RubusCollect
Collect · structured answers, at a distance

Forty people.One answer, not forty.Every value in its own field.Documents where they belong.Every number, sourced.Nobody chased by spreadsheet.

RubusCollect sends each person a link, works through your list with them in a conversation, keeps every answer in a typed field with the documents attached, and reconciles all of it into one document you can act on.

Acme OÜ — client onboarding8 of 13

Nordic Holding AS holds 60%. Is that a company, or a person?

It’s a company.

Then I need its owners too — who holds more than 25% of Nordic Holding?

Example use cases

The same machine, five jobs

Every one of these ships as a starting template. Take it as it is, or edit it into the questions you actually ask.

01Accounting and law firms

Client onboarding, before you may act

One link to a new corporate client. It works through the company, its business, its representative and its beneficial owners — and where the answer is “a few shareholders”, it asks for names and percentages rather than writing that down.

What comes back

A complete file with documents attached, an approve / reject / more-information decision on the record, and a five-year retention floor that nothing deletes early.

02Procurement

Supplier compliance, once a year, across forty suppliers

Certifications, insurance, subcontracting and incidents, asked of everyone at once — with certificates uploaded against the item they belong to instead of arriving as a pile of email attachments.

What comes back

How many hold what, every certificate and policy lapsing inside twelve months, and exactly who still owes you which items.

03People teams

A pulse that produces sentences, not just a score

Seven statements on a scale and three questions in their own words. Nobody is chased by a spreadsheet: it asks, they answer when they have five minutes, and they can stop and come back.

What comes back

A score per statement and per team, the words that keep recurring in what people would change, and every comment reproduced in full.

04Consultants and COOs

An AI readiness probe, one respondent per team

Where the repetitive time actually goes, how ready the systems and the people are, and the question most readiness surveys leave out — what in this work has to stay a human decision.

What comes back

A readiness index by dimension, the hours a year that repetitive work costs, a coverage map of who answered, and what each team said must not be automated.

05Anything with the same shape

Emissions data, renewals, declarations, grant reporting

Write the list yourself as a markdown document. Each line is a field with a type — a date, a number, a yes/no, a document — and it collects exactly those, refusing to invent one you did not ask for.

What comes back

One table across every respondent, and a template you keep editing as you learn what you should have asked.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself

1

Write what you need

A markdown list, one line per field. Start from a pack — onboarding, supplier compliance, pulse, AI readiness — and edit it, or start from an empty page.

2

Send the links

One unguessable link each, to four people or four hundred. They see the whole list before they begin, so they can go and find their documents first.

3

Read one answer

Every response reconciled into tables and cited claims. Not four hundred transcripts — one document, and the evidence behind each line of it.

Why you can send it to a client

Careful with other people’s information

You are asking someone for their passport, their owners, or their honest opinion of their manager. That has to be handled properly, or not asked for at all.

01

A conversation, not a form

It asks the follow-up a form cannot: “you said a lot — how many a week?”, “that shareholder is a company, so I need its owners too”. Where something genuinely does not apply, it says so and moves on rather than inventing a value to turn a box green.

02

They can see the whole list first

The requirements are visible before anyone starts, and the progress counter is honest, because completeness here is objective — a required field is filled or it is not.

03

Typed values, not a transcript

Every answer lands in a named field with a type and a link back to the sentence that produced it. You are not reading chat logs a week later looking for where somebody said 2019.

04

Documents come back too

Uploaded against the item they belong to, checked by their actual contents rather than their file extension, kept in a vault — never a public link, and served only to the person reviewing the file.

05

Every number carries its evidence

A line in the output resolves to the records behind it, and each record to the words somebody typed. A citation that does not resolve is removed and a claim left with none is dropped whole, so nothing unsupported borrows the authority of what surrounds it.

06

The calculator is yours

The script that turns forty responses into one number is an ordinary skill in your workspace. Open it, change the thresholds, change what counts as a pass. Aggregating your own data should not need us to ship a release.

Questions

The things people ask first

Does the person answering need an account?

No. They open a link, talk to it, and close the tab. Coming back to the same link picks up exactly where they stopped, and revoking it takes effect immediately.

What stops it inventing an answer?

It can only write into fields your template defines — a name it made up does not exist and is refused — and it marks anything it had to interpret as low confidence rather than presenting a guess as a fact.

Where do the documents live?

In an object store, under a random key, encrypted at rest. There are no shareable links: every download goes through us so it can be authorised and recorded, and a file is served only to the person reviewing that respondent.

Can I mark a field as sensitive?

Yes, and it changes what happens to it. A sealed field is encrypted at rest and deliberately withheld from the reconciler, so an identity code can be collected and reviewed but never aggregated over by a script.

Are the answers anonymous?

Not today — every response is attributed, and an employee survey says so on its first screen rather than in a footnote. An aggregate-only mode with a minimum team size is being built, and it will arrive as a guarantee rather than a checkbox.

How do I start?

Create a workspace, write a template — or take one of the packs and edit it — and send the first link to yourself. Nothing is sent to anybody else until you invite them.

Stop chasing spreadsheets by email

Write the list once. Send it to four people or four hundred. Read one answer at the end of it.
