why these are free
The tools diagnose. The playbooks respond.
Each free tool answers one question: is this in scope, is this client a risk, is this rate sustainable. When the answer calls for a hard conversation, the matching playbook has the exact words — that’s the part worth paying for.
"While you're in there, could you also refresh the About page? Shouldn't take long."
New page not listed in agreement · "shouldn't take long" framing · no budget mentioned. This needs a scope conversation.
The free tool tells you what's happening — in seconds, no account.
Skip the diagnosis. Get every script.
