# Free tools

Free planning tools for a workflow decision. They help you estimate, map, or compare a next step before you invest in a build. They do not connect to your live accounts.

- [AI automation ROI calculator](https://shireautomations.com/roi-calculator): Estimate time returned, implementation and operating costs, payback, and three-year value for one workflow. The result uses the numbers you enter. It is not a guaranteed outcome.
- [Automation opportunity scorecard](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/automation-opportunity-scorecard): Rank repeatable work by value, risk, system access, and readiness before choosing technology.
- [Workflow mapper and SOP draft](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/workflow-mapper): Describe a process and get a map, handoff notes, automation candidates, and a draft you can edit.
- [Lead response calculator](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/lead-response-calculator): Measure late-response workload from your own conversion assumptions. It does not claim a universal response-time result.
- [AI readiness assessment](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/ai-readiness-assessment): Check whether the goal, process, data, systems, ownership, and oversight can support a first AI workflow.
- [Integration finder](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/integration-finder): Plan how records can move between common business tools, including fields, controls, and maintenance. It does not check live vendor credentials or pricing.
- [Client onboarding builder](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/client-onboarding-builder): Generate a checklist for starting customer work, with owners, access, reviews, and handoffs.
- [Invoice follow-up calculator](https://shireautomations.com/free-tools/invoice-follow-up-calculator): Measure the time and administrative cost of overdue-invoice follow-up. It does not predict collection or legal outcomes.
