Everything here is free and needs no email
Templates, playbooks, a cost calculator, a maturity assessment and three scenario simulators. No gate, no form, no follow-up sequence.
Every download on this site is free, and none of it sits behind a form. You can take the templates, use them on Monday and never hear from me again — which is the arrangement I'd want if I were the one downloading.
There's a newsletter at the bottom of this page. It's optional and it unlocks nothing, because a resource you have to trade an email address for isn't free. It's just priced in a currency that's harder to see on the way in.
The tools
Cost of bad data calculator puts a defensible number on what your current data problems cost per year. It runs in the browser and nothing is sent anywhere. This is usually the fastest route to a governance conversation with a budget attached, because it turns "our data is bad" into a figure a CFO can argue with — and a CFO who is arguing with your number is a CFO who is engaged with your problem.
Maturity assessment is a practical DAMA-based scorecard. About fifteen minutes, and it comes back with your maturity level, a five-axis radar chart and three quick wins aimed at your weakest pillar. Start here if you know something is wrong but can't yet name it in a sentence.
Template library holds the Excel and Word files I actually open on client work: pain-point identification, a 5W2H governance framing, governance evolution stages, catalog tool use cases, principles and policies, and a governance scorecard. They have blank columns on purpose.
Playbooks are two PDFs — one on standing up data governance, one on AI governance — plus the maturity assessment framework as a document you can rewrite in your own words.
Scenario simulators are three branching scenarios that put you inside the trade-offs instead of describing them: Data Governance Day-to-Day, Who Owns This? and Data Literacy. They take about ten minutes each and they are more fun than this sentence suggests. If you want to run them with your own team, on a private leaderboard and rewritten around your systems, that's the workshop format — and what the public runs have revealed so far is on the simulator results page.
Where to start
If you don't know what's wrong, start with the maturity assessment. If you know what's wrong and need budget, start with the calculator. If you have budget and need to put something in front of people next week, start with the templates.
And if you'd rather read than download, the glossary defines the vocabulary and the articles work through the arguments properly. Nothing here expires, so there's no rush.
