About Stemma

Built for the question a household should not have to answer in a hurry.

When one person holds the access, documents, and context, everyone else inherits a search problem. Stemma is being built to make that information easier to organize while life is still ordinary.

What guides the work

The useful details are usually the missing details.

Stemma is focused on the layer between a legal document and a person trying to act on it: access, location, context, and the next sensible step.

Make the important record findable.

A plan should hold the account, the document, the original location, and the explanation in one practical place.

Leave the next step visible.

The people you trust should not have to infer what to do from a list of disconnected files and passwords.

Say only what can be supported.

The product, security documentation, terms, and pricing should make the same promise, in language a household can understand.

The point of view

A will can name an intention. A household still needs the practical record.

Stemma is not a replacement for estate counsel or personal judgment. It is a place to keep the operational information that makes a plan easier to carry out.

What exists

Accounts, documents, records, and the personal details someone might have to find.

Where it is

The physical, digital, and professional locations that make an item actionable.

Who should know

The people who need context, instructions, or a starting point when the time comes.

The first record

Start with the thing another person would have the hardest time reconstructing.

It can be an account, an original document, or one instruction that deserves to be written down in your own words.
