About
I’ve spent twenty-eight years in corporate learning and development. My field has a name for what these tools are: performance support. It rests on something most training departments learn the hard way. A great many problems at work are not knowledge problems. People already know what they’re supposed to do. What they’re missing is the right tool at the moment they need it.
HR work is full of those moments. The roster that won’t reconcile. The export with two date formats in one column. The turnover figure that has to stand up in front of leadership on Thursday. None of the arithmetic is hard, but it’s full of quiet traps, and the traps produce plausible numbers instead of errors.
So I’m building the tools properly and giving them away. Each one does a single job that should take a minute and usually takes an afternoon, and gives the afternoon back.
How these work
- Free, and no account. No email wall, no trial, no credits. If a tool is here, you can use it.
- Your files never upload. Every tool reads your file in your browser, and it never reaches a server, mine or anyone else’s. The privacy page shows how to check that for yourself in ten seconds.
- One job per tool. Each does a single thing and gets out of the way.
- Every figure shows its work. The formula, the inputs, what was assumed and what was left out. You know your organization, so the judgment stays with you.
- No AI. The same file gives the same answer every time, instantly.
- Nothing decides a regulated question. No entitlements, classifications or deadlines, because those turn on law and circumstance rather than arithmetic.
If something you need is missing, or something here is wrong, tell me. Please don’t send the file itself: describe its shape, and that’s almost always enough.
