DIGITAL TOOLS

Decision tools you buy once and run on your own machine.

These are private, offline, browser-based tools, not SaaS. Open the file, enter your numbers, get a decision. No sign-up, no subscription, and no data leaves your computer unless you export it yourself. Below are three decision simulators built to the same standard, plus three shorter guides on the same operating problems.

Want to see how they work before paying for one? Each has a free calculator that runs the same engine in your browser, with no signup and no email capture.

FREE, NO SIGNUP

Six calculators you can use right now without paying anything.

No email required, nothing uploaded. Four are single-unit versions of the paid simulators; two answer the marketing questions every local operator eventually asks. If the free version answers your question, keep it.

Missed-Call Revenue Calculator

Free

Call volume, your miss rate (or a sourced industry default), close rate and job value in; monthly and annual revenue at risk, value per missed call, and an honest break-even against fixing it out. It will tell you when the fix does NOT pay.

Open the calculator

Span of Control Calculator

Free

Headcount, loaded cost and a target span in; the management structure that span implies, the annual run-rate difference, and a manager-capacity time test out. One org-wide unit.

Open the calculator

Erlang C Staffing Calculator

Free

Calls, handle time and your service standard in; productive agents, the roster you have to schedule after shrinkage, achieved service level and occupancy out. One interval.

Open the calculator

Warehouse Shift Capacity Calculator

Free

Backlog, forecast, rate and roster in; the capacity that shift really produces after shrinkage and attendance, the backlog it closes with, and the headcount needed to hit your target out. One function, one shift.

Open the calculator

Local Ads ROI Calculator

Free

Monthly spend, CPC, conversion rate, close rate, job value and margin in; the whole chain out: leads, cost per customer, ROAS, actual profit, and the maximum CPC your economics can afford. It will tell you when the account loses money per click.

Open the calculator

LTV vs CAC Calculator

Free

Average ticket, purchase frequency, margin, retention and acquisition cost in; margin-based lifetime value, LTV:CAC ratio, payback months, and the most you can afford to pay for a customer out. Refuses to compute the flattering revenue version.

What they aren't

  • Not SaaS. There is no account, no login, and no vendor holding your data
  • Not a guarantee of savings, headcount reduction, or any financial result
  • Not employment, legal, financial, or regulatory advice
  • Not a replacement for validating the output against your own operation
