Spreadsheets for anything you're trying to make better, from a process at work to this year's garden. Each has a built-in coach that checks your work and tells you what's missing and where.
Excel 2016+ · Google Sheets · no macros
| # | Failure mode | Coach |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wrong item picked | All checks passed |
| 2 | Item damaged in transit | Add a target date (Target date, column T) |
| 3 | Invoice sent with wrong price | Name the detection control, or score Detection 10 (Detection controls, column I) |
Every tool follows the same loop: plan, try, check what happened, and learn. Each comes as a filled-in sample plus a blank copy for your own.
Ten connected Lean Six Sigma tools in one workbook. Enter your process steps once and they appear on every tab.

Enter your frost dates once and it works out when to start seeds, plant out, sow and harvest, week by week.
The personal license covers one person. A team license lets you share the workbook across your team or use it on client projects.

Read the guide →Every tab opens with a few numbered steps. Grey italic rows are examples you can type over.
Dates, scores, lights and totals calculate on their own, so there's nothing to set up.
Each row's coach names one thing to fix and the column it's in, or says "All checks passed."
Measured Row is a one-person studio. The maker is a certified project manager and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt who treats everything as an experiment, at work and in a busy, slightly chaotic backyard garden. Plan it, measure it, and see what grows. You either succeed or you learn something.
