Templates that are right on the day you download them

Most AI templates are PDFs with prices and rules typed in. They were true when somebody made the file and have been quietly going wrong ever since. These are assembled at the moment you click, from the same verified facts the lessons use, so the tool comparison has today’s free plans and the readiness checklist has today’s dates.

AI tool comparison

All 32 tools in the Tool Atlas in one spreadsheet: who makes each one, the free plan, paid plans, what it's best at, what to watch out for and what happens to your data. Built at the moment you download it, so it is current rather than commemorative.

Taught in The Tool Atlas: choosing the right tool

Checklist.mdFree

What not to paste: a one-page card

The four kinds of information to stop and think about before they go into an AI tool, a traffic-light test, how to get help without the data, and what to do if something slips through.

Taught in Data, privacy and your workplace

Policy.md

AI acceptable-use policy (one page)

A ten-section, one-page acceptable-use policy covering approved tools, data rules, checking, disclosure, training and mistakes, with notes on each major tool's current data terms for whoever fills it in.

Taught in Writing an AI policy

Brief.md

AI pilot plan

A one-page pilot charter with a baseline, success and guardrail measures, stop criteria set in advance and a decision date, plus a weekly log and a decision record, so a pilot ends with an answer instead of drifting.

Taught in Finding and prioritising use cases

Calculator.csv

AI use-case scoring sheet

Score AI ideas on value, feasibility and risk with a written reason for each, so the choice of what to do first comes from visible assumptions rather than the loudest voice. Anything at maximum risk is flagged for separate review automatically.

Taught in Finding and prioritising use cases

Checklist.md

EU AI Act and UK readiness checklist

Scope, dates, inventory, classification, deployer duties, AI literacy, UK GDPR and automated decisions, the sector regulators and the standards, in one checklist whose every regulatory fact is current on the day you download it.

Taught in AI regulation: the EU AI Act and the UK approach

Template.md

Prompt template library

Eleven tested prompt templates for everyday work, from meeting notes to spreadsheet formulas, each with the rules that make it work and the one thing to check in every result.

Taught in Prompting well

Checklist.md

Sign-off checklist by risk level

Decide the stakes first, then apply the checks that level deserves: a read-through for low-risk drafts, claim-checking for anything that leaves your team, and full tracing and second review for the high-stakes work.

Taught in Checking AI's work

Template.md

Small-business 30-day AI starter plan

Two tasks, one tool, one month: a week-by-week plan to find out whether AI actually saves your business time, with the real costs, a data rule and a decision at the end.

Taught in AI for small businesses

How this works

A token, not a number

Inside each template, a fact is written as a reference rather than a value. The file says {{fact:chatgpt.free_plan}} rather than a description of the plan. When you download it, that reference is replaced with the current value and the date it was last verified.

Which means a template you downloaded in January and one you download today are different files, and both were right when they were made. Download it again before you reuse one for a new decision. It takes a second, and it is the difference between a document that holds up and one that quietly does not.
