Free job costing, commission and lead tools for contractors

Each one is a single web page. Nothing you enter is uploaded, transmitted or stored anywhere by me, because there is nowhere for it to go.

Written by JD Davenport, who still sells for a living.

These are the useful part of the kits, given away. They work on a phone, they work offline once loaded, and you can save the page and keep it forever.

Banked
A private commission tracker for salespeople. Log a job the day it signs, mark it paid when the money lands, and always know where you stand. Works on any commission plan: a share of profit, a percentage of the sale, a flat amount, or a mix.

Charted
Paste the stops you have to cover and say how many one person can do in a day. It puts each day's work in one part of the map, in the order to drive it. Every US zip code is built in, so it works with no signal.
Open it →
Surfaced
Paste a payment ledger. It runs twelve reconciliation tests in your browser and hands back an exception register sorted by what failed and what it is worth. It also returns a price list per payee, built from what you actually paid.
Open it →
Landed
Paste your lead log. It gives you close rate and dollars per lead source, per area and per person, and it marks any row with too few decided leads as thin rather than letting you act on four jobs. It also says how far a single job would move each number, which is usually the whole answer.

Why they are free

Because the hard part was never the tool. It is knowing what to do with what it tells you, and that is what the kits and the book are for.

Which one do you need

If you cannot say what a job made after the crew was paid, start with Surfaced. It reads the payments you already have and tells you which rows are wrong before you try to price anything off them.

If you pay people a cut and the number comes up for discussion every month, start with Banked. It gives the person being paid their own record, so the conversation is two records agreeing or disagreeing rather than one person remembering.

If you are buying leads and cannot say which source pays, start with Landed. If your people are driving across the county twice before lunch, start with Charted.

Nothing is shared between them. Using one does not require any of the others, and none of them asks you to import anything.

What free means here

Free with no account. There is no sign-up, no email gate and no trial period. Open the page and use it. None of the four will ever ask you who you are.

Nothing you type leaves the device. Every one of these is a single web page that does its work in your browser. There is no server behind them to receive anything, so the data you paste in cannot be uploaded, sold, read by me, or lost in somebody's breach. That is a property of how they are built, not a promise about how they are run.

They work offline. Once the page has loaded once, it keeps working with no signal. Charted has every US zip code built into the page for exactly this reason: a route planner that needs a connection is no use in the places that need a route planner.

They work on a phone. All four are built for a thumb first, because the moment you want to log a job is the moment you walk out of somebody's house, not the evening you get back to a desk.

You can keep them. Save the page to your device and it is yours. If this site went offline tomorrow, the copy you saved would still run.

What happens to what you put in

They differ, and it is worth knowing which is which before you paste a year of anything into one.

Banked keeps every job you log in this browser, so your record is there next time, and it will hand you a backup file of the lot whenever you ask.

Charted remembers your settings: your crews, your capacity, your yard and the words you use for things. It does not remember the stops you pasted.

Surfaced remembers one thing, which is whether you had it in dark mode. Not a row of your ledger.

Landed remembers nothing at all.

So what you paste into Charted, Surfaced or Landed is gone when you close the tab. That is deliberate: a tool that quietly accumulates a year of your payment history in a browser is a liability nobody asked for.

Getting a result out: Banked writes a backup file, and Charted and Surfaced will copy their output to your clipboard so you can paste it where you keep things. Landed does neither yet, so for now you read it off the screen. Stated as fact. It is a gap rather than a decision.

There is a fifth one, and it is not free

Each tool above reads one thing. Helmed reads all of them at once: it takes the Handoff tab out of every kit workbook you keep and puts the whole business on one page, oldest and most expensive first. It runs in your browser like the rest and uploads nothing.

It is not given away, and not because it is the good one. A board with a single workbook behind it is a worse version of that workbook. Its whole value is the comparison across four, so it ships with The Complete Standard and nowhere else.

Helmed
One page that reads every kit workbook you keep and says what state the business is in. No server, no account, no database. A file that has never been opened is reported by name rather than shown as a zero.
