Limits of what is possible

What happens when the system is not sure

The system is meant to

  • show the sources it found
  • say which data is missing
  • separate fact from assumption
  • suggest uploading another document
  • forward the question to a professional when legal or tax advice is needed

What BauWalker does not do

BauWalker does not replace a lawyer, tax advisor or other qualified professional, and does not invent an answer where there is no reliable basis. It helps you understand the situation faster and prepare working documents.
