How we source the templates and frameworks
Cost ranges on this site are based on public reference material across the relevant landscape. The publishers below are representative of the kind of source that informs our positioning, not an exhaustive extraction map per figure. A specific figure on a specific page is not necessarily anchored to a single named publisher.
Sources
- Published framework origins. SMART goals (George T Doran, 1981), OKRs (Andy Grove / John Doerr's Measure What Matters), RACI (PMI PMBOK), GTD (David Allen's Getting Things Done), Eisenhower Matrix (Stephen Covey's First Things First). We cite the source publication for each framework we describe.
- Public business-school and consultancy reference. Harvard Business Review published frameworks, MIT Sloan Management Review, McKinsey Quarterly published guidance on goal-setting and execution rhythms (where openly published).
- Practitioner usage data. Public OKR-adoption research from a16z, BetterWorks State of OKRs, Atlassian Team Tax research, and 15Five performance-management research.
What we deliberately do not publish
- Personalised goal-setting advice. This site publishes templates and frameworks. It does not provide individual goal-setting consultation.
- Locked-down 'premium' templates. All templates on this site are free to download and adapt. We do not maintain a paid tier.
- Personal user data. Template downloads do not require an email. The site does not transmit, log, or store template-customisation inputs.
Update cadence
Site values update only when the underlying reality changes. Triggers:
- New widely-adopted goal-setting framework reaches material practitioner adoption
- Updated edition of a foundational framework publication
- Material change in published OKR or SMART-goal usage research
Cosmetic date bumps are not made.
Editorial position
This site is operated by Digital Signet, an independent AI-development studio.

See /about for the operator and the wider network.
Editorial direction is set by Oliver Wakefield-Smith. Drafts are produced via Digital Signet's autonomous AI development methodology and reviewed against the editorial framework before publication.
