Tools
Each tool is a text box. Write or paste your draft, and it is reviewed automatically against named checks. Every run is saved with its date, so you can see what changed between versions.
Position builder
Write who you serve, the problem as they feel it, the change you make and the proof you bring, then compress it into two sentences. The compression is where the work is.
Not openedEarly accessIssue tree builder
Write a real question at the top and break it into branches, one per line. The review checks the branches for overlaps and gaps, and against the decision test, which usually removes a third of them.
Not openedEarly accessSo-what ladder
Write a fact on the first line, then ask “so what?” of each line until it reaches an action inside someone’s authority. Two or three rungs, usually.
Not openedEarly accessScope builder
Write the four parts of a scope: the question, the method, what is out of scope, and what you will hand over. Beginners write three of them, and the missing one is what causes overruns.
Not openedEarly accessStoryline builder
Write a governing statement, then three to five supports beneath it. If it does not argue as a paragraph, no formatting will save the document.
Not openedEarly accessTrust equation
Pick a real client relationship and score credibility, reliability, intimacy and self-orientation, then say which term you will move and how.
Not openedEarly accessStakeholder map
List each stakeholder with their power and interest, and what you will do about each one. Then answer the fourth question, which a map does not show.
Not openedEarly accessDay rate calculator
Write your target income, the billable days you actually expect, your costs and the rate that follows. The divisor is the whole argument, so use your real numbers.
Not openedEarly accessBid / no-bid scorer
Score each factor of a bid you are weighing, then write the decision and the reason. Be honest with the inputs: bidding on everything is how a new practice exhausts itself.
Not openedEarly accessPractice financials
Write your pipeline, utilisation and cash, then what the three say when read together. Individually they mislead.
Not openedEarly accessSelf-assessment
Score each capability honestly and give the evidence for anything you scored 3 or above. 3 means you can do it reliably under normal conditions.
