's a fraction of the days a human analyst would need — and Dossier doesn't keep business hours.

We'll always tell you if a job needs more time than usual rather than leave you guessing.

Pricing
How does pricing work?

It's simple — three options, no seats and no software to operate. Try your first job for a flat $10, grab a $25 starter pack when one job turns into a few, or put your analyst on Pro at $200/mo for ongoing recurring and on-demand work.

$200/mo is the founding rate — locked for life for early customers. Whatever you pick, you see the watermarked preview before you pay. Full details live on the pricing page.

One-off vs Pro — which should I pick?

One-off — the $10 first job or the $25 starter pack — is right when you have occasional, unpredictable tasks: a model here, a deck there. You only pay for what you run, no plan required.

Pro ($200/mo, founding rate locked for life) is the better fit if you want standing, recurring deliverables — the "newspaper about your business," every week — plus on-demand jobs on a flat monthly rate. Running serious volume or need a fully done-for-you setup? That's a Custom / Enterprise conversation — just get in touch.

Not sure? Start with the $10 first job. If you find yourself coming back, moving up to Pro is easy. Compare them on the pricing page.

What if a report misses the brief?

If a deliverable misses what you asked for, you get one free rerun — send back what was off and we'll redo it at no charge. Because you also see a free preview before paying, you'll rarely be surprised, but the rerun is there as a backstop.

We're early and we'd genuinely rather get it right than win an argument. Just reply to the delivery email.

Preview & data
What is the preview — "see it before you pay"?

Every job comes back first as a free, watermarked preview — the real deliverable, built on your actual data, not a mockup. You can look it over and judge the exact work before spending a cent.

The preview is leak-proof and view-only: it can't be cleaned up or extracted, so the usable, editable file only exists once you pay. If the preview isn't what you wanted, you simply don't unlock it — no charge.

Is my data safe?

Your data is used only to produce your deliverable, and it's never sold. We ask you to send only what a job needs — and to redact anything you don't want shared.

As an early-stage product we're still maturing our formal controls, and we'll always be straight with you about where things stand. For the current details on how we handle your information, see our privacy policy, or just ask at hello@joindossier.com.

Getting started & company
How do I get started?

Email hello@joindossier.com with your task. Attach a spreadsheet, paste a question, or just describe the outcome you want — no setup, no onboarding call.

We'll do the work and send back a free watermarked preview. If it's what you needed, you pay to unlock the clean, editable file. That's the whole loop. See how it works for the step-by-step.

Who is it for?

Anyone who needs analyst-grade output but doesn't have an analyst on call — founders, operators, small teams, consultants, and busy professionals who'd rather describe an outcome than build it themselves.

If you've ever thought "I just need someone to turn this data into a clean report," that's exactly the gap Dossier fills — without the cost of hiring.

What does "by Ullmanac" mean?

Ullmanac is the holding company that builds and operates Dossier. "Dossier, by Ullmanac" just signals who stands behind the product. You don't need to think about Ullmanac to use Dossier — you deal with Dossier directly at hello@joindossier.com.
