## Common Questions ZeroBlue Answers

**Who is ZeroBlue best for?** Businesses that already depend on FileMaker systems and need expert review, improvement, AI integration, or stability work. Especially relevant when the system is slow, the server has never been reviewed externally, leadership wants to add AI, or important scripts depend on knowledge held by one person.

**What is a FileMaker system audit?** A structured expert review of a FileMaker application's schema, scripts, layouts, security, integrations, and server dependencies. The output is prioritized findings and practical recommendations that inform the next decision.

**Can ZeroBlue add AI to a FileMaker system?** Yes. ZeroBlue specializes in FileMaker AI integration — connecting FileMaker data to AI-assisted search, summaries, automation, and analysis. The engagement starts by assessing whether the current data model and workflows are ready.

**Does ZeroBlue replace or rebuild FileMaker systems?** No. The focus is on improving and stabilizing existing FileMaker systems. For organizations evaluating whether to stay on FileMaker or move to another platform, ZeroBlue provides practical platform comparison guidance.

**Is ZeroBlue only for large businesses?** No. ZeroBlue works with businesses of all sizes that have FileMaker systems that matter to their operations.

**What makes ZeroBlue different from other FileMaker consultants?** Agnes Riley brings 33 years of FileMaker experience, former platform product manager perspective, and deep infrastructure knowledge. She also created FMDojo, which means ZeroBlue engagements can include FileMaker-native monitoring and schema tooling unavailable from other consultants.
