The problem

HR software stores documents. It doesn't help you write them.

BambooHR, Gusto, and Rippling are payroll platforms. They don't generate legally-informed documents, cite applicable law, or tell you what to do next.

01
Generic AI gives generic advice
ChatGPT doesn't know your handbook, your state's labor code, or your progressive discipline policy. vael does.
02
Attorneys cost $400/hour
Most HR questions don't need an attorney. They need a knowledgeable advisor available immediately, at 7am on a Monday.
03
Documentation gaps create liability
Wrongful termination suits average $40,000–$60,000. The difference is almost always documentation quality.
