For everyone on the job
Ask for it in plain English. Get the record back.
You run the company
“Ask Gordon how the quarter looks.”
He pulls project P&L, cash, and what you owe and are owed from the ledger, on your own model key.
An answer you can trace to journal entries, and the cost of asking metered by feature.
“Tell me when card charges pile up unreconciled on a job.”
A watch checks the records on a schedule and speaks only when the condition holds; Beatrix offers to process the pile.
A situation with the evidence attached, snoozed or resolved by you, never repeated in silence.
“Add a new office and let them use the same setup.”
Morpheus walks the new workspace through legal entities, roles, deliverable standards and a starter kit.
A second workspace on the same account, sharing nothing it should not.

Pricing · outcomes, not seats
You pay for results. Not for logins.
Cooper bills for the work it completes, like a drawing sheet taken off or a card charge matched and booked, at a set price for each. Every user you invite is free, and access is never billed.
- 01 Bring your whole company Office, field, subs and clients. Nobody is a seat, so nobody is left out.
- 02 Cooper does the work Takeoffs, coded invoices, booked card charges, contracts out for signature: each outcome has a set price.
- 03 Pay for what got done One itemized monthly bill. No platform fee, no contract, stop any time.
| Per-seat software | Cooper | |
|---|---|---|
| Inviting subs and clients | Another seat | Free |
| A slow month | The same bill | A smaller bill |
| Estimating, accounting, AI | Add-ons and tiers | All included |
| Commitment | Often a yearly contract | None |
