BINARYACID / TOOLBOX

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET DONE?

Choose the job. The formal tool name is secondary. Workflow tools organise real work; developer utilities inspect or transform technical data.

WORKFLOW TOOLS / START WITH THE JOB

Real-world jobs, not admin software

Each tool should take one messy situation and turn it into one useful output. If a tool cannot explain that clearly, it does not belong here.

I NEED TO

CAPTURE A DECISION

DECISION REGISTER

Something important was agreed and you do not want the reasoning to disappear into chat, email or memory.

PUT IN

Context, options, decision, rationale, owner and review date.

GET BACK

A clean decision record, ready to save, print or hand to risk/timeline/checklist tools.

DECISION → RISK / TIMELINE / CHECKLIST
I NEED TO

BUILD A TIMELINE

TIMELINE BUILDER

Events are scattered across notes and you need to see what happened, in what order, and where dates are uncertain.

PUT IN

Events, exact or approximate dates, descriptions and source references.

GET BACK

A chronological record that keeps uncertainty explicit rather than inventing precision.

EVENTS → DECISION / RISK
I NEED TO

ASSESS A RISK

RISK REGISTER

You need to decide how serious a risk is, what controls already exist and what still needs doing.

PUT IN

Risk, likelihood, impact, controls, mitigation, owner and review date.

GET BACK

Inherent + residual scores plus actions that can move straight into a checklist or decision.

RISK → CHECKLIST / DECISION
I NEED TO

MAKE A REUSABLE CHECKLIST

CHECKLIST BUILDER

You have a repeatable job and want a dead-simple list somebody can actually run.

PUT IN

Steps, required/optional items and notes.

GET BACK

A reusable checklist with progress, reset, copy and print.

PROCESS / RISK / DECISION → CHECKLIST
I NEED TO

MAP HOW A PROCESS WORKS

PROCESS BUILDER

People are unclear about the order of work or where a decision happens.

PUT IN

A sequence of steps and decision points.

GET BACK

A readable process flow; executable steps can become a checklist.

PROCESS → CHECKLIST / DECISION
I NEED TO

BUILD A BUSINESS CASE

BUSINESS CASE BUILDER

You need to argue for a change, purchase or project without starting from a blank Word document.

PUT IN

Problem, current state, proposal, benefits, costs, risks, alternatives and success measures.

GET BACK

A structured case with risks, decisions and implementation actions ready for other tools.

CASE → RISK / DECISION / CHECKLIST
I NEED TO

PULL ACTIONS OUT OF MEETING NOTES

MEETING ACTION EXTRACTOR

You have messy notes and need to separate actual actions, decisions, deadlines and open questions.

PUT IN

Meeting notes or transcript text.

GET BACK

Candidate actions, decisions, deadlines and unresolved questions for review.

NOTES → ACTIONS / DECISIONS
I NEED TO

SEE MY SAVED WORK

BINARYACID WORKSPACE

You have already used the workflow tools and want one local overview of what is saved in this browser.

PUT IN

Nothing new — it reads the local records already created by the tools.

GET BACK

A local index of decisions, timelines, risks and checklists with shortcuts back into each workflow.
