Tools
Each tool takes a draft and returns a review against named tests. Every run is kept and dated, so you can see what changed between versions.
Position builder
Answer the four questions, then compress. The compression is where the work is.
Not openedIssue tree builder
Decompose a real question. Then apply the decision test and watch a third of it disappear.
Not openedSo-what ladder
Push a fact until it reaches an action inside someone's authority. Two or three rungs, usually.
Not openedScope builder
The four parts. Beginners write three of them, and the fourth is what causes overruns.
Not openedStoryline builder
Governing statement plus three to five supports. If it does not argue as a paragraph, no formatting will save the document.
Not openedTrust equation
(Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy) ÷ Self-orientation. Score yourself on a real client relationship.
Not openedStakeholder map
Drag each stakeholder by power and interest. Then answer the fourth question, which the map does not show.
Not openedDay rate calculator
The divisor is the whole argument. Use your real numbers.
Not openedBid / no-bid scorer
Be honest with the inputs. Bidding indiscriminately is how a new practice exhausts itself producing unpaid documents.
Not openedPractice financials
Three numbers, read together. Individually they mislead.
Not openedSelf-assessment
Score honestly. 3 means you can do it reliably under normal conditions; 5 means under pressure with a difficult client.
