Template pack
The Machiavelli Strategy Templates
Reading about power is easy; using it on a Tuesday is not. Twenty-four working documents that turn the arguments in The Prince and the Discourses into things you can actually fill in before a decision, a negotiation or a reorganisation.
Notion, Google Docs and print-ready PDF. 30-day guarantee.

Post-Decision Review
A short retrospective that judges the decision, not the outcome.
“The Power Map got used in my first week of a new role and saved me from two obvious mistakes.”
“I've bought a lot of template packs. This is the first one my team kept using.”
“The filled examples are what make it work — you're never staring at a blank grid.”
