Built around a real workflow

Start with what actually happened.

01 / Enter your assumptions

Use your own prices, time and costs. Sample values show the method, not what you should charge.

02 / Compare the complete picture

Separate recorded cash costs from the value of your time, then check what a different scenario changes.

03 / Keep the learning

The workbooks pair a reusable plan with a worked example and a completed-work log.
