No. There are no hidden costs. All Freedom Solutions reports work with native visuals certified visuals and do not require paid custom visuals, external add‑ons, or additional licences.

Most generic templates use messy, auto-generated code that breaks when you feed it into LLMs. Because our reports are built with clean, human-written DAX and Power Query M-code, they serve as structured blueprints that tools like Claude Code can accurately interpret. This allows you to feed the code straight into your AI pipeline to scale layouts across the business without any prompt-engineering from scratch.

Yes, templates are licensed for individual use within your organisation. You can adapt them for your own projects and learning. If your colleagues or friends would benefit, please invite them to visit our website so they can download their own latest copy.

No. Everything is built using a 100% native architecture. We use zero Python scripts, zero R code, and zero uncertified marketplace visuals. Because the files rely entirely on native Power BI functionality, they match standard corporate data governance out of the box and completely bypass internal IT security bottlenecks. The only exception is one visual - the Gantt chart - which is custom‑built using Microsoft’s open‑source Power BI Gantt visual (MIT licence). It is not used in any reports.

Yes. All Freedom Solutions products, including paid and free products, come with free lifetime updates. If we improve, fix or enhance a report or dataset in the future, you will automatically receive the updated version at no additional cost.

No coding required! Our sample reports templates are designed for beginner to intermediate Power BI users. Power Query steps are clearly documented.

No, you can use the free version of Power BI Desktop to open and customise our templates.

No. You can use your own Excel, SharePoint, OData or Power BI supported data sources with our Solution Starters. The sample data is simply an optional resource for people who want to explore the reports, learn Power BI, test ideas or train without using live project information.

Yes! Alongside our standalone Power BI sample reports, we offer fixed-fee micro-consulting services to tailor, personalise, and regionalise specific reports. These services are delivered via a secure, metadata-only process within 48 business hours.

Yes. Our Power BI reports are built using 100% native architecture. We use zero Python scripts, zero R code, and zero uncertified marketplace visuals.

Our templates are provided as Power BI Desktop (.pbix) files. Sample data is provided in Excel (.xlsx) format.

The paid version includes more features, working sample data integration, and documented Power Query transformations. The free version is a conceptual guide for learning.

Our sample data is professionally structured to match real project, portfolio and delivery reporting. It takes time and expertise to build realistic relationships, milestones, hierarchies and PMO fields that make the reports work correctly. Charging for it allows us to maintain high‑quality, ready‑to‑use datasets that save you setup time and help you understand the reports immediately.

No. Everything works out‑of‑the‑box in Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service. No downloads, no add‑ons, no external dependencies.
