Tools I built for the businesses I work with. Now free for yours.
36 tools in six groups, pulled straight from client engagements. Every one is free to use, with a printable report and no email required.
Pick the problem you have
I sorted these by the problem they solve, the way I'd sort papers across a client's desk. Open the one that matches what's stuck.
Where you stand
Score your organisation and rank your use cases before any budget is committed.
Most AI programmes I review started with a vendor demo and worked backwards. These tools run the other way: they score where you are today, show which processes are already covered, and rank the use cases worth funding first.
Usually opened by CEOs, strategy leads and anyone asked to "do something with AI" this year.

Value and ROI
Model the return before you build, then measure the return you are getting.
Finance teams rarely reject AI. They reject AI numbers that cannot be checked. The calculator gives you a defensible estimate before the business case; the dashboard and the ledger give you figures a CFO and a board will accept afterwards.
Usually opened by CFOs, programme owners and anyone writing an AI business case.

Board and governance
The checks a board, a regulator or an auditor will ask for.
Governance documents are easy to write and hard to evidence. Each tool here asks the follow-up question an auditor or regulator would ask, so a "yes" only counts when it would hold up. Several print a register or a board pack you can table at the next meeting.
Usually opened by Directors, audit and risk committees, CROs and compliance leads.

Agent labs
Check the task suits an agent, then build one in your browser and test it against real launch standards.
Reading about agents only gets you so far. Start by testing whether the task suits an agent at all. Then the three labs let you build one, then a team, then attack it, with no code and nothing saved. Each ends with the governance record an IMDA or ISO 42001 review would expect.
Usually opened by Managers who will approve agents, and teams about to build their first one.

Build, buy and run
Choose the vendor, the contract and the data foundation, then keep the system healthy.
The expensive AI mistakes are usually made in procurement and architecture, months before anyone notices. These tools cover the choices around a system: build or buy, which vendor, which contract, which data foundation, and how to watch it once it is live.
Usually opened by CIOs, CTOs, procurement leads and operations owners.

Reference
The frameworks, patterns and rubrics behind every tool above.
Every tool on this site rests on a published method. This is where those methods live: the frameworks, a long-form briefing, the agent pattern catalogue and the scoring rubric. Use them when you need to explain a score or cite the method behind it.
Usually opened by Practitioners, auditors and anyone who wants to check the working.

The workshop takes these same diagnostics and turns them into a structured half-day session with a benchmarked scorecard and roadmap. Or skip straight to a private session on your specific situation.
New tools, straight to your inbox.
No spam, no drip sequence. Just an email when a new tool or essay goes live.
Every tool in these six groups exists because I got tired of giving the same answer over email, so I built something you could use without needing me in the room. None of these will make the decision for you. They'll make sure you're deciding with the right information already in front of you. Use whichever one gets you unstuck today.
