Questions
Before you buy.
Building the plan yourself first? The guides cover the thinking behind the templates.
Which pack should I choose?
One straightforward deal, where you’re happy keeping the logs in step yourself: Core. A complex programme with a lot of moving parts: Pro, which links the logs for you and tracks payback. A team, or use with clients: Enterprise.
Are the templates blank?
No. Every one comes filled in for a sample deal, with a short guide tab. You overwrite the example rather than start from an empty grid.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. All four board views run free on the sample deal, the 25-risk register is free to keep, and the 30-day refund covers you after purchase.
Do the files get updated?
Core and Pro are the current version on the day you buy, and yours to keep. Enterprise and Advisory include lifetime updates through a shared folder.
Can we get an invoice before paying?
Yes. Email help@mergeandland.com with the pack and your company details.
Is our deal data safe in the board views?
Yes. Each view runs on your own computer and is blocked from the internet by design. Nothing is uploaded or tracked, and it works with the wifi off.
