Getting started

Your company’s DNA, put to work.

Nine guided steps, a couple of hours. Change an answer later and everything downstream re-aims.

It aims the targeting

Step three decides who ends up on every list the system ever builds for you.

It aims the words

Steps five, six and eight decide what every message is allowed to claim, and how it sounds saying it.

It aims at the number

Step nine is the target everything is measured against, and the reason the dashboard opens on revenue rather than activity.

Your setup 2 of 9 done
  1. 1
    Getting your home base ready

    Nothing is asked of you. Your folder is made, the plan appears, and you pick how to start.

  2. 2
    Your company basics

    What you do and who you are, in a handful of plain questions rather than a form.

  3. 3
    Your ideal customer

    It proposes one or two narrow profiles, ranked, with why people buy and why they do not. You correct them.

  4. 4
    Your buyer personas

    The humans inside that profile. What they are measured on, what they object to, the words they use.

  5. 5
    Your offer

    Your one-liner, moved from what the product does to what changes for them.

  6. 6
    Your voice

    Paste in two or three things you have already written. It reads the pattern out of them.

  7. 7
    Your stack

    Which tools you actually use, and what it is allowed to do in each. Connect nothing and it still works.

  8. 8
    Your proof library

    What you are allowed to cite, and what you are not. The step that keeps everything honest later.

  9. 9
    Your goals

    What good looks like, with a number on it. No baseline? It suggests one and marks it as a suggestion.

And you can hand it what you already have

Hand it your website and it fills in most of this for you.

A deck, a spreadsheet, an old positioning doc. It pulls from all of them in one pass and shows you what it could not find.

Proof librarystep 8 closes this

Nothing is taken wholesale. Every section still comes back to you for a yes, because a deck you wrote for investors two years ago is a starting point rather than a decision.

And nothing starts from a blank page

It writes the first draft. You correct it.

Correcting something wrong is faster than inventing from nothing — and it gets you a better answer.

“Describe your ideal customer profile:” A blank box, and an hour of staring at it.
“From your site I think you sell to Series A fintechs with a RevOps hire and no analyst. Two profiles, ranked. Correct me.” Every step reads what is already there and proposes.

The exercise is worth doing even if you never send a thing.

Narrowing your ICP to one or two profiles and naming the objection you keep losing to is work most early teams never sit down and finish.

And you can stop whenever you like

Stop after five steps and you still have a working system.

Not a broken one. A working one with a stated ceiling.

Come back next week and it opens where you left it.

It reads what your file actually contains rather than starting over, and anything that needs a section you have not filled in yet says so instead of guessing.

And then the setup disappears

What you get at the end is one screen and one next move.

Everything you just answered becomes the dashboard. From then on, that is the system.

Money against target first, then what is in flight, what replied, what is working. Each block appears only when it has something real to say. And it gets more specific as your file fills, without anything being rebuilt.

“Your Brief is complete. That is the foundation your whole growth engine runs on. This is your Studio dashboard, where you will see the state of everything and the one thing worth doing next, any time you open it.”
What it says the moment step nine closes

And it does not stay in one place

Do it once, then hand the whole thing to someone else.

Your voice, your ICP, your personas, your offer, your proof, your goals — as one shareable file.

A new market

Start a second project, import the file, and change only the parts that differ. The voice and the proof travel; the targeting is yours to redo.

A new hire

They import it on day one and write in your voice, to your ICP, citing only claims you have cleared. There is no separate handover, because the thing the system reads is the thing a person would need to read.

A second segment

Same company, different buyer. Keep everything that describes you, redo the parts that describe them, and run the two side by side without either polluting the other.

And an imported section stays marked as imported.

So nobody months later mistakes a colleague’s decision for one of their own. Their campaigns and their results stay theirs.

Two hours now. Years of compounding after.

Every answer is proposed to you first. Nothing is written without your say-so.
