Preview the catalogue. Buying opens after payment setup and our final editorial review.

Start with the decision
People launching or revising a local service offer.
Use competitors serving a similar customer and geography. Record public URLs and observation dates. Compare inclusions, exclusions and purchase steps before comparing headline prices.
Mark whether a price is published, quoted or unknown. Do not infer sales, profit or demand from a polished website.
Choose an offer difference you can deliver. Record the target customer, intended price, channel and an observable success criterion. Interviews and paid behaviour are stronger evidence than page count.
A look inside
Fictional values from the workbook. Amounts are illustrative currency units, not a market rate or a customer result.
A public-information research worksheet, not a completed market study or proof of demand.
Not yet. The catalogue is open for previews while payment setup and final editorial review are completed. There is no charge, paid reservation or order at this stage.
No. The planned shop sells each product separately for a one-off price. You will not need a membership, a bundle or a credit balance.
Each product includes a PDF guide, an editable Excel workbook, a fictional worked example, a blank worksheet with 50 prepared rows and a decision log. Working kits also include an implementation plan and an adaptable message. The exact file list is on each product page.
A PDF reader and spreadsheet software that supports standard .xlsx formulas. The workbooks contain no macros or external data connections. Formula results depend on your inputs and your spreadsheet software recalculating them. No paid AI account is required.
