Empty Bar Kits

A guided tool that interviews you about your work, then hands back a finished plan built for your exact situation, with you still the author.

← Back to portfolio

Empty Bar Kits is not a folder of prompts. It is a guided experience that turns professional judgment into a tool a non-expert can use, while the person using it stays the author. You answer a short set of questions, and it builds the thing you needed, made for your situation, not a generic template.

How it works

  • You answer a short intake. No private details, just the shape of what you are trying to do.
  • It builds your tool. A plan made for your grade level, your focus, and your constraints.
  • You stay in control. Every decision that matters is still yours, and the output is something you could put your name on and defend.

The flagship: school counseling

The first configurator is for school counselors, built on ASCA's implementation method and real facilitation practice: consistent rituals, one focus per session, never overloaded.

  • ASCA-aligned small-group plans, session by session, starting with anxiety and stress for middle school.
  • Parent consent letters and pre and post assessments to show growth, ready to use.
  • Program-wide standards coverage, so a counseling lead can see which of the 36 ASCA standards the whole team has hit, and where the gaps are.
  • Zero student data, by design. It tracks what was done, never who it was done with.

Where it's headed

The configurator is a pattern, not a one-off. Once the counseling version proves itself, the same method extends to other grade levels and to the verticals where the credibility carries over: grant writing, clinical documentation, and conflict resolution. Each one its own configurator under a single Empty Bar roof.
