PreCommit: Point-of-Action control for conveyancing email risk.

PreCommit helps conveyancing teams pause before high-consequence Outlook messages become payment-diversion, changed-bank-detail, approval, or commitment actions.

Current-message only. No Graph. No send/write. No mailbox scan. Live client data remains gated.

Current email only. No mailbox scan. Nothing is sent automatically.

Company summary

What PreCommit is

PreCommit is building a Microsoft 365 Outlook Point-of-Action control. The first wedge is conveyancing: changed bank details, completion pressure, client instructions, approvals, and legal commitments before a staff member acts.

Why now

The risk is in the action, not only the message

AI makes risky messages easier to personalise and harder to spot. The danger is no longer only whether a message reaches the inbox. It is what happens when a normal-looking message asks someone to act.

Recent milestone

Current product status

PreCommit has a hosted Azure Outlook synthetic review cell for evidence work. It is not live-client-data approved.

What PreCommit does

The product behaviour

  • checks the current open email
  • classifies the risk as Safe, Review, or Stop
  • gives one safe next action
  • shows short reasons why
  • keeps Details secondary
  • leaves the human in control
What PreCommit does not do

Boundaries that matter

  • does not scan the whole mailbox
  • does not auto-send
  • does not auto-draft
  • does not approve payments
  • does not replace existing email security tools
  • does not act as a generic AI assistant
Story hooks

Angles that explain the category

We risk-assess work. Why not email?

The moment before consequence.

AI makes risky email look normal.

Email is no longer just communication. It is where business commits.

Safe / Review / Stop as a new business habit.

Founder note

Why James built it

PreCommit was created from a simple concern: as AI makes deception easier to produce and harder to recognise, people need better protection at the moment they are asked to act. The product is built around human control, bounded checks, and clear decisions before consequence.
