Questions

Frequently asked questions

What format are the templates in?

Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (.pptx), built for the desktop Microsoft 365 apps. There are no macros and nothing to install. The files also open in LibreOffice. Most of the Excel files work in Google Sheets, but the charts and conditional formatting render best in desktop Excel.

Are the templates blank?

No. Every file ships with a realistic worked example based on a fictional deal, plus a README tab or page explaining how to use it. You replace the example data with your own rather than starting from an empty grid.

How is the toolkit delivered?

By instant download link after checkout, as a single ZIP for your tier. Enterprise and Advisory purchasers also receive a shared Google Drive folder within 24 hours, which is where lifetime updates land.

Which tier should I choose?

If you are running one straightforward integration and are happy keeping separate files in sync yourself, Core covers it. If it is a complex, multi-workstream programme where the logs and trackers need to cross-reference each other, Pro's connected workbooks do that linking for you. If you are deploying to a team, or using the files with clients, Enterprise adds the deployment kit and white-label rights.

What does the licence allow?

Core and Pro are licensed to a single purchaser for their own transactions. Enterprise and Advisory include white-label rights: remove our branding, use the files across your organisation on unlimited deals, including as client-facing deliverables. Reselling the templates themselves is not permitted. Full details are in the terms.

What is the refund policy?

A 30-day money-back guarantee on every tier. Email within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.

Can I see the templates before buying?

Yes, in two ways. The homepage shows a preview of the Board Dashboard built from the toolkit's own worked example, and the Board View page lets you explore the same dashboard interactively with example data.

Building the plan yourself first?

The guides cover the thinking behind the templates: how to build a 100-day integration plan, what a Day One checklist must cover, and how an Integration Management Office actually works.
