Checklists we use on real engagements.

Yes. The three checklists (the MCP hardening checklist, the twelve AI integration failure modes and the cost ledger) are printable pages with no sign-up. The AI project brief template is delivered by email from the Spec page, also at no cost. Nothing here sits behind a paywall or a gated form beyond an email address.

Operations buyers scoping their first AI integration, engineering leads connecting a model to internal tools, department heads and COOs about to commission a build, and finance or operations leaders budgeting a project. Each guide names its audience; pick the one that matches the decision in front of you.

The free guides are samplers and checklists written from real engagements. The paid manuals under /training (the SCOPE Framework, 150+ pages and 50+ prompt templates, the CLI infrastructure programme and the consultants workbook) are the full material we teach workshops from, so they stay paid rather than being reproduced here.

Yes. /brief is the same nine sections as the free template, as a form. Blanks are fine, and submitting sends your answers to J Labs, which replies within one business day with a first take on scope and a price range, rather than leaving the filled-in form to sit in a downloads folder.

No. Each guide stands on its own: print it, work through it with your team, and use it to challenge a vendor or scope your own project. If a guide raises a question specific to your systems, a 20 or 45-minute discovery call at /contact#book is the next step, not a requirement.
