GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you begin.

Can I use the planning tools for free?

Yes. The browser planning tools are free to use and do not require an account. Their results are estimates or structured prompts, not guaranteed business outcomes.

Does this website sell a software subscription or course?

The site currently provides guides, planning tools and business enquiries. Any proposed paid work, provider, scope and price must be confirmed in writing before you commit.

What should I include in an enquiry?

Describe your business, the task or problem, the tools you already use and the result you would like. Do not send passwords, customer lists or confidential documents.
