Meet Town → A storybook town of the people, companies and topics worth keeping an eye on — people are little animals in odd vehicles, companies are buildings, topics are billboards, and the roads between them are the connections. Dated notes, a next-touch date, tags and links on each one. Everything stays in your browser, encrypted with the password, with an encrypted backup file you can export and import. Export License Board → Every export authorization a business holds, laid out as a board of hex tiles — one per destination country, coloured by whether shipments are covered, expiring, waiting on an agency or stopped. Click a country for what each license covers, its end-user, its drawdown and the conditions riding on it, with a twelve-month renewal calendar, a sortable list view and CSV export (demo data). Export License Screener → Enter a part number or description of a piece of equipment to get a quick first-pass read on whether it likely needs a US export license — the probable CCL category, ECCN and control reasons, with product-catalog lookup, destination flags, restricted-party screening and a check of whether the license board already covers it (demo data), plus a printable screening record. Moat Deleter → Identify the structural moat a sector or business relies on, classify the power behind it, expose its load-bearing weakness, and follow a step-by-step playbook to drain it. NIS2 Requirement Tracker → Look up EU NIS2 supply-chain and cybersecurity requirements and track compliance. CMMC C3PAO Status Checker → Enter a CAGE code or business name to assess whether an entity has completed a CMMC third-party (C3PAO) assessment — with a brief status summary (level, date, assessor) and a running index of entities and their current CMMC status. What I Pay For a… → A running daily budget of the small recurring things — a cup of coffee, a smoothie — with the cost per day, a short note on each, and live monthly and yearly totals so you can see your real overhead and where to trim.
