Start free. Pay when it starts leaving the building.

Five modules are free forever, with no card and no expiry. Paying unlocks the other fifteen and, more usefully, the report you can put in front of a client.

  • PDF export

For the strategist who owns the recommendation.

All twenty models, unlimited scenarios, and the Master Report every module writes into — the thing you actually present.

  • ·All 20 models
  • ·Unlimited runs and saved scenarios
  • ·Master Report and PDF export
  • ·Extra seats at $159 a month each
  • ·New models included as they ship
About two hours of billable time a month. The models behind it took thirty years of published research and rather longer than two hours to build.
Agency
$9,850/ year
Up to 10 seats · $82 per seat a month
For teams running effectiveness across several clients.

Everything in Individual for ten people, a shared report library so work doesn't live on one laptop, and time with me to get the team using it properly.

  • ·10 seats
  • ·Shared report library
  • ·20 hours of strategic support a year
  • ·We build your first client reports with you
  • ·Priority response
Under five people, individual seats cost less. We'll say so rather than let you overpay.
Managed
From $36,000/ year
Per brand · $9,000 a cycle · four clients at a time
For teams that want the analysis without running the platform.

The same twenty models, operated by me on a quarterly cadence. You hand over the data and get board-ready outputs back with written interpretation rather than a folder of charts. It is the platform delivered as a service, not a consulting engagement.

  • ·Quarterly full-suite analysis
  • ·Data cleaning and preparation
  • ·Written interpretation of every output
  • ·Presentation-ready decks
  • ·60-minute walkthrough per cycle
  • ·Bespoke modules on request
  • ·Platform seats for your team included
Four brands at a time, because it is my time rather than server time. If you need someone in the room defending the number as well, that is Advisory.

These are the diagnostics. They'll tell you whether you have a problem and roughly where it sits. The paid models are the ones that decide what to do about it — budget, channel mix, flighting, payback and causal measurement.

Beyond the platform

Some problems need more than a subscription. Two other ways to work together, priced openly for the same reason the plans above are.

Advisory
Have the work done for you

A fixed-price diagnostic on your own spend, a monthly retainer, or a pitch reviewed before a client picks it apart.

Training
Teach the team to do it

Seven modules built from the primary literature, taught against your own numbers rather than a case study.
