START THE CHECK →Why these questions
The point is not to tell you what is wrong. It is to make you notice what you may not have questioned.
02
WHAT HAS KEPT PACE
Whether the way the studio presents itself still fits the studio it has become.
03
WHAT THE CLIENT EXPERIENCES
Whether important moments across the client journey have been deliberately designed.
04
WHAT STILL DEPENDS ON YOU
Whether the client experience changes materially when the founder steps away.
The difference
THE CHECK is based on your answers.
THE READ is based on mine.
THE CHECK tells you whether I think an outside review is likely to be worth considering.
THE READ is the outside review: I go through the actual studio cold, identify what feels below the level of the work, what may be undersold, where confidence may be lost, and the five things I would change first.
Take THE CHECK →THE READ
If THE CHECK raises the question, THE READ answers it.
Written external diagnostic, personal screen-recorded walkthrough, five priorities and a 30-minute review.
