Open the toolkit ↓THE HANDOFF RULE
Your client should be able to see what will change, why you recommend it, what could break, and how you will know whether it worked.
Four linked decisions
From invoice
to evidence.
Begin with the inventory. Use the speed and ROI tools only for apps where those checks answer a real client question.
DECISION MODEL
Model app ROI ↗App ROI and payback calculator
Turn the fee, setup cost, extra orders, and saved time into a clear break-even target.
PERFORMANCE FIELD GUIDE
Inspect the method ↗Storefront script audit
Find who owns each storefront script and test one safe change instead of blaming an app from a single score.
PORTFOLIO VIEW
Calculate stack cost ↗Total stack-cost calculator
Compare the monthly app bill with store revenue, then choose which subscription to review first.
A practical client workflow
One meeting.
Three useful outputs.
- 01List every app and bill
Record the owner, price, purpose, and anything that depends on the app. Do not start by deleting things.
- 02Check what is actually being used
Look at live features, saved hours, storefront scripts, and sales evidence. Ignore impressive features the client never touches.
- 03Leave a clear action plan
Mark each app keep, improve, replace, remove, or investigate. Add an owner, safety check, and review date.
