Use the book resources: Book Companion, Pocket Standard and Image Library

The Resources group at the bottom of the sidebar collects the companion material for The Control Standard: Book Companion, Image Library and Pocket Standard. None of it touches your project data — it's reference material for reading the book, teaching it, and putting it in front of other people.

Everything here is available on every plan. The Book Companion and Pocket Standard pages are public; the Image Library needs you to be signed in, but nothing more.

Find your way around the Book Companion

The Book Companion is the hub — one page listing every way to use the book, so start here when you're not sure which tool fits.

1. Open Book Companion in the sidebar.
2. Pick the tool that matches the work in front of you: - Two free five-minute diagnostics — the Drift Report (Start the report) and Should you automate this? (Score a task). - The Pocket Standard — press Get the Pocket Standard to go to its download page. - The interactive courses — press Browse the courses (see e-learning courses). - The Image Library — press Open the Image Library. - The portal tools for scoring a specific project: Control Index Snapshot, Project Tracker, and the Certified Assessment (see chapter assessments).

Each card links straight into the tool it describes.

Download the Pocket Standard

The Pocket Standard is a printable PDF summary of the Control Toolkit — the dual mission, the pillars, the seven places drift hides, the escalation ladder, cadence as control, and the Tuesday morning sweep. It's built to be pinned to a wall, taken into a 1:1, or handed to a direct report.

1. Open Pocket Standard in the sidebar.
2. Because you're signed in, there's no email gate — press Download the Pocket Standard (PDF).

The file downloads as the-pocket-standard.pdf, ready to print. If you share the page with someone who doesn't have an account, they can enter their First name and Work email and press Send me the Pocket Standard instead.

Browse and download figures in the Image Library

The Image Library holds every figure from the book — plus a handful of bonus figures — each with a short, self-contained lesson. Use it when a single diagram would make the point in a deck, a wiki page, or a coaching session.

1. Open Image Library in the sidebar.
2. Narrow the grid: type a keyword into Search the lessons, or press a chapter chip to filter (All clears the chapter filter).
3. Press View on a card to open the figure full-size with its lesson. Arrow keys step to the previous and next figure.
4. Download it: press Download on the card, or Download image in the viewer. Use Copy link to grab a shareable link to that figure — every figure has its own URL.

The file downloads as a PNG with a friendly name, e.g. the-control-standard-what-drift-actually-is.png. Figures are free to reuse unaltered in internal training and presentations, as long as the baked-in credit stays visible.

Who can do this

Everyone, on every plan — free tier included. The Book Companion and Pocket Standard pages don't require sign-in at all; the Image Library requires a signed-in account but no particular plan or permission, and its content is the same for every user.
