Describe my situation See what's included

Not sure which fits? One example: a two-page chargeback letter

Say management has sent you a two-page letter that charges you for a repair. This is what each option would do with it.

Free Notice Decoder Free, automated
You want to know what the letter says: the amount, the deadline and the reason it gives. Software explains it in plain language in minutes. No person reads it.
Starter Report $19
You have one specific question about the letter, for example: does it show how the amount was calculated? Alexander Baraz answers that one question in writing.
Condo Situation Check $99
You want to know where you stand before you reply or pay. Alexander Baraz reads the letter with the pages around it, such as the invoice or an earlier notice, up to 5 pages in total, and sets out the key risks and practical next steps.
Full Condo Case Review $349
The letter is one part of a longer story: earlier repairs, emails with management, an insurance deductible or a lien warning. Alexander Baraz reads the related documents and events together, up to 50 pages, and gives you a structured report with an action plan.

Custom Review, by quote. Several separate issues, more than 50 pages, or a case that spans several parties or stages? You get a written proposal with the scope, price and delivery time first, and no payment is taken before you accept it.

Request a Custom Review

No payment until you describe your situation. No retainer and no hourly billing. You always make the final decision.

Questions about choosing

Which service should I choose?

The three reviews are all read and written by Alexander Baraz personally. They differ in how much he reads and what you get back.

Starter Report ($19): one document and one focused question. No follow-up questions are included.

Condo Situation Check ($99): one condo issue and up to 5 pages, with the key risks and practical next steps. One clarification within 7 days after delivery.

Full Condo Case Review ($349): up to 50 pages connected to one case, with a detailed assessment and action plan. Clarifications within 14 days after delivery.

Custom Review (by quote): a matter outside the standard limits, or one that needs a tailored scope.

Free Notice Decoder: one notice or letter, with an instant plain-language explanation.

Free AI Guidance: no document required, for initial guidance and a suggested next step.

Fee & Reserve Check ($24.99 CAD total after the beta): automated analysis of a condo's financial documents, for an owner or a buyer. It is not personally reviewed by Alexander Baraz.

When does the delivery time start?

When all required documents are received, not when you send the form or pay. The Starter Report and the Condo Situation Check are delivered within 48 hours after that, and the Full Condo Case Review within 5 business days. Documents are sent by email after payment, with your Case ID. There is no document upload on the website for paid reviews.

How does a Custom Review work?

No payment is taken when you submit the request. Alexander Baraz reviews the matter and sends you a written proposal confirming the scope, price and delivery time. Work begins only after you accept the proposal and complete payment.
