Crum

A place to track what you are building, and to show it to the people you are building it for.

Crum is a CRM. What it adds is the second seat: every client has a page, and that page is built from the records you already keep rather than written separately.


Why there are two seats

Everyone already has somewhere they track work. What almost nobody has is a way to show a client what is happening without keeping a second copy of it by hand. Status decks, recap emails, a shared doc someone forgets: all of it is written twice, and out of date the day after it is written.

So the client's page is not a report you write. It is the records you already keep, filtered to what you marked visible.

One log

Clients, deals, projects, artifacts, commitments and boards, as one append-only event log. Nothing is overwritten and nothing is lost.

A page for each client

A revocable link, with no account to make. They see their work, what is in flight and what is waiting on them. Nothing of anyone else's.

The trail back

A row traces to the thing it came out of, and that to the thing before it. Where a piece of work came from is a field, not a footnote.

video → transcript → findings → item ↔ the client's reply

The demo signs you in with a name: no password, no account, and it resets every night. This is what a client sees of the same records.

Hosted, one database each

Crum is hosted by Saltbark. Every account gets its own workspace with its own database, so isolation is physical rather than a query somebody has to remember. You sign in with a link sent to your email, and who may sign in is your own People list.

Agents propose, people decide

An agent seat can read the log and suggest changes to it. It cannot write one. Suggestions land in a staging queue where a person takes them row by row, and the log records the person who said yes. Every row on a client's page has somebody answerable for it.
