Labor hurdle, conservatively
At an illustrative $25 loaded staff hour, the $550 monthly 24-month equivalent requires 22 hours/month returned. At $50/hour it requires 11 hours/month. Neither rate is a Flipur payroll fact.
Flipur Entity · working proposal · September 25, 2026
Four working days with your team. One measurable return.
We are a small company, and we need to learn this market inside your workflow. For two months, we will spend at least two full working days per month with your team while building a source-linked operator review for your five priority counties. You will see the cost, the time returned, and the next decision in numbers.

Current subscription
Sam reported about $600/month: $14,400 over 24 months if unchanged. Count $0 as retired spend until the invoice, rights and cancellation are confirmed.
Meeting time already invested
Two documented client calls total 58m 47s of recorded meeting time. At $50/hour, that is about $49 per participant, or $147 for three participants as a simple example. It is past investment, not future ROI.
What proves value
Time actual cases before and after; record reviewer corrections, source cash cost and operator activation. Show the day-60 result next to the $6,000 activation and ongoing fee.
September 22 meeting · final discussion
Your question is whether this makes financial sense.
01
What does it replace?
You described a roughly $600 monthly research tool, a Grok bot that searches it, and manual scraping and operator intake. The tool’s full bill and export rights still need checking.
02
What else does it create?
Faster operator onboarding, a complete profile, and a useful next decision. You gave additional operator signups as an example of valuable upside, not a promised result.
03
What is the all-in cost?
You asked for data age and history, refresh burden, source cost, maintenance, scope, timeline, and milestones. A national coverage headline cannot answer that.
Our response: start in the five counties that matter to you, measure one real workflow, and decide expansion from its cost and results.
How we earn the right to be your provider
Judge us on the operator decision and the ledger behind it.
Work in your process
Observe onboarding with your team, map the actual handoffs, and complete cases with your reviewer. At least two full onsite working days per month for two months are included in activation.
Show the source
Every material finding links to a record and date. Missing EIN, unverified board roles, uncertain entity matches and unavailable project history stay visible.
Publish the scorecard
Show accepted cases, manual minutes, assisted minutes, correction work, data spend, reviewer cost and any conversion change. No invented ROI or automatic decision.
A polished demo may get attention. A repeatable review with known cost is what should earn the contract.
The current workflow · verify with Flipur in week one
Even with Grok, finding and checking the record takes time.
Request entity identity, EIN, team, history and recent projects through several handoffs.
Use Grok or the current tool to search public records, property activity and court hits for each case; repeat the search when the next question comes.
Decide whether names, properties and legal matters belong to the same entity.
Summarize the evidence and decide the next onboarding action.
Baseline first: time each step on actual cases, including Grok-assisted research, requests, waiting, correction, tool fees and human review. The product should retrieve an indexed, cited result quickly, then let Grok query the approved record once an interface is built. We will count only time actually removed from an accepted review.

The acceptance test
Select one consented operator, run intake to decision with a Flipur reviewer, retain source links and exceptions, then repeat the process on a second case. Record total elapsed time, hands-on minutes and corrections for both.
Success is a usable decision, not a count of scraped rows or a score generated without review.
Product proof · status as of September 25 review
There is a working foundation. We still have acceptance work.
Research surface
- Entity, person, address and property search
- Map, parcel, source and coverage views
- Partial ownership, deed and court context
- Source gaps displayed rather than hidden
Review workflow
- Entity intake, claims and reconciliation
- Litigation queue and internal grade preview

- Repeatable 24-month history where rights permit
- Named investor-tool integration and bot API
Commitment: we will mark each acceptance item passed, partial, or blocked on the 60-day scorecard. Existing code does not equal a finished Flipur workflow.

Where we start
Prioritize your five counties. Price the records before buying them.
OrangeFirst case and historical-source priority
Los AngelesSeparate city and county coverage
RiversideVerify file scope and rights
San BernardinoMeasure party and sale fields
San DiegoCheck history and refresh options
Current source ledger. Row counts are not complete two-year named histories.
One source ledger per county
For each field: available period, name coverage, purchase/sale qualification, record age, acquisition time, refresh schedule, license rights, cash price and maintenance effort.
Compare free public sources, targeted county files and a licensed provider. We will present the 24-month option and its exact incremental cost before any paid purchase.
Financial discipline
The $300 fee is not the whole operating cost.

Proposed fixed 24-month product price$13,200Plus approved extras
Data example: the previously identified Orange County weekly index was $77/week, about $4,004/year if purchased every week. We have not confirmed the current quote, historical backfill, rights or need for that feed. It is not included in $13,200.
How the investment pays back
Four measurable value lines. Count each only once.
A
Reviewer capacity returned
Accepted reviews per month × hands-on minutes removed ÷ 60 × loaded reviewer rate. This is capacity, not cash saved unless it avoids spending or is used productively.
B
Actual spend retired
Count the existing research subscription only if Flipur cancels it. Count export upgrades or contractor spend only when documented and discontinued.
C
Incremental operator contribution
New activated operators attributable to faster review × measured contribution per operator. Signups alone are not revenue; compare to a baseline.
D
All incremental costs
Subtract our fee, approved data/API purchases, added infrastructure, review time and any continuing outside tools.
The threshold before upside
At $50 per reviewer hour, 11 hours a month covers the fixed two-year average.
24-MONTH PRODUCT MATH
$13,200
$6,000 activation + 24 × $300
$550 / month equivalent
$550 ÷ illustrative $50 loaded hourly rate = 11 hours / month of capacity. In year one, the actual cash outlay is $9,600, or $800 per month equivalent.
Translate that into real cases
Accepted reviews / monthMinutes saved / reviewValue at $50 / hr
1030$250 / month
2030$500 / month
2230$550 / month
3030$750 / month
Illustrations only. Zero canceled subscriptions, zero operator-contribution upside and zero extra data cost assumed. Every $100/month of added data raises this threshold by two hours at $50/hour.
Illustrative economics · replace with Flipur’s observed inputs
What volume and time reduction would justify the price?
Monthly scenario at $50 / reviewer hourReturned capacityVs $550/month fixed average
10 reviews × 30 minutes removed5 hours · $250$300 below
20 reviews × 45 minutes removed15 hours · $750$200 above
30 reviews × 45 minutes removed22.5 hours · $1,125$575 above
Cash spend test
If the $600/month tool stays, avoided subscription spend is $0. If it is retired, confirm the cancellation date and feature coverage before crediting savings.
Operator upside test
For each additional activated operator attributable to faster onboarding, use Flipur’s actual contribution after servicing cost. No conversion or margin is assumed here.
Data sensitivity
Each $100/month in approved source spend requires two more reviewer hours at the illustrated $50/hour rate, unless it produces other measured value.
Year-one hurdle
$9,600 in first-year cash payments equals $800/month. At $50/hour, time value alone needs 16 hours/month in year one before extra data.
Implementation and proof
Four onsite days. Two real cases. One decision on the numbers.
Choose the first operator; inventory the current subscription, intake steps, staff minutes and source permissions. Confirm the five-county priority and acceptance checklist.
Run entity intake, evidence, project and litigation review; record exceptions and a human next action. Reconcile source cash costs.
Fix handoffs; time the second review; test a permitted export or integration path after the existing tool and rights are identified.
Present before/after minutes, source ledger, total cost, product gaps, and an agreed go/adjust/stop recommendation.
ONSITE WORK
Two full days each month
At least two onsite working days per month for the first two months, at an agreed local site. Planning basis: one lead, eight hours per day, 32 onsite hours total. Sam and Adrian do not need to attend all day; we shadow the real workflow, work with staff, and return a short decision list.
The exact dates, location, access, travel boundary and named reviewer go into the signed scope. Offsite build work is also part of activation.
Use the incumbent as context, not a promised saving
The proposal is $13,200 fixed over two years.
Base subscription comparisonFirst 12 months24 months
Reported current tool · $600/month$7,200$14,400
Flipur Entity · $6,000 + $300/month$9,600$13,200
Fixed-price difference+$2,400 first year−$1,200 over 24 months
If the old tool stays
The subscriptions stack: $27,600 over 24 months before paid data and labor. In that case value must come from faster reviews or new contribution, not replacement savings.
If it can be retired
Confirm its contract, export and features first. The $1,200 fixed-price gap is small; the stronger case is a reusable onboarding decision and less manual work.
Scope and continuity
Own the decision. Know the boundaries.
Included in $6,000
First/repeat operator review, four full onsite working days in 60 days, five-county source ledger, baseline and value scorecard, and a bounded integration assessment.
Included in $300/month
Product access, ordinary hosting, maintenance, agreed source refresh operation and bounded support. We will define support response and use limits in the scope.
Approved separately
New paid data, API/enrichment fees, unusual infrastructure, ongoing twice-monthly onsite work, broad buyer/lead feeds, CRM replacement and bot API integration.
Flipur control
Flipur controls its case data, reviewer decisions and approved exports. We document backups and transition. Exclusive IP or code buyout needs a separate agreement.
Decision safeguards
Internal grade only. Human approval for fee, privilege and promotion changes. No automatic outreach, public adverse label or live charge change.
Expansion rule
After the first workflow is accepted, price additional counties, source depth, buyer discovery or integrations against the measured benefit and actual rights.
Our recommendation
Invest in one measurable workflow. Expand when its value is visible.
We propose $6,000 to work inside Flipur’s niche for at least two full onsite days per month over two months, implement Entity around a real operator review, and prove the value. The $300 monthly product fee keeps the accepted workflow operating. At day 60, you receive a repeat case, a county-by-county cost ledger and a financial scorecard.
