CUSTOMER-OWNED COLLABORATION
A private client room without another data-hungry workspace.
A fixed-scope deployment of Element and the open Matrix protocol on infrastructure you control. Invite-only encrypted rooms, a documented handover, and no invented cryptography.

TWO-MINUTE FIT CHECK
Find out whether the fixed pilot fits.
Choose broad, non-sensitive answers. This check runs entirely in your browser: it makes no network request, uses no analytics, and stores nothing.
Readiness result
The email opens in your mail app and includes only the six choices above. Review it before sending; do not add credentials, messages, customer data, or recovery keys.
FIXED SCOPE
Enough to put a real client room into service.
- One customer-owned Ubuntu server and domain
- Element plus a Matrix homeserver
- Invite-only, end-to-end-encrypted rooms by default
- Up to 10 initial accounts and three rooms
- TLS, limited federation, and no product analytics
- Encrypted-backup and routine-update procedures
- Administrator handover and seven days of deployment-fault fixes
HONEST PRIVACY BOUNDARY
Private does not mean invisible.
End-to-end encryption is designed to keep room contents from the homeserver, but the server still handles account and delivery metadata. Infrastructure logs may contain IP addresses. Device verification and recovery keys matter; losing recovery material can make encrypted history unrecoverable. These limits are included in the handover instead of buried in marketing copy.
The deployment operator does not need message plaintext, recovery keys, or a permanent administrator login. Temporary deployment access is removed at handover.
ACCEPTANCE
You pay after the agreed checks pass.
- Two fresh devices can sign in and verify one another.
- An invited client can join the intended room, while an uninvited account cannot.
- Messages and an attachment sync between verified devices.
- A backup completes and the documented restore preflight succeeds.
- Temporary operator access is removed and the customer holds the administrator and recovery material.
Not included
Compliance certification, penetration testing, guaranteed anonymity, custom clients, data migration, regulated-data approval, or third-party licence and hosting fees. Scope changes are quoted before work starts.
