The questions people ask
before they begin.

Basalith builds a cognitive reference model of one person, from what they deposit and from what the people around them observe. For a business, that person is the operator, and the model transfers with the company through an acquisition or a succession. For a family, it is a parent or a grandparent, and the model stays with the people who relied on their judgment.

No. Nothing is reconstructed after the fact. A Basalith is built while the person is here and taking part. Every model is trained only on that one person’s deposits. No general AI speaks for the record. And when the person never took a position on something, the entity is built to say so instead of guessing.

It starts with The Founding: three of the hardest calls you ever made, in your own words, by voice or typed, in your own time, then a first read with the founder of Basalith by video. From there your Basalith grows through guided questions, real scenarios, voice recordings, photographs, and contributions from the people around them. Every deposit is scored before it can shape the model. Read the method →

The record is everything deposited: the answers, the recordings, the labeled photographs, the observations from others. The entity is the model trained on it. The record is the permanent asset. The entity is the instrument. If the technology changes, the record is what carries forward.

Your Basalith starts with the first deposit and there is no finish line. Milestones mark depth: 10 deposits, then 50, then 200, then 500. The longer someone deposits, the more the model has to work with. That is why the best time to start is before a transition is on the calendar.

The operator’s cognitive fingerprint is frozen at transition. The successor or acquirer gets portal access and can add today’s context, but nobody can rewrite what the operator said. How the handoff works →

Under the Legacy plan, your entity continues and your family can keep asking it questions. Your cognitive fingerprint is frozen at that point, so what you said stays exactly as you said it. Heirs can add context. Nobody can change what you built.

For a business succession, $12,000 a year plus a one-time $5,000 Founding fee. Acquisition engagements start at $50,000, scaled to the transaction. For individuals and families, a one-time $2,500 founding fee, then Active at $3,600 a year, Resting at $600 a year, or Legacy at $1,200 a year. See pricing in full →

Each contributor gets a personal link. No account, no password. They get an email and hit reply. Or they hold a button in the app and talk for two minutes. Every contribution adds something the person would never have thought to say about themselves.

English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Korean.

You own it. We are the custodian, not the owner. Your Basalith is encrypted at rest and in transit, kept in private storage, and never shared, sold, or used to train another company’s model. You can export all of it in open formats any time you ask, so nothing is stranded if we ever close. Data ownership → Security →

Yes. The demo runs on a fictional founder and the same pipeline as production. Ask it something. Then ask it something the founder never answered, and watch what it does. Open the demo →

For a person or a family, begin directly. Your name, your email, and the first call: fifteen to thirty minutes, by voice or typed, on your own time. There is no application and no approval. When the call is in, your Basalith answers one question in your own words and declines one it has no grounds for. For a business succession or an acquisition, it starts with a conversation instead, and we reply within 48 hours.
