FAQ

TechEd Analyst is a workflow, data, and AI guidance platform for small businesses. It provides playbooks, templates, generators, and the AI Readiness Baseline to help small businesses get their operations, data practices, and AI governance into shape.

It is designed for small business owners, agency operators, and independent consultants who are adopting AI tools, trying to document their workflows, or getting ahead of data privacy requirements — and who need practical starting points, not textbooks.

The Template Generator produces customizable starting drafts in four categories: Workflow SOP drafts, AI Usage Policy drafts, Privacy Checklist drafts, and Reporting Plan drafts. Every output is a starting point — review it, adapt it to your business, and make it yours before you use it. It is not legal, financial, or compliance advice.

We retired the three written reviews. In their place, AI Register and Policy Setup fills in your AI tool register, a usage policy draft and a staff card from your own answers. Like our other services, it is paused while we update our service terms, and we are not taking new orders. Past purchases remain covered by our Services Terms. The self-serve tools and templates are the way to get started today.

No. Everything on TechEd Analyst — the Baseline tool, templates, setup services — is operational guidance only. None of it determines whether your business complies with any law or regulation. For legal, compliance, or regulatory questions, consult a licensed attorney in your state.

The AI Readiness Baseline is a free, anonymous tool — no account required. You answer six questions about your workflow documentation, AI tool use, data handling, and team rules. The Baseline returns a plain-English snapshot: a suggested starting point, an area to watch, observations, and one recommended next step. Takes about five minutes. It is a general guidance tool — not an assessment, audit, or compliance determination.

Our page counter (/api/collect) sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. Your IP address is used in memory only, as a salted hash that limits how fast one connection can send, and is never written to our database. Known bots are filtered out. For each page we store the page path, the referring site's host name, the country (a two-letter code our hosting provider adds) and the date. A visit is counted when a page is opened from another website or typed in directly, and each visit gets a random value that cannot be linked to a person or to other visits, so we count visits, not people.

Every SOP, policy or checklist the generators produce is an editable starting draft with [bracketed placeholders] for you to fill in. It is saved to your account; copy it into your own documents, or download everything with the account data export. Our Terms (section 8) let you use what you generate in your business. It is a starting draft, not legal advice.

Every paid plan (Essentials, Pro and Consultant) gives you the platform — playbooks, templates, and tools — plus monthly AI credits for the Template Generator and other AI tools. Plans differ in credits, people and business profiles, shown on the Pricing page and at checkout. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over.

Yes. You can cancel at any time from your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access until then, and no further charges are made.
