Two things this week.

The IZIMI comparison is live

Wrote up how notary-managed digital vaults (like Belgium's IZIMI) compare to what I'm building. Same problem on the surface, very different approaches underneath.

Short version: notary vaults wait for a death certificate. Trustbourne releases when you're unreachable. Different tools for different situations.

Beta starts soon

The core product works. Vault, contacts, check-ins, escalation, release. What's left is real-world testing with real users.

I'm looking for 5-10 people to run through the full flow over the next 6 weeks. That means:

• Setting up a vault with actual files
• Adding a real contact (someone who'll verify)
• Going through at least 2-3 check-in cycles
• Telling me what breaks or feels wrong

If that's you, reply with one sentence about what you'd actually store. That's it. I'll pick from the replies and send invites next week.

Pricing (you're seeing this first)

Haven't announced this publicly yet. Early bird rate for waitlist subscribers: €79/year. Locks for 5 years, first 100 users.

Beta testers get early bird pricing when we launch. More details coming very soon.
