The proof ledger
Real results, concrete numbers. How Readability Engineering turns copy into revenue.
This page holds the studio's full record. Every asset below is visual proof of a material — digital or print — engineered with one economic job: eradicating eye strain to protect the ROI of the copy. Projects with tracked metrics open the strategic analysis; the others show the protocol applied, in the layout gallery.
Core case studies
full strategic analysis, with the metrics where they were tracked
11.14% tracked response rate

Analyze the visual strategy
150 copies in a month, and a €2.5M client
(Tax consulting, positioning book) Full interior grid overhaul and a cover built as an ad, with calls to action inside the chapters pointing to backend services.
Analyze the visual strategy
50% QR scan rate
(Mindfulness training, print brochure) Block-based reading path and structural bolding: half the readers reach the response device and scan it.
Analyze the visual strategy
37 leads in a single day
(B2B services, tri-fold) Panel sequence rebuilt around the real reading order, one single action requested, no decorative element competing with the text.
Analyze the visual strategy
600 copies sold in 4 days
(Independent comic book) Cover and launch assets built on one single angle: the book leaves the publishing circuit and sells in four days what most self-published titles sell in a year.
Analyze the visual strategy
Sold-out nights from posters
(Venue, event promotion) Event posters with three reading levels calibrated to viewing distance: the call to action stays legible from outside, where the decision happens.
Analyze the visual strategy
€1,700 in revenue from one postcard
(Fitness, personal trainer) One offer, one action and a trackable QR: the real case of a personal trainer who replaced social media with a measurable piece of paper.
Analyze the visual strategy
€12,000 in revenue from one flyer
(Real estate) A “plain” neighbourhood flyer rebuilt with offer, guarantee and response device up front: same distribution, response measured in signed contracts.
Analyze the visual strategy
778 downloads in 90 days
(Camper site) From price list to lead machine: the free guide becomes the leaflet's response device, with QR and reading path built around the sign-up.
Analyze the visual strategy
2,500 copies sold in self-publishing
(Wine publishing) With a cover that does not look self-published: title legible at thumbnail size, explicit promise, no illustration competing with the text.
Analyze the visual strategy
120 spontaneous sign-ups
(Comic project started from zero) Direct response design applied to a project with no audience: cover and interiors built to carry the reader to the channel, with sign-up as the only action requested.
