Question 1

What is Boardwise Engine?

Accepted Answer

Boardwise Engine is a governance compliance tool: you upload your bylaws, constitution, and policies once, and it extracts every rule, threshold, and requirement into a governance profile. From then on, every document you submit — minutes, financial reports, resolutions, AGM packages — is checked against your own rules, not a generic checklist.

Question 2

What is the Board Workspace?

Accepted Answer

Every organization account includes a private board workspace: a channel for the full board, private committee channels, a shared document library, and formal motions with recorded votes. Directors are emailed when a vote opens, votes can close automatically at a deadline, and the Motions Register prints the official record — including how each member voted — straight into your minutes.

Question 3

How much does Boardwise Engine cost?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan ($0, forever) includes one organization profile, one uploaded governing document, and one compliance check per month. Pro is $29/month for growing boards, and the Consultant plan is $99/month for advisors managing multiple client organizations.

Question 4

Is the AI governance advisor legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. The advisor provides governance analysis for board discussion — it cites the specific sections of legislation (like the Alberta Societies Act or the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act) and your own bylaws that govern a situation, and recommends procedural steps. Significant decisions should always be confirmed with legal counsel licensed in your jurisdiction.

Question 5

Which laws does Boardwise check against?

Accepted Answer

The legislation index currently covers the Alberta Societies Act, the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (federal), and IRS 501(c)(3) requirements for US organizations, alongside your organization's own governing documents.
