Buyer decision guide

Should you DIY, run the free checker, buy The MTD ITSA Quarterly Chase Engine — every client ready, every quarter, on rails, or hire help?

Decision matrix

Choose the route that matches the risk.

01

DIY from public guidance

Use this when the issue is low-risk and you have time to read primary sources, build your own checklist, and keep evidence yourself.

02

Run the free diagnostic first

Best first move when you need a fast private screening result before buying anything.

03

Best fit when the problem is recurring, evidence-heavy, and specific enough that a buy-once workflow is cheaper than rebuilding from scratch.

04

Hire qualified help

Use this for legal, tax, medical, employment, accessibility, compliance, regulated, disputed or high-value cases where judgement matters.
