Questions

No. A CRM tracks your prospects and clients — BABA tracks your business from the inside out. BABA won't manage your contact database or your sales pipeline. What it does instead is analyze your business health, flag early warning signs, help you set and track goals, and advise on the decisions you face as an owner. Think of it as an AI business analyst, not a contact manager.

No. BABA doesn't record transactions, manage invoices, or replace your accountant. What it does is interpret your business signals — revenue trends, team capacity, goal progress — and help you understand what they mean. BABA is designed to work alongside your accounting software (QuickBooks, Wave, Xero), not compete with it.

Lattice and 15Five are HR platforms built for managers at mid-sized companies: performance reviews, engagement surveys, OKR tracking at scale. BABA is built for the business owner — especially owners running 1–30 person teams who don't have an HR department. BABA adds what those tools don't: a CEO-level dashboard, burnout detection, role clarity, financial signals, and an AI advisor who knows your specific situation. You don't need an HR team to use BABA. You just need to want to run your business better.

Not primarily. BABA includes project and contract tracking, but that's one component of a larger business-health picture — not the core product. If you need deep task and sprint management, keep using the tool you already have. BABA connects to the business layer above the tasks: are the right projects moving? Is the team sustainable? Are you on track with goals?

BABA is built for small business owners running 1–30 person teams, with a dedicated tier for healthcare practices. That includes solopreneurs who want a clearer view of their business, growth-stage founders managing a team, and practice owners (physical therapy, chiropractic, dental, mental health) who need industry-specific signals alongside the standard business metrics. BABA is not designed for enterprise companies or teams that already have a full analytics stack.

The BABA Guide is an AI advisor trained on your business data — your goals, your team signals, your KPIs, your projects. You ask it questions in plain English and it answers from your actual context, not generic advice. "Why are my retention numbers down?" gets a real answer based on your data. "What should I focus on this week?" returns a prioritized recommendation, not a template. It's business analysis that knows your business.

Yes. Your data is never used to train AI models, never shared with other BABA customers, and never sold to third parties. BABA uses your data only to power your own dashboard and AI Guide. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Healthcare tier customers can request a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for HIPAA compliance. See our Privacy Policy and Data Transparency page for the full picture.

Founding Members are the early-access cohort who help shape BABA before the public launch. In exchange, your rate is locked in permanently at 20–30% below the public list price — as long as you stay subscribed. We don't offer free trials because the founding cohort is intentionally small, and we treat those spots as a partnership, not a test drive. If you want to see BABA before joining, book a demo with Elise.

Yes on both. Cancel from your account settings with one click — no phone calls, no hoops. We retain your data for 30 days in case you change your mind. Upgrade any time and it takes effect immediately. Downgrades apply at your next billing cycle. Founding Member pricing is locked to your chosen tier; upgrading adds to your locked rate, not resets it.

BABA connects with QuickBooks for financial data and supports Google and Microsoft sign-in for easy access. The integration roadmap includes additional accounting, EHR, and payroll connections — especially for the Healthcare tier. If there's a specific integration that would make BABA essential for your business, tell us: founding members shape the roadmap.
