Before the work, the read.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call. You walk us through your messaging. We tell you what we see, whether Signal or Compass fits, and what we would recommend. The number follows the fit, not the other way around.
Two ways in.
Most engagements start with one of these. We will help you figure out which one fits in the call.
A scored behavioral read of your messaging across four neurological dimensions. Most clients start here because Signal answers the question that comes first: how is this actually being decoded?
- You have one piece of copy you want a read on
- You want evidence before you ship
- You are not sure yet whether Compass is the right next step
A deeper architectural read of your messaging. Where Signal shows the score, Compass identifies the mental model your audience is running and gives you the framework to realign every layer of the message to it.
- The architecture is the problem, not the wording
- The sequence is breaking the message, and you cannot tell where
- You want the read that informs the rewrite, not the rewrite itself
What the conversation actually looks like.
Concrete, not exploratory. By the end of the call you will know which tool fits, what scope it would be, and what the next step is.
What you are working on
You walk us through the messaging, the audience, and what is at stake.
How Signal would read it
We show you how the four dimensions apply to your specific copy and where the friction is.
Whether Compass fits
If the architecture is the issue, we sketch what a Compass scope would cover and what it would not.
What we would recommend
A direct read on which tool fits, what the engagement would look like, and what it would cost.
