What does the scanner actually read?

Only the database's structure — table, form, query, and report counts, relationships, and file size. It never reads your data, and it never touches VBA or macros. The file is parsed in an isolated, network-disconnected sandbox and deleted immediately after.

Is my file safe to upload?

Yes. The parser runs in an ephemeral, hardened sandbox with no network access, no elevated privileges, and a read-only filesystem — it's isolated from our main site and servers. Your file is deleted the moment analysis finishes; nothing is retained or shared.

How accurate is the cost estimate?

It's a structural ballpark, not a quote — based on the same pricing model as our Project Estimator, sized to your database's table/form/query complexity. A free system review gives you an exact, scoped number.
