7 quick questions
No file upload — just pick what’s closest for your Access database or Excel spreadsheet.
1. Where does your Access/Excel file live?
2. Do you have automatic, regular backups of it?
3. If the person who built or maintains it left tomorrow, could the business keep running it?
4. How many versions are floating around?
5. Has it ever crashed, corrupted, locked up, or gotten slow as it grew?
6. Can your team use it from anywhere — phone, jobsite, home?

Common questions
- What is a spreadsheet risk scorecard?
- It's a free questionnaire that grades how risky it is to keep running your business on an Access database or Excel spreadsheet. You answer 7 questions about your setup — where the file lives, backups, who understands it, version sprawl, crashes/corruption, anywhere-access, and manual reporting hours — and get an instant Low / Medium / High risk score with the specific fix a web app provides for each issue.
- Do I have to upload my file?
- No. The scorecard is a questionnaire only — there's no file upload, no parsing, and nothing is opened or executed, so there's zero security or macro risk. You just check the statements that are true of your setup.
- What are the biggest risks of running a business on a spreadsheet?
- The most common are: it lives on one machine with no automatic backups, only one person understands it, multiple copies float around out of sync, people overwrite each other's edits, there's no record of who changed what, the file slows down or corrupts as it grows, and reports are assembled by hand. A custom web app removes each of these.
