WHAT IS NOT HERE

No swipe files. No PDFs of advice.

Those look generous and change nothing. Every tool above does a calculation or writes a finished document with your details already in it. The two template pages pass that test: your store is in every line before you copy a word. If it cannot survive that test, it does not go in the library.

Tell us what is missing and we will build it, or say why we will not.
