The River Stone toolkit
Free calculators, scorecards, and frameworks to diagnose your Google Ads account. Built for operators who want real numbers, not vanity metrics.
Tools that actually help you think
Most "marketing calculators" are lead magnets dressed up as tools - a box, a form, a generic number. These are different. Each one is built from the same framework we use when auditing real client accounts. Use them for yourself. Use them on prospects. Use them to pressure-test your own assumptions.

Build the right account from day one
1 toolThe best offer and the healthiest unit economics still underperform on the wrong campaign structure. These tools answer the "how should my account actually be built" questions.
Not sure which tool to start with?
If you have never calculated your break-even ROAS, start there. If your account is underperforming, take the 9-pillar scorecard. If you suspect your offer is weak, grade it with VUUT. If you are restructuring campaigns, the structure recommender is where to go.
