The AI answer for your category already has a default winner. See where you stand — and what it takes to close the gap.
Enterprise buyers research in AI before they ever open a sales call. The incumbent in your category is already there by default — cited, ranked, assumed. A Series B or C challenger has to build their way into those answers from scratch, against a brand that got category authority for free. In one line: You send your category, target buyer, and chosen model on the kickoff call. Within 24 hours you get your baseline Trends Desk read against named rivals, your Position Score read, and your first Strategic Plan — a ranked list of 30+ next steps to close a gap, defend a strength, and publish stronger proof — founder-configured, fixed price, no subscription after.
Open for pilots · founder-led · reply-all turnaround under 48 hours
What happens in 24 hours.
No quarter-long onboarding. The founder configures your comparison questions live on the kickoff call, the baseline read runs on the model of your choice, and your first deliverables hit your inbox a day later.
- Hour 0
Founder kickoff (30 min)
We talk through your category, buyer group, the buyers you sell to, and which AI model you want the baseline read on (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok). The founder configures your comparison questions live on the call — no slow onboarding, no DIY setup.
- Hours 0–24
Baseline read against your rivals
Your category prompts run on the model of your choice. Baseline Mention Share, Answer Share, and rival positioning land in the Trends Desk as they complete.
- Hour 24
Deliverables ship
Your baseline Trends Desk read, your Position Score read, and your first Strategic Plan — a ranked list of 30+ next steps to close a gap, defend a strength, and publish stronger proof — land in your inbox.
- Hour 24
15-min review call
Walk the deliverables together, then use your 7-day window to replan and re-prioritize across your signals. Decide whether to keep going plan-by-plan on the $99 Agentic plan — or take the read and walk. No subscription, no auto-renewal, no further commitment after the pilot.
Four artifacts in your inbox in 24 hours.
Built for teams competing against a category incumbent. The pilot runs Read · Build · Strengthen · Compound once on the model of your choice — same artifacts a paying customer gets on day one, scoped to your category, benchmarked against the rivals AI already defaults to.
Baseline Trends Desk read
Your baseline against your rivals on the model of your choice — rival rank, listicle placement, alternatives surfacing, citation share. The Trends Desk read scoped to your buyer.
Your Position Score read
A 0–100 Position Score by buyer, use case, and rival on your chosen model — the same read paying customers see, configured to your buyer group. No averaging, no global score.
Brand Signals scan
Which capability claims, narrative proof, and structured-content signals the model picks up about your brand — and which your top rivals own that you don't.
Your first Strategic Plan
One Strategic Plan — a ranked list of 30+ next steps to close a gap, defend a strength, and publish stronger proof. The working plan, not a dashboard.
This is day 1. Customers who continue see first compound gains in answer share at 8–12 weeks. The pilot is the first tick of that curve — without committing to it.

Founder-configured signals from day one.
The pilot is fixed-price, one-time, no subscription, configured by a founder on the kickoff call — not by a long onboarding flow. You commit a category name, the model you want the read on, and 45 minutes of calendar time. We commit the rest.
Limited to the first 15 pilots. Founder-led configuration is a real-time call with the founder, so capacity is finite. After 15 we close the founder-led pilot and shift new prospects to team-led onboarding instead.
