Toolkits & DIY Packages

We built it, so you don't have to. 

The tools, templates, and checklists we use with our own clients. Some are free; some are built to buy. Grab what you need, do it yourself, and call us when you want a partner in the room.

Free to download

No cost, no catch. Free tools diagnose the problem. Drop your email and the toolkit lands in your inbox.

Do It Yourself

Real tools that save real hours. The same frameworks we build for clients, packaged so you can run them yourself, ready to use the day you download.

Strategic Plan in a Box

The complete DIY strategic planning system:  templates, agenda scripts, a survey question bank, a board retreat runsheet, and the final plan template. Everything we'd bring to a full engagement, built for teams doing it themselves.

Crisis Comms Ready Kit

Respond fast when the stakes are high: holding-statement templates, spokesperson prep, an escalation decision tree, and a media log. Preparedness is built in calm, not scrambled in chaos.

The Board Meeting Rescue Kit

Agendas, a consent-agenda template, and a decision log that pay for themselves in a single meeting. Turn three-hour meetings that decide nothing into one hour that moves.

The Event Budget & Runsheet Pack

A genuine working tool from 15+ years of festival production. A fillable budget in Excel plus a minute-by-minute runsheet template. Not a worksheet. A tool.

MEL Made Simple

Prove your impact without a PhD. A plain-language monitoring, evaluation, and learning framework built for funder reports, from the team that does this for a living.

Before You Run for Office

The Honest Candidate Workbook. Everything to think through before you put your name on a ballot, from someone who's run campaigns.

Bundles built around a single job, each with exclusive pieces you can't get anywhere else. Buy the shelf, save over the pieces, and get the tools that only live in the bundle.

Rather Have Us In the Room?

DIY isn't for every project. If you'd rather have a partner build it with you, facilitate the sessions, do the analysis, write the plan, that's what we do best. And the whole library comes with it.
