The Founder Content Diagnostic

Your competitor’s post just handed you your next campaign.

The VP of Product shared an update with 200 likes and 148 comments. Those are your buyers. They don’t know you yet. In two weeks, I show you which conversations they care about, who owns them today, and the 90-day plan to become the answer they find. Founding rate $2,500 for the first five. You keep the plan either way.

No deck. If this isn’t worth $2,500 for you, I’ll say so on the call.

✓ Flat fee, paid up front, no hidden hours ✓ Two weeks from intake to readout ✓ You keep the plan either way
The situation

You’re not the bottleneck because you’re busy. You’re the bottleneck because you’re the only route.

When growth runs through one person, it waits behind delivery. Then buyers do their own homework, and find silence.

01

Your feed went quiet

The cadence slipped months ago. What’s left is sporadic, off-message, and produces nothing you can trace to a conversation.

02

Buyers check before they reply

Before anyone takes your call, they’ve read your profile and scanned your last ten posts. Silence reads as risk.

03

Buyers ask AI first now

When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google who solves their problem, they get an answer. The only question is whether your content is part of it.

What the diagnostic produces

Five modules, one score, a plan you can run.

If your team runs the GTM Operating System, this is the Brand & Demand assessment for pillar 3. It is independent, and it plugs into the framework you already use.1

How it works

Two weeks, five modules.

DAYS 1–2

Intake

Your channels, your numbers, and your buyers’ actual language.

DAYS 3–8

The scans

Presence, concepts, citations and leaks, every claim logged with evidence.

DAYS 9–12

Synthesis

Scores, gaps, and a build plan you could hand to a team tomorrow.

DAY 14

Readout

A 90-minute session with you and your team. You leave with the instrument in hand, and one decision made.

Where it has to work

One piece of content, several places it has to earn its keep.

I build content that holds up wherever your buyers look: search, the AI assistants, social, and the communities where your market talks. I’m not here to run an AEO audit, I’m here to make the content that earns those spots in the first place.

Track record

I’ve run the demand side inside companies you know.

Ex-LinkedIn (social selling), ex-Slack. I’ve built the content systems that make brands the cited answer, and diagnosed why most aren’t.

Organic impressions, my last agency build

The shift

Guesswork versus a diagnostic.

How it runs now

  • ✕Demand starts with luck, referrals, and a feed that went quiet
  • ✕You measure revenue, a lagging indicator
  • ✕BD happens only when the pipeline is already empty
  • ✕It all lands on you, personally

With the diagnostic

  • ✓Concepts you own, answers that cite you
  • ✓The five modules, leading indicators you can move
  • ✓BD on a schedule, before you need it
  • ✓A system that runs while you’re in delivery
Questions

What you’re probably wondering.

What exactly do I get?

A Founder Demand Score out of 100 with the arithmetic shown, a concept ownership map, the content set to create, a leak report, a 90-day build plan, and a 90-minute executive session with you and up to two stakeholders.

Is this an SEO or AEO/GEO play?

No. I’m a content operator, not an SEO or AEO analyst. Search and AI answers are outcomes of good content, and I build the content that earns those outcomes. I keep it to what you can actually control: the fit and quality of what you publish.

Is this a GTM Partners product?

No. It is an independent assessment that maps to the Brand & Demand pillar, so a team already running the GTM Operating System can place it without adopting anything new. I am not a GTM Partners certified partner.1

What do you need from me?

About three hours total: a 60-minute intake, roughly 30 minutes of follow-up, and 90 minutes at the executive session. Your handles and any analytics you have.

What does it cost?

Founding rate $2,500 for the first five clients, then $4,500. Flat fee, paid up front. Four concepts in scope; a fifth is $500. $1,000 of the fee is credited toward your first month of the Founder Engine if we start within 90 days.

What if I don’t have a team?

Then the plan leans on assets over people: written points of view, your own voice, and a cadence one person can hold. No headcount required.

What happens after the readout?

Either you run the plan yourself, or we build it together as a fractional engagement. If it’s not worth building, you keep the plan and owe nothing further.

Find out where your demand is leaking.

Founding client rate $2,500 (five spots, then $4,500). Flat fee, paid up front. Two weeks. You keep the plan either way.

For context: a fractional content director runs $7,800 to $9,100 a month. This is two weeks and a plan you own.

Typically scheduled within 48 hours. No credit card, no commitment.
