Feasibility analysis

You've had this project in your head for a while. You're missing three answers: does it hold up, what it needs, and what it really costs.

The feasibility analysis is $147: I study your material, we talk for 30 minutes, and you get the three answers in writing, with an exact price and a date. If the project starts within 30 days, the $147 comes off the total.

The document

One written page that tells you if your project works, how, and at what price

Send me what you have: manuscript, current brochure, website, notes, whatever exists. I analyze it, we have a 30-minute call, and I hand you a one-page document with five fixed sections:

Feasibility analysis

1 page, 5 sections

1

What I saw

the real state of your material, point by point.

2

The verdict

whether the project holds up.

3

What it needs

what's missing to make it work.

4

The step plan

who does what, in what order.

5

The exact price

with the delivery date next to it.

The number you read in the fifth section is what you'll pay. In writing, with my signature under it.

The three verdicts

Three possible verdicts. Red is worth as much as green.

Green

The project holds up. In the document you'll find the plan and exact price. You decide if and when to start.

Yellow

It can be done, but one specific thing is needed first. A text to fix, photos to redo, a missing piece of data. I point it out and tell you how much it weighs on timeline and price.

Red

Doing it now would lose you money. I write it down, with the numbers behind it, and I point you to a concrete alternative that gets you the same result.

A free opinion comes from someone who only eats if they tell you yes. The $147 pays for my freedom to tell you no when no is the right answer. A red written today saves you everything you'd have poured into the wrong project.

The method

What I analyze

Five questions, the same for any material:

1

Does it make sense, by the numbers?

What it costs to produce, what it has to bring in to pay for itself. If the math doesn't work, I tell you.

2

Is it built for its goal?

Selling and building a list need different pieces. I tell you what yours is built for, and what it isn't.

3

Is there a better or cheaper format for the same result?

If a postcard does a brochure's job, you'll want to know before you print the brochure.

4

Where does it lose the reader?

The exact point where whoever reads or visits stops and puts it down.

5

How does it look next to your competitors?

Whether it's professional enough, whether it holds up against who you compete with, and whether it's aligned with what you're selling.

See all the studio's work

New project or already printed: the analysis works the same.

How it works

The ballpark is free, up front. The $147 only comes in at step three.

1

You email me: two lines on what the project is and where you are.

2

I reply with a ballpark range, free. So you know right away if we're in the same order of magnitude.

3

If the range works for you, $147: you send me the material, I analyze it, we talk for 30 minutes.

4

You get the document and decide. If we start within 30 days, the $147 comes off the total.
