THE 208 AUDIT
WHY THIS EXISTS
A fixed-scope diagnostic. 10 business days. One fixed fee.
Built to name the real problem before anyone builds on top of it.
Most engagements start with a proposal. Ours start with a question: what's actually broken?
The problem you came in with is almost never the problem that matters. Most agencies build on the answer they were handed. We check that answer first. Every time. The Audit is that check.
WHAT’S IN IT
The Examine phase of our Cultural Mechanics process, sold on its own. We look at your positioning, your customer, your category, and how your marketing and business are actually lining up. We pressure-test the assumptions you're currently operating on.
YOU LEAVE WITH
-The real problem, named- not the obvious one
-The opportunity available to you now
-The first three moves to act on it
-A working session with your team to align around all of it
IN PRACTICE
When Von Hoffmann came to us, the stated problem was marketing. What we found was categorization — they were being filed under "contractors" by the customers who needed "architects." Every marketing dollar they'd spent was solving the wrong problem. That's the pattern. The problem you can name is rarely the one that matters.
TIMELINE + FEE
