Rule 01

A free tool must solve a real audience problem even without the main product.

Rule 02

The best tool sits adjacent to what the company sells and teaches the problem it solves.

Rule 03

Simple, focused, immediate value beats feature breadth.

Rule 04

Investment is justified only when lead value, SEO value, and brand halo exceed build plus maintenance cost.
