I'd guess that if your dispute has reached the level of kicking each other collaboration tools, then I would not be the target market either, in the sense that this isn't a common enough use case for me, that it would warrant optimizing for it. A workplace like that is just not very healthy.

Sure, conflicts happen all the time, and I guess it is good to be able to handle that, too. But it feels a bit odd to include this in the marketing material as a common case.

If I was marketing I would try to find a way to draw attention to this feature in a more subtle way.

The thing that you are trying to sell is that "all parties have access to verified decisions at all times", right? Maybe there is a way to word it that does not end up associating "loqbooq" with "disputes and projects falling apart".

While I am at it: I think I understand the technical background of Points 1,2,3,4,5 of "In Case of Dispute", but it's worded very technically. Maybe there is a way of describing the benefits of a (semi-)distributed verified log more high-level and then add an additional section "How it works under the hood".

And of course congratulations on the launch!

Thanks so much! You got some good points, really appreciated! We definitely don't want Loqbooq associated that way and will re-work the content there.

Did you mean to say

"We will let you export your full history and data anytime" (as a company's data)

OR did you mean

"If you are fired from your employer, you get a copy of your data"? yeah that seems weird.
