Tonic No. 05 · The Chambers
Site, qualifying intake, matter billing and a client area.
Formulated for Legal, notarial, architectural and surveying practices of two to fifteen.
Every kit ships with one layout. You set the palette, the typeface and the logo — and that is deliberately where it stops, because a layout you can move is a layout that goes wrong.
A structured intake that qualifies the matter before it reaches a fee earner, and says no politely when it should.
Structured intake.
Assess my caseYour identity, our structure. Live in three weeks.
The kit as it ships. Your palette, typeface and logo go in; the layout and the spacing stay exactly as they are. Try it: the swatches below restyle the sample, and nothing else moves.
Written out in full, because a feature list of three words each is how people end up buying the wrong thing.
Asks what a partner would ask, routes clear non-matters to a short honest answer and a referral, and books a paid consultation for the rest. The single highest-value part of this kit.
Fixed fee, taken at booking, credited against the matter if it opens. Turns unbilled diagnosis into a product.
One record per matter: parties, dates, documents, status and what was agreed. Segregated with role-based access.
Runs against existing parties before a matter can be opened, and flags rather than blocks.
Bill through a long matter instead of at the end, with automatic reminders at 14 and 28 days in your register.
Documents, matter status and invoices, which removes most of the “any update?” traffic from your inbox.
Start a timer from a matter, or add time afterwards from a calendar entry. Deliberately light — the point is capture, not surveillance.
Retention per matter type, access logged, and export on demand for a subject access request.
The most useful list on this page. If you need any of these, this kit is the wrong purchase and we would rather you knew now.
Needing something on this list is not a problem — it is just a different route. The Diagnosis exists for exactly that, and the fee comes off a Treatment.
Buying means you host it and it is yours, with the source code. Renting means we host it, update it and answer the phone. Same software either way.
Buy it (full size)
€3,900 once
Yours outright, source code included. You host it — any static host plus a small database if the kit needs one, typically €5 to €25 a month. No licence, nothing expires.
Rent it (refill)
€165 per month
We host it, keep it patched, back it up and answer when something is wrong. Cancel in any month and take your data with you. Nothing to install and nothing to maintain.
Buying with installation costs €4,800. At €165 a month, renting costs more than that after about 29 months — so if you expect to keep it longer than that and do not mind hosting, buy it. We would rather say that than have you find out in year three.
Break-even
Anyone who needs a credible front door and nothing behind it yet. See it.
