Free tools that show their work.

Two rules, both verifiable on the pages themselves. First: every figure is our own published pricing — the estimators place your inputs inside ranges that already live on our pricing page, dated, and never output a single dollar figure, because precision without seeing your file is theater. Second: the math is printed in the open — every tool's scoring or classification logic is written out in prose right below it, so you can check the reasoning or run it yourself with JavaScript off. A tool you can't audit is a lead form wearing a costume.

No. All three run entirely in your browser — no answers are submitted, stored, or connected to you. Each records a single anonymous analytics event noting that a result appeared and which category or band it was, so we can tell whether the tools genuinely help — never your individual answers, never anything identifying. What you enter reaches us only if and when you choose to book the free review and tell us yourself.

No — calibration, deliberately. Every result carries the same line: indicative — your fixed fee is scoped in writing after the free review. The real number can land below what a tool shows (simple files at the published floors are common, and sometimes the honest answer is DIY with our free guides), and it's fixed before any work starts, never hourly. The tools exist so you walk into that conversation knowing the honest ballpark and the right service — not so a widget replaces a senior operator reading your actual file.
