Find out exactly how good your copywriters really are.
In two weeks, we score every copywriter you have against the one standard that separates an A++++ from a D — and hand your leadership a single number per person, so the talent gap the CEO keeps complaining about stops being a feeling and becomes a fact you can act on.
The Scorecard creates the itch. The Audit diagnoses the disease.
Charging for the diagnosis does three jobs at once: it filters tire-kickers, it de-risks the program engagement by proving the problem first, and it qualifies the account in your own data before we ever quote the program. A buyer who won't pay for the diagnosis was never going to pay for the cure.
Five deliverables, built backward from the one that closes the deal.
One composite (1–5) per copywriter, the team average, and the distribution. The page the Chief of Staff forwards to the CEO — gut feeling becomes a number on a page.
Where your team is strong and weak across the seven capabilities. Proves the problem is systemic, not one bad hire — which is what justifies a program, not a firing.
The single highest-leverage gap, plus the blunt one: whether you measure outcome at all. For most teams, the empty Outcome column is the headline.
Per copywriter: strengths, gaps, and ceiling — how far and how fast each can climb. We report potential against the bar. We never recommend who to cut.
Gap-to-target: where they are, where elite is, and the route between — which is the program. For non-measuring buyers, this includes the self-funding math.
A standardized practical — the same timed exercises for every copywriter.
Comparable across people. Hard to dismiss as taste. A preview of the certification rigor to come. Plus a portfolio review of two to three recent real pieces — and observed AI use throughout, because fluency vs. fear is itself a finding.
- 01Research — themed, sourced message bank from raw inputs (AI permitted and observed)
- 02Message finding — surface and rank the messages from that bank
- 03Message mapping — assign messages to an awareness-staged funnel
- 04Constraint identification — given a brief and an underperforming asset, name the binding constraint
- 05Solution design — design the response (no prose yet)
- 06Assembling & writing — write the piece
- 07Validating & optimizing — read a real test result and say what it means and what to do next
Scope to readout in two weeks.
Designed to be a CFO no-brainer.
Up to 5 copywriters.
Up to a 10-person ceiling.
~10% of a 6-month engagement. Big enough to signal seriousness; small enough a CFO greenlights it without a board. The credit makes proceeding feel free and puts a clock on the decision.
