Plain-English summary

Use QSBS.ai as a preparation layer, not as a decision-maker.

The product is designed to improve the quality of a founder’s advisor conversation by making relevant facts, gaps, and source documents easier to review.

Core rule

Do not treat any QSBS.ai output as advice or a conclusion.

Treat the QSBS Discussion Brief as a structured preparation document. The next step is review with a qualified professional who can evaluate source documents, jurisdictional details, timing, transaction history, and applicable rules.

Important limits

What QSBS.ai does not provide.

QSBS.ai cannot replace professional judgment. It should not be used as the basis for a filing position, transaction step, document signature, tax planning decision, or investment decision.

Generated outputs

Discussion briefs are preparation documents.

Generated outputs can be useful for organizing a conversation, but they are not final analysis and should not be treated as authoritative.

Outputs depend on the facts and wording provided by the user.
Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or not tailored to a specific jurisdiction or transaction.
The brief is designed to surface review questions and organize preparation materials, not to resolve the underlying tax or legal analysis.
Unknown or uncertain facts should remain open items for professional review.
Your responsibility

Review, verify, and ask a professional.

Review all outputs carefully before relying on them for any conversation or decision.
Verify company documents, stock records, incorporation records, purchase agreements, transfer history, and other source materials.
Discuss the facts with a qualified professional before taking action.
Avoid entering information that should not be shared through an online preparation tool.
Directory and third parties

Evaluate any professional independently.

Professional listings, directory pages, resource links, or contact paths are informational.
QSBS.ai does not endorse, supervise, or control any third-party professional unless expressly stated in writing.
Users are responsible for evaluating credentials, engagement terms, conflicts, fees, jurisdictional fit, and professional suitability.

Final reminder

Use the brief to support the advisor conversation.

QSBS.ai is intended to help founders prepare better questions, organize known facts, and preserve open issues for review with a qualified professional.

Trust language

Preparation only. Not tax or legal advice.

QSBS.ai does not provide tax, legal, accounting, investment, or financial advice and does not determine QSBS eligibility. The output is a discussion brief for review with a qualified professional.
