Tools

Hub · tools

Decision tools, calculators, and checklists — only after the method is visible.

This hub is reserved for validated tools such as runtime estimators, savings calculators, label checkers, and comparison worksheets. Each tool must show inputs, assumptions, limits, and update responsibility before it becomes indexable.

Launch rule

No calculator should publish without its assumptions.

Tools can become the site’s moat, but they are also where unsupported precision can creep in. Every output needs a method, source notes, and a clear uncertainty boundary.

Asset candidates

Good tools should support the first 50-article roadmap.

Backup power

Runtime estimator

Translate loads and usable capacity into rough outage planning ranges.

Gated
Home energy

Payback worksheet

Show assumptions behind savings and replacement decisions.

TBD
Claims

Label checklist

Verify certification scope, product match, and claim relevance.

Planned
Research

Method records

Source-led protocols and research logs live separately from interactive tools.

Tools stay gated until methods are stable.

Until the editorial method and disclaimers are stable, this hub stays as a noindex roadmap surface.
