## Free tools (interactive, no signup)
- [The Bottleneck Finder](/pages/tools): eight questions about your Sunday; finds the one thing holding your media ministry back (team, packaging, retention, or light).
- [The Retention Diagnoser](/pages/tools): enter four numbers from YouTube Studio; learn whether an upload has a packaging problem, an intro tax, or a channel-level trust problem.
- [The Copyright Risk Checker](/pages/tools): six yes-or-no questions about how your broadcast handles music; get a green, yellow, or red verdict before Content ID gets a vote. The habit it teaches: cut the praise and worship out of your public videos, because performed worship still draws claims with or without a CCLI license.
