Instruments, not calculators.

Every free HR calculator takes three numbers and gives you back one. These take the thing you actually have, your week or your pay structure, and tell you what is wrong with it in language that survives the room.

Nothing you type is uploaded. No account, no tracking, no server. Each one is a single file that keeps working after you save it.

HR Math The hours no system records. Turn the unlogged hours of an HR week into a number you can defend. The work that never lands on a ticket is the work that never gets resourced. You leave with A defensible figure for the invisible half of your week. Open it Download
Comp Band Builder Structure you can defend. Build a salary band structure from your own numbers, see where your people actually sit inside it, and price the move before you propose it. You leave with A band structure, a placement read, and a costed recommendation. Open it Download
JD Auditor What the job asks against what it gives. Paste a job description and get a defensible read on it. Most of them gate for one job and describe another, and the person who has to live with that is rarely the person who wrote it. You leave with A findings list you can hand back to the hiring manager. Open it Download
HR Operating Calendar See the year before it hits you. Put the whole HR year on one map: every recurring cycle, every deadline, and the weeks where three of them land at once. You leave with A year map showing exactly where your cycles collide. Open it Download
FullThread ER Keep the whole thread. Work an employee relations case from first report to close in one place, so the record stays whole and what you decided is still defensible two years later. You leave with A complete, ordered case record. Open it Download

More on the way. The kits and playbooks are being rebuilt into this shelf next.
