The Decision Read one question · every claim graded

Bring me the question you keep circling. I'll bring back the answer, with the proof.

I investigate the public evidence, rank your options, and grade every material claim high, medium, or low confidence. Sources shown.

Start with the question on your desk

Bring the decision, not a category.

► The Competitor Read

“How did my competitor do that?”

A rival is suddenly everywhere: new hires, new prices, ads in every channel. I reconstruct the playbook behind the move and rank what's real, what to counter, and what to safely ignore.

I read: their paid ads, site and social messaging, posting cadence, hiring, and launch timing.
► The Growth Read

“Where should my next dollar go?”

Growth has flattened and every option costs real money: more ads, another hire, a new channel. I rank them against what your market is actually rewarding. Sometimes the winner is the channel nobody is guarding.

I read: which channels rivals keep paying for, how long each ad survives, review ratings, and how crowded each lane really is.
► The Pricing Read

“What should I charge?”

You suspect the number is low, but raising it feels like a gamble. I put every rival's real prices on one page, read what buyers trade off, and rank your moves with the risk sitting next to each one.

I read: rival price pages, tiers and anchors, public discounts, and how buyers talk about price in reviews.
► The Market Read

“Is this market worth entering?”

A new offer, market, or location looks promising and expensive. I map who is already there, where the demand actually sits, and what has to be true before you commit. Sometimes the honest answer is not yet.

I read: the full competitor set and its footprint, search demand, and what buyers ask for in reviews and forums.

If you can frame it as one important decision, send it.

Law · four-attorney firm

“We're a four-lawyer firm. Where should our next dollar go?”

The receipts
VERIFIED

Every rival is buying search ads, the channel 82% of firms say they regret.

VERIFIED

The channel with the best return is wide open: a top-50 rival hasn't touched its blog since 2019 and sits at a 3.7 review rating.

FLAGGED

The firm's own site hid its Google rating, linked to an empty YouTube channel, and still advertised a law the state scrapped in 2023.

The call: skip the ad war. Ask every closed client for a review and put the rating where people can see it.

Coaching · Founder brand

“I've built more products than anyone in my niche. Why is nobody buying?”

The receipts
VERIFIED

Five times more products than the closest competitor, one sixth the engagement: 4.23 likes per post vs 26.40 for the niche leader.

VERIFIED

Two flagship pages were dead 404s, a 9-part lead magnet series sat where no menu reaches it, and every button on the site pointed to one calendar link.

VERIFIED

A 10,000-person email list, untouched.

The call: stop making new things. Package what exists as one system, fix the dead pages, and email the list.

Consumer brand · Pre-launch

“Who would buy a brand like ours one day, and for how much?”

The receipts
VERIFIED

Brands like this one have sold twice to the same buyer, at roughly 5.5x sales: $630M in 2022, up to $880M in 2025.

VERIFIED

The 14 closest competitors, mapped: the spot this brand wants is empty.

FLAGGED

Four claims in the client's own investor deck didn't check out. Fixed before it went out again.

The call: build toward the proven buyer, add revenue channels one at a time, and file trademarks now. A copycat just appeared.

FAQ

Asked first.

What kind of question fits?

One business decision where better evidence could change what you do: pricing, hiring, a competitor's move, buyer understanding, market entry, positioning, or diligence. Real stakes, guessing feels expensive.

Is this just an AI report?

No. Software collects the evidence. I decide what counts, test contradictions, grade the claims, and write the call. The judgment is mine.

What if the evidence is weak?

The Read says so. Weak evidence gets a lower grade, and I say what would change the answer. Sometimes the answer is: don't move yet.

Do I pick the depth?

No. Send the question. I recommend the smallest depth that answers it.

What does the guarantee cover?

If the Read doesn't improve the evidence for your decision, tell me within 14 days and I refund the fee. It doesn't promise a particular outcome.
