Sovereignty: 2 of 4 dimensions proven

0–5 in half steps. 5 means the rubric's top anchor is met on the evidence.

An AI-assisted analysis of public evidence — not a hands-on test.

Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

Assumes the marketing is lying until the evidence says otherwise. Hunts lock-in, dark patterns, hidden cost and dead changelogs. Exists to keep the rest of the panel honest.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Skeptic

Collaboration depth

How this is scored

How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.

0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.

3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.

5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.

8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.

10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The marketing copy is backed by real structure: task assignments, workload display, Gantt dependencies and critical path are stated, and departments, role-based groups and multi-project dashboards appear in the tier feature lists. Unlimited free read-only access is a genuine stakeholder path, but it's read-only only and portfolio views are gated to Enterprise Plus — so 8, not the full span. 1 2

Report an error

Reporting

How this is scored

Whether the tool can answer questions about the work: progress, time, budgets, utilization — and export the answer.

0 — No reporting beyond looking at the board.

3 — Fixed per-project status views only; nothing aggregates across projects and nothing exports cleanly.

5 — Useful standard reports (progress, tracked time) with basic filters and CSV export, but limited customization and no budget/utilization depth.

8 — Configurable cross-project reporting incl. time, budgets and utilization, with dashboards and reliable exports.

10 — Reporting is a product in itself: custom report builder, scheduled delivery, API access to every metric the UI shows.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Real-time portfolio KPI dashboards, auto-generated status reports, effort estimation and working-time capture via Outlook are all claimed, and multi-project dashboards exist at Enterprise. But there is not one word about exports — no CSV, no API-to-reporting evidence — and no report builder or scheduling; a criterion that asks 'can you export the answer' cannot score above 7 on silence. 1 2

Report an error

Integrations

How this is scored

How well the tool connects to the rest of the stack: native integrations, calendar/comms hooks, API and webhooks, import/export paths.

0 — A closed box — no API, no integrations, CSV out if anything.

3 — A handful of marquee integrations, no public API or an API that covers a fraction of the product.

5 — The common set (calendar, Slack/Teams, file storage) plus a documented public API; automation platforms partially covered.

8 — Broad native catalogue, well-documented API and webhooks, first-class automation-platform support and real import paths from competitors.

10 — Ecosystem-grade: everything in 8 plus the tool is itself extensible (apps/plugins, AI/MCP surfaces) and exit via API export is complete.

Report an error

The Skeptic

This is a Microsoft shop: runs inside Outlook, Teams client, M365 integration, Outlook calendar workload display — deep, but the catalogue ends there. The API is only ever mentioned as a tier perk ('1000 data sets/page' on Enterprise Plus), which tells me it exists and is used as an upsell lever; no webhooks, no automation platforms, no competitor import paths are evidenced anywhere. 1 2

Onboarding effort

How this is scored

Time and friction from signup to first real value for a small team, without paid services.

0 — No self-serve path — onboarding starts with a sales call and an implementation project.

3 — Self-serve exists but the first project requires configuration a newcomer cannot judge yet (workflows, custom fields, permissions) before anything works.

5 — A team gets a first project running within a day; trial requires payment details or key steps live behind docs.

8 — Signup to working project inside an hour: guided setup, sensible defaults, templates, trial without payment details.

10 — Minutes to value even for non-tool-people, importers pull existing work in, and the tool teaches its own advanced features as the team grows into them.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The 14-day trial without credit card is honest and self-serve, but that's the only onboarding evidence on the evidence — no templates, no guided setup, no importers. And since every plan price is 'upon request', turning the trial into a purchase means a sales conversation, which is friction the anchor set punishes. 1 2

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the company and the data actually sit: legal entity, ownership control, data residency, and subprocessor exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

0 — Non-European vendor, data on US infrastructure under US law, no DPA worth the name.

3 — DPA and GDPR language present, but hosting defaults to the US or ownership sits outside Europe — compliance paperwork over substance.

5 — EU data residency is available and contractually fixed, but the vendor or its controlling owner is non-European, or core subprocessors put data within CLOUD Act reach.

8 — European company under European control with EU-resident data and a public DPA; remaining exposure is limited to identifiable subprocessors (e.g. a US hyperscaler's EU region) and is documented.

10 — European company, European control, EU-only data residency on European infrastructure, subprocessor list free of extraterritorial reach — verifiable, not asserted.

Report an error

The Skeptic

A Munich GmbH with a German DPO, 'Hosted in Germany' on the pricing page and a self-hosted edition look good — but the footer copyright reads 'InLoox, Inc.', ownership is unverified, the DPA/EVB-IT contract is only 'upon request', and the only infrastructure actually documented is Azure 'located in the EU and in the US', i.e. within CLOUD Act reach. Claims over verification: 5. 1 2 3

Support & documentation

How this is scored

Whether a stuck user gets unstuck: docs quality, support channels and their availability per plan, and the health of the learning surface.

0 — No docs beyond marketing pages; support is a contact form that may answer.

3 — Docs exist but are thin or stale; support on entry plans is effectively email-only with slow turnaround.

5 — Searchable help center covering the core product; chat or email support on all plans with reasonable response times.

8 — Deep, current docs incl. onboarding guides and templates; fast chat support not gated to top tiers; visible changelog.

10 — Docs, academy, community and support so good they are a reason to buy; SLAs published, support quality independent of plan.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The entire learning surface evidenced is a paid-sounding 'InLoox Trainings' line item; no help center, no changelog, no support channels or response times appear anywhere in the captured pages, and the support trail visible in the privacy policy is a contact form. A dead-silent docs record is information, and it says thin. 2 3

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Can a buyer determine the real, payable cost of the tool for their team before talking to anyone?

0 — No public pricing at all — every number sits behind "contact sales".

3 — Some tiers are public, but a deciding factor (seat minimums, mandatory add-ons, billing-period surcharge, tax treatment) only surfaces at checkout or in fine print.

5 — Self-serve tiers are publicly priced and the billing-period difference is stated, but the headline number still needs qualifying — e.g. annual-only headline, taxes excluded without saying so, or an opaque enterprise tier doing real work.

8 — Every self-serve tier is fully priced with billing periods and tax treatment plain on the page; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Every tier including enterprise has a public price or published price formula, and the headline number is the number on the invoice.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Not a single euro figure is public: Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus and Self-Hosted all read 'Price upon request' — the literal anchor-0 condition, softened one point only because seat minimums, billing periods and billing units are stated and the trial terms are clean. A buyer cannot compute the payable cost of this tool without talking to sales. 1 2

European sovereignty — proven facts

2 of 4 dimensions proven

Built only from facts shown on the vendor's own pages. A dimension we could not prove is left open, not scored as zero.

Legal entity	Not determined ⚠ unverified	—	uncited Report an error
Ownership	Not determined	—	uncited Report an error
Data residency	EU only ⚠ unverified	3/3 pts	5 Report an error
Subprocessors	US CLOUD Act reach ⚠ unverified	0/2 pts	5 Report an error

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 15 Sep 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
Weak sourcing — Data residency. The EU location is asserted on trust-page and pricing copy rather than in the privacy policy, which names no server location for the product, and hosting runs on US-based Microsoft Azure.
Weak sourcing — Subprocessors. The Azure data centers are in Germany (Frankfurt am Main and Berlin), but Microsoft is US-headquartered, and the privacy policy additionally names US-based Freshworks Inc. as support-desk provider.
AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
