Now selecting | Victorian firms
We are building the standard with the firms that will be held to it.
Kellon is in development. Before general availability, we are working with a small number of Victorian firms to shape what it produces and how it runs.
What you shape
The record, not the interface.
The evidence pack a firm receives at the end of a session is the product. Its contents, its order, the language it uses, and what it makes obvious to a reader who was not present are all open questions - and questions practitioners are better placed to answer than we are.
Design partners review the format directly, against real matters, and tell us where it would fail. Where a firm's practice is already stronger than our draft, the draft changes.
Open questions
Should the pack state what the practitioner observed, or only what the system recorded?
How much should a registrar see on the first page?
What belongs in the pack that is currently in the file note?
What we ask
A capped commitment, front-loaded
< 8
Hours, across 3 months.
A 30 minute first conversation. Two workflow sessions of about 90 minutes, with the people who actually run signings. Two shorter reviews of the evidence pack format. A 30 minute check-in each month.
Beyond that
Matters you would run anyway
We ask that the firm run remote signings it was already going to run through Kellon, and give us fifteen minutes afterwards on the first few matters.
And a guarantee
You can leave at any point
We tell you what each stage requires before it begins, not after. Any firm can leave the programme for any reason, and keep every record it has produced.
How it runs
Five stages, over roughly three months.
Conversation
Twenty minutes. What the firm does now, and whether this is a fit. No obligation follows.
Workflow review
We map how your firm executes remotely today, including the parts that rest on memory.
Standard review
You review the evidence pack format and tell us where it would not hold.
First matters
The firm runs live signings through Kellon, with a short debrief after the first few.
After
Founding pricing, continued input, and named acknowledgement if the firm wants it.
Founding terms
What it costs
Discounted, and fixed.
Design partners get a discounted rate to the product.
The rate reflects going first, and is fixed for the term of the programme and for a defined period after general availability.
Per-execution fees are structured to be capable of being treated as a matter disbursement, and we provide the documentation to support that. Whether a particular cost is recoverable in a particular matter remains a question for the firm.
Who this suits
A small number of firms, chosen for fit.
This works well if
Your firm executes wills or enduring powers of attorney regularly.
At least one practitioner is prepared to engage directly.
You are open to working towards use on a live matter, at a pace you set.
This works less well if
Remote execution is rare at your firm.
You would rather see a finished product before forming a view.
Both are reasonable positions. Neither is a design partner.
