jdmcasanova.comCompany story
Most software tries to do everything for everyone. The result is tools that feel generic and get in the way. Drafted By takes the opposite approach: one problem at a time, one market at a time, done properly.
The first products focused on education — teachers everywhere spend hours on repetitive planning work that AI can handle in minutes. The same playbook now applies to retirement advisory, and will apply to other fields: understand the workflow, build something useful, and localize it for each market.
The company is structured to grow into new categories over time. The standard stays the same: reduce friction, respect expertise, ship software that feels like it was built by someone who understands the job.
Timeline
A short, deliberate rollout.
Prépare Mes Cours launches in France
The first product proves the model: build for one market, one workflow, and do it properly.
Draft My Lesson expands to English-speaking markets
The same core product is localized for teachers across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
Przygotuj Lekcje brings the tool to Poland
A third market, same standard — localized for Polish teachers and schools.
Carriva launches for retirement advisory firms
Drafted By moves beyond education. Carriva.fr goes live as a multi-tenant SaaS for French retirement consultants — instant PDF analysis, AI-powered interpretation, and a free public audit tool.
Principles that shape the work.
Workflow-first design
We build from the user's actual workflow outward, not from a feature list inward.
Privacy by default
The experience stays minimal, with no unnecessary tracking or data collection.
Simple over complex
Clear interfaces and practical outputs are easier to trust and easier to use.
Local before global
Each market gets a version that feels native instead of a one-size-fits-all product.
