Straight answers about your files, your privacy, and how this actually works — before you upload anything.

What happens to my files when I upload them?

Your files never leave your browser as files. When you upload a PDF, Word document, or text file, the text is extracted right there on your device — nothing gets sent to a server as a raw document.

Once you click "Run the audit," only the extracted text is sent — securely — to run the analysis. We don't store your documents, and we don't keep a copy anywhere after your results are generated.

Is my organization's information kept confidential?

Yes. The text from your documents is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to run the analysis, under Anthropic's commercial terms — which means it is not used to train Claude's models and is automatically deleted from Anthropic's systems on a short retention window (typically about a week), used only to keep the service secure.

No one at StoryCraft reads your documents manually before you see your results, and your materials aren't shared with any third party beyond that.

How does the audit actually work?

The tool compares your donor appeal against your annual report or campaign piece, looking for the specific moments where the language shifts — from centering your donor's role and impact, to centering your organization instead. That shift is often the quiet reason revenue plateaus and first-time donors don't come back.

You get direct quotes pulled from your own materials, a Fit Score showing where your language currently stands, and a clear next step — no generic advice, no industry benchmarks standing in for your actual writing.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

It's free, with no obligation either way. You'll get an honest read on your materials regardless of whether it makes sense to work together — if it's not a fit right now, you'll see that plainly, with no pressure to book a call.

What file types work, and what if my upload fails?

PDF, Word (.docx), and plain text files all work. If a file can't be read automatically — this sometimes happens with scanned or heavily designed PDFs — a text box will appear so you can paste the content directly instead.
