## Why these are free

Because they should be. Converting a score to an NCLC level is arithmetic against a published table, not expertise, and charging for it or hiding it behind an email form would be a poor way to introduce ourselves. If the tools tell you that you are already where you need to be, that is a useful answer and it costs you nothing. If they tell you there is a gap, you know what we do next.
