Find Out Your Current Position in the Strategy Space Most owners can describe what they sell. Far fewer can say why a customer picks them over the firm down the road — and the answer is usually not the one on the homepage. What you hand over Your website address. Nothing else. The analysis reads your own pages before it says anything about you. What you get back A plain description of your business — what you offer, who you serve, roughly how big you are, what stage you are at. A recommended way of reading your strategy, chosen for your situation rather than applied off the shelf. Your competitive position: which of seven ways of winning your business actually runs on. Why the position matters Everything downstream depends on it. A firm that wins on deep relationships and a firm that wins on lowest cost need opposite things from the same budget. Getting this wrong makes every later decision expensive. Takes a few minutes. No account, no sales call, and nothing is published anywhere.
EMERGING TRENDS — STEADY — FADING TRENDS
See what is changing around you The forces moving in your market — what is emerging, what is fading, what is steady — and the people and organisations already acting on each one. Scan my market
See what is changing around you Not a trends list. A read of the specific forces touching your business, each one sorted by whether it is picking up, running out, or holding steady. What you get back Named forces, not categories — with what is happening and what would tell you it is real. Who is already moving on each one: allies worth knowing, and people whose decisions land on you. What is fading, which is usually where money is still being spent out of habit. Why it is different from a market report A market report describes an industry. This reads your pages first, then names only the forces that reach you — and says where it looked, so you can check it. Best run after the profile, so the scan knows what kind of business it is scanning for.

Your Whole Business on One Page A first draft of the whole business — customers, costs, what you sell, what makes you worth choosing — in one sitting. Build my canvas
Your Whole Business on One Page Most people carry the business around in their head and stall on writing a plan. This is not a plan. It is one page, drafted in one sitting, that you can look at and argue with. What ends up on the page Who you serve, what you sell them, and why they would pick you over anyone else. How they find you, who you need alongside you, and what you already have to work with. What it costs to run and where the money comes from. Built for a room, not a desk It works on a phone, which is what most people have with them. There is no research step that can stall halfway through, and no jargon to decode. A few questions and the page comes back. One thing it asks rather than assumes What you are genuinely good at. That is the hardest square on the page and the one worth most, so it is a question rather than a guess.

Due Diligence: The Conversation Before the Application Twenty minutes with a client, in ranges rather than figures, ending in what they need to bring you. Walk through it
Due Diligence: The Conversation Before the Application Sit down with a client and work through what you would ask for anyway. They leave with an ordered list of what to get ready, while there is still time to get it. The three things it checks Whether they can repay — trading history, what comes in, what is already committed, and what the money is for. Whether they are your borrower — every lender serves a defined community, and that question is cheaper asked early than discovered late. Whether the paperwork exists — the file you ask for every time, and how much of it is assembled today. Ranges, not figures Nobody is asked for an exact revenue, an exact debt balance or a credit score. Every money question offers ranges, and not knowing is an answer that produces a step rather than a gap. It works in a room, on a phone, with someone who brought no paperwork. What it will not do It never says whether a loan will be approved, and it never writes any part of an application. The decision stays with you.

Covered for AI? Probably not anymore. Insurance, IP agreements, and what your staff are doing unsupervised — the three places your protection fell behind how you are actually using AI. Run the check
Covered for AI? Probably not anymore. Your people started using AI faster than your paperwork changed. This finds the gap before someone else does. Three things it looks at Insurance and liability — what your current cover was written to protect against, and what it was not. Contracts and what you own — who ends up holding the rights to work an AI helped produce. Your own rules — what staff are doing with AI that nobody has approved, and what it costs when it goes wrong. What it gives you The questions to put to your broker and your attorney, in their language, so the conversation takes twenty minutes instead of two meetings. What it will never do It will not tell you a policy is adequate, and it will not draft contract language. Those are jobs for the people you are being prepared to talk to. Needs your current documents attached. Without them it produces nothing, by design.

Find the Funding You Can Actually Get A directory tells you what exists. This works out which of it applies to a business your size, at your stage, and what each source will want from you before you approach it. What it looks at Grants, loans, and funds across the whole range — from a first microloan to bond financing at nation scale. What each funding source actually requires, so you know what you are walking into. What is current, rather than what a published list said when it was published. Why it exists Every other tool in the suite kept arriving at the same blocker: the plan is sound and the capital is the problem. Nothing here chased that down until this did.
