Resources · Free downloads
No-fluff downloads written for SMB owners who want a clear baseline, not a sales pitch.
Each resource is a working checklist or guide you can use today. Designed for an SMB owner or operations lead to read in one sitting, score honestly, and turn into a short list of decisions for the next month or quarter.
Free PDF · AI enablement
Ten short sections, twenty checkpoints. A practical baseline for whether AI usage inside your business is controlled, secure, and delivering value, or has grown quietly without a plan.
Covers: visibility, policy, ownership, data protection, security, output validation, cost control, integration, risk, direction.
Free PDF · Cyber security
Eight categories, around fifty checkpoints. A practical scorecard for Australian small businesses to identify where their cyber posture is strong, where it is exposed, and what to fix next.
Covers: identity, devices, email, data, backups, awareness, response, governance.
Free PDF · Renewal review
A structured renewal-review guide. Ten questions with what a good answer sounds like and what a poor answer sounds like, so the conversation with your current or prospective MSP is informed and direct.
Useful when: approaching a renewal, evaluating a new provider, or auditing how the current relationship is performing.
Free tool · Hardware lifecycle
Three sliders, live numbers. Compare the 4-year cost of running aged business laptops against a planned refresh. Defaults reflect a typical 15-person Microsoft 365 office, but adjust to your fleet.
Calibrated against: Microsoft 2018 PC TCO study, Techaisle 700-business survey, industry research on slow-computer costs and asset lifecycle.
Free tool · Self-managed IT
Managing your own IT is not free, it is just paid in staff time instead of invoices. Put in your user count, the hours your team already spends, and what an hour of that time is worth, and compare it against AgileASSURE, AgileCORE and AgileCOMPLETE.
No assumed statistics: every figure comes from the numbers you enter. It also shows the break-even point where each managed option becomes cheaper than doing it yourself.
Why we publish these
The resources here are the same checklists we walk through in discovery conversations. We publish them because a business owner who has already done the homework is better prepared for the conversation that follows, whether that conversation is with us or with a current provider.
Each resource is designed to be read and scored in one sitting. You do not need a consultant in the room to get value from the first pass.
The conversations that happen when leadership disagrees about what is and is not in place are often more useful than the score itself.
An unchecked box is a clear, structured starting point for the next month's work. The pattern of gaps tells the partner where to begin.
