Surveyor sizes a market two ways, finds where buyers are poorly served, and shows where along the value chain the profit is made. The tool does the arithmetic itself, flags when the two size estimates disagree instead of averaging them, and ends with a clear move: where to play and how to get there.

Fulcrum reviews where your capital goes across business lines, products or bets. It places every unit on a nine-box of market attractiveness against competitive strength, shows which units are subsidized and which strong ones are starved of capital, and ends with a grow, hold, fix or exit call for each unit and a budget move that adds up.

Strategic Decision Assistant walks you through a big decision in six stages: get the facts straight, weigh your real options, build the numbers, write the recommendation memo, plan the pre-wire of the people you need on side (optional), and turn it into a story you can present. Each stage is reviewed and confirmed before the next one runs, so nothing moves forward on a guess.

Inventories a group’s tools by rack (Priorities/Pillar/Pulse), then AI-scores how well execution-tool usage (Sifter, Pliers, Compass) supports strategic-tool data (The Level, governance) and stores run history.

Paste in a plan and Pressure Test tries to break it. It lists what has to be true for the plan to work, grades the evidence behind each belief, plays out your rivals’ responses round by round, and ranks the risks that are most likely to hurt you, with an owner, an early warning sign and a response for each.

Ratchet turns a chosen strategy into work you can run. It forces a ranking of your initiatives into a shortlist that fits your capacity and a kill list with reasons, lays the shortlist out as a phased roadmap with owners and a first 90 days, designs the operating model to deliver it, and keeps a value ledger that tracks every promised benefit with dated check-ins. You keep several named plans and make every call; AI drafts each stage.

The Scope helps a founder decide who to sell to. Describe your company and optionally add a customer list, then work through five stages: best-fit segments, one ideal customer profile, the buying committee, prospects to avoid, and messaging. You review and confirm each stage, then download a file that lists everything you confirmed.

Upload your won and lost deals as a CSV and Caliper shows where your discounts go: by segment, by sales rep, and won against lost. It then names the most likely reason your prices leak and writes a step-by-step plan to fix it.

The Rival reads up to five competitor pages and builds a profile of each. It compares your product with them side by side, then predicts what each competitor is likely to do next and how you could respond. Use it before a pricing change, a launch or a planning meeting.

Board-Ready Executive Summary pulls the work you have already saved in your other Backshack tools into one place. You check what it found, then it writes a short executive summary you can edit, save and download as a PDF or a PowerPoint deck. Use it for a board pack, an investor update or a quarterly review.
