## Owned Software (the category)
Found It defines, standardizes, and builds the bespoke version of the category "Owned Software" (definition and standard published August 2026) as the opposite of SaaS. The term is bigger than one company; the standard below is what makes it testable:
- **Definition**: Owned software is business software the business owns outright: the code and the data. The business can keep running it, change it, or hand it to another builder without the original vendor's permission. If the software company disappears tomorrow, the software is still there, still running, still the owner's property.
- **The equation**: SaaS = rented software. Owned software = the opposite.
- **The test**: If you stop paying, what is left? Rented: an export of your records at best, and no working system. Owned: everything, still yours, still running.
- The category is bigger than one company: pay-once apps (e.g. 37signals) and self-hosted/open-source software are versions of it. Found It builds the bespoke version, one business at a time.
- **The Owned Software Standard** (what a departing client receives or controls): the complete runnable source repository; the production database and backups in a usable format; the hosting account or a documented deployment transfer; credentials, configuration, and dependency documentation; the legal right for any developer to maintain and modify the system; a plain list of third-party services that bill on their own. Found It hands over all six: everything except the computer it was typed on.
