Positioning Diagnostic

Find where your positioning breaks.

Positioning rarely fails everywhere at once. It breaks at one point, and everything after that point inherits the damage. The Diagnostic finds the point and tells you what to fix first.

Interactive diagnostic. About 6 minutes. You finish with a named result and one next move.

You're fixing the wrong thing.

You rewrite the homepage.

The copy isn't the problem. The break is upstream, so new words inherit the same gap.

You can't see it from inside.

You know your work too well to notice what a stranger doesn't get.

Every wrong fix costs money.

A rebrand, a copywriter, a new site. Each one treats a symptom.

Your expertise is an asset. Start treating it like one.

Who it's for

For you if
  • You've been in business long enough to have real expertise.
  • Prospects don't get what you do as fast as clients do.
  • You've tried new copy or a new site and it didn't change much.
  • You want to know what to fix before you spend money fixing it.
Not for you if
  • You're just starting and haven't worked with clients yet.
  • You want someone to write your copy.
  • You already know exactly what's broken.

Questions

How long does it take?

About 6 minutes. Answer for how things are now, not how you plan them to be.

Is this a quiz?

No. It's built on the Translation Gap Method's four stages. It finds the first stage that breaks, because a break upstream causes breaks downstream.

Does my work save?

Your answers save in the browser you use. Copy your result as text to keep it, or retake the Diagnostic in a few months and compare.

What if everything holds?

Then your result says so. Few experts get there. It points you to building your next asset instead.

What comes after?

Your result names one next move. Usually that's the Positioning System, the Signature Methodology Builder or the Messaging Architecture Builder, depending on where you break.

Can I get a refund?

No. All sales are final, because you get access right away. If you can't get in, or the tool doesn't work as described, email info@brindlepostcreative.com and we'll fix it. See our Terms.

Stop guessing what's broken.

Six minutes. One named break point. One next move.
