Three types of buyer: founders and operators who need professional HR infrastructure without a lengthy build, HR professionals (especially first HR hires and HR business partners) who need professional-grade resources without building everything from scratch, and people managers who need practical, trustworthy reference material for leading their teams well.

The templates are written to be broadly applicable across industries, with particular depth in regulated and health technology contexts (reflecting the practitioner experience behind the suite). Several documents — including the AI Usage Policy, Inventions Policy, and HR Investigation Guide — include specific guidance for regulated environments.

The suite includes multi-jurisdiction coverage for Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia, with inline guidance on the specific legislation and requirements in each. If your business operates in other jurisdictions, the frameworks and structures are still applicable — though local legal review is recommended for jurisdiction-specific compliance details.

Employment law changes regularly. Documents addressing time-sensitive legislation (such as the Pay Transparency Policy and AI Usage Policy) are reviewed as significant legal changes occur. We recommend checking for updates annually, particularly around major legislative deadlines like the EU Pay Transparency Directive transposition in June 2026.

No. People Stack Now is a library of downloadable documents — Word files and Excel dashboards — not a SaaS platform. There's no login, no subscription, and nothing to integrate. You download the files, edit them to fit your business, and use them as your own.

Policies, guides, and templates are delivered as fully editable Word (.docx) files. The analytics dashboards are delivered as Excel (.xlsx) files with pre-built formulas and sample data. All files use Microsoft Office formats, so they also open in Google Docs and Google Sheets.

Yes. Every document is yours to edit once purchased — add your branding, adjust language, add or remove sections, and adapt for your specific business. There's no attribution requirement and no restriction on how heavily you customise the content.

Both. Every document is available individually, starting from $15. Bundles group related documents at a discount — for example, the Hiring & Onboarding Kit or the Full Policy Library. The Complete Suite includes everything at the largest saving.

Buying individually makes sense if you need one or two specific documents. Bundles make sense once you need three or more related documents — the saving versus buying individually typically ranges from 20% to 65% depending on the bundle. The Complete Suite saves around 65% compared to purchasing every document and dashboard individually.

One-time purchase. There's no subscription, recurring fee, or licence renewal. You pay once and the files are yours.

Files are delivered instantly as a digital download immediately after purchase, with a copy also sent to your email. No waiting, no shipping, no account setup required.

The link to your purchase will expire within 24 hours.

No. As these are digital downloads, we do not offer refunds.

No. The Word documents open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any compatible word processor. The Excel dashboards open in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any compatible spreadsheet application — though some formula features work best in Excel or Google Sheets specifically.

Consulting addresses a specific organizational challenge — building a people function, designing a compensation framework, preparing for a fundraise, or navigating a complex employee relations matter.

Coaching addresses an individual's challenge — supporting a first HR hire, a new people manager, or a founder taking on people leadership for the first time. Many clients benefit from elements of both.

No. Consulting and coaching are independent services. Many clients use the template suite as a starting point and bring in consulting or coaching for the parts that need more than documentation — but you can engage either service on its own.
