About Findra

In short: Findra tests laptops on real small-business AI jobs that run on the laptop itself. We publish plain-English scorecards. We also offer set-up and refurbished hardware. Findra is run by Braynex Services Ltd.

What we do#

1. We test. We run six small-business jobs on each laptop and publish a verdict for each one. The jobs include summarising contracts, answering customer emails and pulling data out of invoices. See how we test.
2. We set up and sell. Braynex Services Ltd sells refurbished laptops and sets up private AI on them, or on your own laptop. See our shop and our setup service.
3. We are exploring industry tools. We are looking at private AI tools that check one industry's documents on your own machine. We are starting with one industry at a time. See industries.

Why local AI#

Cloud AI is still stronger and easier for most jobs. We say so on purpose. Local AI wins on privacy, cost per use and working offline. It suits businesses that handle documents they would rather keep on their own machine. Our scorecards show whether a given laptop is good enough for that.

How we earn money#

We want you to know how Findra is paid for, so you can judge our advice:

• Hardware. Braynex Services Ltd earns a margin when it sells a refurbished laptop.
• Services. We earn from our setup service, which is quoted for each client.
• Affiliate links. We may earn a commission when you buy through some links. Rankings are never influenced by commissions. See our affiliate disclosure.
• Later. We may sell licences for industry tools.

We sell some of the kinds of laptops we test. That is a conflict of interest, and we do not hide it. Every laptop is tested with the same protocol, which is published in full on our method page. Scorecards are generated from the measured results, not written by hand.

How we write#

Some guides and news posts are drafted with the help of AI. The owner reads and approves each news post before it is published, and a news post drafted with AI carries a note that says so. Data posts, such as a new laptop result, are built from our own scorecards.

All the documents we use in our tests are fictional. We do not use real companies or real people. We do not publish made-up results, reviews or testimonials.
