## Frequently asked questions

### What is Jack, the Franchise Grade AI advisor?

Jack is an AI assistant built on Franchise Grade's franchise research — investment ranges, fees, unit data and educational content indexed from Franchise Disclosure Documents across more than 3,000 U.S. systems. It answers questions about brands and the buying process during the research phase.

### Is the AI advisor free, and does any brand pay for placement?

Jack is free to use and no franchisor pays to appear in or move up its answers. It draws on the same independently indexed FDD data published across the site, which is what separates it from a brokerage recommendation funded by a placement commission.

### Can an AI advisor replace a human franchise advisor?

No, and it is not intended to. Jack helps you research faster and arrive at better questions. Deciding whether a specific system fits your market and capital still needs validation calls with current and former franchisees, and the agreement still needs review by a franchise attorney.

### What can I ask the AI franchise advisor?

Questions about what a brand costs, what fees it charges, how many units it operates, what its FDD discloses, and how the buying process works — from what an Item 19 is to what happens at discovery day. It is most useful before you contact a franchisor, when you are still deciding what to ask.
