Crownwise is a field tool for qualified tree risk assessors. Record a Level 2 assessment on site, and leave with the report already written. WRITTEN ON SITE, NOT AT THE KITCHEN TABLE A Level 2 assessment is thirty minutes of looking and two hours of typing. Crownwise removes the second part. You record each tree, judge the parts and targets you can see, and the report assembles itself as you go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start an assessment with the client, site and scope. 2. Add each tree: species, location, site conditions, health and structure. 3. For every part that could fail, record the target it could strike and judge the three inputs — likelihood of failure, likelihood of impacting the target, consequences of failure. 4. The rating appears immediately, with the matrix on screen so you can see where it came from. 5. Generate the report and send it before you get back to the truck. THE REPORT • Your letterhead: name, credentials, certification number and expiry • Your signature, drawn once and printed on every report • A summary table of every tree with its overall rating • Per part: the three inputs, the derived rating, and the matrix reproduced with your cell marked • Recommended work and timeframe • Assumptions and limiting conditions A rating whose derivation is invisible is not defensible. Crownwise prints the working. WORKS WHERE YOU WORK No signal required. Nothing in the assessment needs a connection — not the matrix, not the photographs, not the report. Under canopy, in a basement car park, on a rural verge: it behaves the same. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No analytics. Everything you record stays on your device, and the only thing that ever leaves is the report you choose to share. There is no server holding your assessments. PHOTOGRAPHS ATTACHED TO FINDINGS The camera opens from inside the row you are recording, and the photograph is attached there and then. No matching a camera roll to findings afterwards. WHAT CROWNWISE IS NOT Crownwise does not perform tree risk assessment and does not give arboricultural advice. Every input is selected by you. The app applies published matrices to those inputs and assembles the result. The professional opinion in any report is yours, and you are responsible for it. It is a tool in the same sense that a calculator is a tool. Crownwise is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or certified by any professional body, standards organisation or certifying authority. PRICING The first three reports are free and complete — no watermark, no trial clock. After that: • Monthly: $39.99 • Annual: $349.99 (saves 27%) Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your Apple ID settings.
