How you get started
Trust is earned, not asked for.
You shouldn't have to hand over your business to learn whether a tool is worth it. Sidecar follows a progressive trust model: four tiers, each useful on its own, each earning the next through outcomes you can measure.
01
Vendor Intelligence
You give: Upload contracts, invoices, and renewal notices.
You get: Risks, savings opportunities, and recommended actions — a Vendor Review you can act on the same day.
What changes: You see real money on the table before you've connected a thing.

02
Business Snapshot
You give: Drop in exports, performance summaries, and reports.
You get: Executive Briefings and full Business Reviews that interpret performance across revenue, customers, inventory, marketing, and operations.
What changes: Sidecar starts to understand how your business actually runs.
03
Connected Intelligence
You give: Connect a data source and set a schedule.
You get: Sidecar ingests and analyzes on its own — recurring intelligence without re-uploading.
What changes: Analysis becomes continuous instead of something you remember to do.
04
AI Chief of Staff
You give: Share strategic context and priorities.
You get: Proactive, cross-cutting guidance — a weekly briefing and live signals that surface what needs your attention before you ask.
What changes: Sidecar moves from answering questions to raising the right ones.
No tier requires the next. Every tier stands alone.
Most platforms ask for everything up front and deliver value later. Sidecar inverts it. Start at Tier 1, keep what's useful, and go deeper only when the results have earned your trust. Your data stays yours, isolated to your workspace, at every step.
