How Stratify works

Three steps. Stratify prioritizes the one next best action for you instead of dropping fifty tasks in your lap.

  1. Step 1

    Answer a few questions

    Tell Stratify what you're building, where you are, and how far along you are. Takes about 3–5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Get your roadmap

    Stratify turns your answers into an ordered plan covering formation, licensing, taxes, banking, and launch.

  3. Step 3

    Complete your next action

    Instead of a wall of tasks, you see the single next best action. Finish it, mark it done, and the next one appears.

What you'll see

A concrete next action, not a pile of advice

Here's an illustrative example of what a roadmap looks like for a home bakery forming an LLC in Columbus, Ohio. Your roadmap is built from your own answers.

  • Your current stage, so the plan starts where you actually are.
  • Estimated time and cost, clearly framed as estimates.
  • Pointers to official resources where they exist for your location.
  • A way to mark it complete so your progress stays current.

Your progress updates your business readiness so you always know what is left.

Times and costs shown are illustrative estimates for this example, not a quote.

You always know where the guidance came from

Stratify labels its guidance so you can act with confidence. Official sources are used where they're available, and anything sensitive is flagged for a professional.

Verified information

Steps that point to official state or federal resources where those sources are available for your location.

AI recommendation

Suggestions generated for your situation. Useful starting points, clearly marked as recommendations rather than fact.

Requires professional review

Legal, tax, and compliance decisions that a licensed professional should confirm before you act on them.

Stratify is guidance, not legal, tax, or financial advice. For legal and tax decisions, confirm with a licensed professional in your state.
