The Charter
Core Principles
Clarity over control
We believe understanding beats automation. BotDaddy explains tradeoffs, risks, and assumptions in plain language. You maintain full agency over your decisions.
Human-in-the-loop always
No autonomous execution. No "set it and forget it." Every action requires your explicit approval. Tools support your judgment — they don't replace it.
No custody, no control
BotDaddy never holds your funds, never places trades for you, and never has access to move your money. You maintain complete custody and control at all times.
Explainable by default
Every recommendation, every scenario, every strategy comes with clear explanations. No black boxes. No mysterious algorithms. Just clarity about what's happening and why.
Building capability, not dependency
The goal isn't to make you reliant on BotDaddy — it's to grow your financial literacy and confidence over time. We succeed when you understand more, not when you need us more.
What This Means in Practice
Learn: Financial concepts explained without jargon or gatekeeping.
See: Scenarios, strategies, and tradeoffs laid out clearly — including risks and limitations.
Decide: Tools that inform your choices, with you maintaining full control.
Who This Is For
BotDaddy is built for regular people who've been excluded, intimidated, or exploited by traditional finance. It's for anyone who wants to grow their financial capability without surrendering their agency.
Who This Is Not For
BotDaddy is not for people seeking:
- Fully automated trading systems
- Get-rich-quick schemes or hype-driven investments
- Tools that take control away from you
- Black-box algorithms that can't explain their reasoning
Our Commitments
- Transparency: Clear communication about how BotDaddy works, what it can and cannot do, and what risks are involved.
- Minimal retention: We collect only what's necessary (email for invites/onboarding). No selling data. No spam.
- Slow, intentional growth: Invites are issued slowly so onboarding stays human and quality remains high.
- Continuous improvement: We're committed to learning from users and refining the experience based on real needs.
