Business problems solved.With the right tools.And zero raw exposure.
Get AI help solving real business problems — cash flow, late payers, loan offers, tax questions — grounded in your documents, with names and account numbers stripped before any AI reads a word.
You review the exact redacted document payload before it's first sent. Redaction reduces risk; it can't guarantee every identifier is caught — your review is part of the design.
A working analyst, not a chat window.
Verified math
Reconciliations, ratios, payoff and refi math run as real computation — every figure calculated, not estimated.
Live market data
Today's rates and current tax-year figures pulled fresh and cited — so "is this loan offer fair?" gets a real answer.
Pattern radar
Compares periods and flags what's drifting: a payer slipping, a cost creeping, a balance heading the wrong way.
You review first
See exactly what the AI will receive before anything is sent. Anything ambiguous is held for your eyes, never guessed.
Bring the problems that keep you up.
Illustrative examples — your answers come from your documents, with your numbers.
Three steps between your filing cabinet and a straight answer.
Drop in the document
Bank or card statement, invoice, lease, owner statement, tax return. PDF or export — messy is fine.
Identifiers vaulted first
Names, addresses, account numbers, tax IDs — swapped for placeholders before any AI reads the page. Originals destroyed right after redaction — never retained.
Answers you can check
Numbers shown, math computed, sources cited — and placeholders translated back to real names only on your screen.
Upload. Review the redaction. Ask.
Your original file is destroyed the moment redaction completes; the session self-destructs after 60 minutes. PDF or TXT up to 8 MB.
Please don't upload: medical records, full card numbers, documents about minors, or documents you aren't authorized to share. Spreadsheets (CSV) aren't supported yet.
Waiting for a file…
Redaction reduces risk. It is not a guarantee. Our system detects and replaces identified names, addresses, account details, and other configured identifiers before any AI reads your document, and flags detected ambiguities for your review below. No automated redaction catches everything — that's why this review step exists. Read what will be sent. If something personal survived, remove it in your document and re-upload before asking. OwnerLens remains responsible for the data-handling commitments stated here; your review adds a safeguard on top.
No testimonials yet. Here's what we offer instead.
OwnerLens is a business coach first — redaction is how it earns the right to see your numbers.
"I own and operate a small business. When I wanted AI answers about my own documents, I refused to paste sensitive information — customers, vendors, account numbers — into AI chatbots, even the very well-known ones. So I built the redaction engine first, and I test every release on my own documents before it touches anyone else's. OwnerLens exists because I'm its first concerned customer."— Bobak Tamaddon, founder · business ownerRead the full story →
Redacted before analysis
Direct identifiers are replaced with placeholders before financial content reaches the AI — and you review exactly what's sent.
Originals not retained
Documents are processed and discarded — not stored, not used for training, not sitting where a breach could find them.
Nothing worth stealing
The map from placeholders to real names lives only for your session, then it's destroyed.
What we won't claim: "military-grade," "impossible to breach," or that redaction is perfect — no automated system is. Unusual formats can occasionally let an identifier through; we treat redaction as strong risk reduction, test it against an ever-growing suite of real leak patterns, and let you review what's sent. If a claim here stops being true, it comes down.

Built by a business owner who wouldn't paste his own books into a chatbot.
I'm Bobak Tamaddon. I own and operate a small business — which means my filing cabinet looks like yours: bank statements, invoices, contracts, loan documents, a tax return that raises more questions than it answers, and personal finances tangled into all of it.
When AI assistants got good enough to actually help with those documents, I had the same reaction you probably did: incredible — and I'm not uploading that. My documents carry my customers' names, my vendors, my account numbers, my addresses. "Just paste it into a chatbot" — even a very well-known one — was never an acceptable answer.
So I built the missing piece first: a redaction engine that strips every name, address, and account number before any AI reads a word — and I tested it on my own documents, hunting leaks line by line, before letting it near anyone else's. That engine, and the plain-English financial analysis behind it, became OwnerLens.
How we work
Dogfood first. Every release runs on my own books before yours. Claims you can check. No "military-grade" hand-waving — vague trust language is how people get fooled. Honest numbers. When your documents can't support an answer, OwnerLens says what's missing instead of improvising — and when a question belongs with your CPA or attorney, it says that too.
Where we are
OwnerLens is newly live. No customer logos, no testimonials — yet. What exists: a working redaction engine, a founder who runs it on real statements, and a free preview you can try right now.
The fine print, in plain English.

What OwnerLens is — and isn't.
OwnerLens is an AI business coach. It explains your documents, surfaces patterns, and helps you think through decisions. It is educational analysis. It is not financial, tax, legal, accounting, or investment advice, and using OwnerLens does not create an advisor, accountant, or attorney relationship with anyone. For decisions that matter — filings, disputes, restructuring, big money moves — confirm with a licensed professional (CPA, EA, attorney, or financial planner). OwnerLens will often point you to exactly that.
What happens to your data — the whole path, plainly.
Your file is processed transiently to extract text and detect identifiers; your original file is destroyed as soon as extraction and redaction complete — it is not retained for the rest of the session. Detected identifiers are replaced with tokens BEFORE any AI reads a word, and you review the exact redacted text before it is sent. The redacted text, your question, and the AI's answer are processed by Anthropic (Claude API) and retained by Anthropic for 30 days (required for our Fable 5 model; Anthropic's policy permits retention of up to two years for sessions flagged by its trust-and-safety systems, and longer where legally required — see Anthropic's data-retention policy) — what Anthropic holds is the tokenized version, never your original document or the key that maps tokens back to real names. That key lives only in your session and is destroyed automatically after 60 minutes or when you press End Session. OwnerLens keeps: your email and signup details if you join the list, and operational logs. Those logs record token counts, a computed cost estimate, request status, and error metadata (for example an upstream provider error code) — and never your document contents, your questions, the AI's answers, or the token↔identifier mapping. We do not log your IP address or your browser's user-agent; our hosting provider records only its own internal proxy address alongside the request method, path, and status. Do not upload documents you aren't authorized to use.
The reviewed redacted document text, your questions, relevant prior conversation history, and the AI responses are processed by Anthropic during the session.
