SEVEN DECISIONS / ONE CONNECTED METHOD
Start with the question
on your desk.
Open a question. Use its tabs to explore the answer, compare options and see what your team receives.
01Audience discoveryWhich audiences should we build our next launch around?
Landscape · Priority profiles · Audience brief
Which audiences should we build our next launch around?
Landscape · Priority profiles · Audience brief
See what makes a group distinct.
Read the practice behind the interest. The same category can serve a different purpose in each community.
Culturegraphic profiles + evidence to investigate
Sample signal: people demonstrate ways to simplify an everyday routine.
Hypothesis: fewer steps may matter more than an abstract sustainability claim.
Examine practical minimalists as a launch audience.
Illustrative reasoning. No research finding is asserted.
Prioritize fit, then explain it.
Compare the offering with each cultural context. A popular group is not automatically the right audience.
Prioritized audience opportunities
These sample indices compare fit, not audience size.
Synthetic scores. Evidence, uncertainty and validation are specified in an engagement.
Give the brief a real audience.
Carry the selected group’s motivation, language and proof requirements into the work your team commissions.
Audience brief + activation implications
Carry the insight
into the work.
- Focus
- Show the everyday task, not a generic lifestyle montage.
- Proof
- Demonstrate the refill without adding steps.
- Next step
- Validate the audience hypothesis before scaling.
02Campaign strategyHow can one campaign reach different communities without losing its central idea?
Campaign platform · Scenario readout · Activation briefs
How can one campaign reach different communities without losing its central idea?
Campaign platform · Scenario readout · Activation briefs
One campaign idea. Several credible invitations.
Translate the same proposition through what matters in each cultural context. Keep claims and commitments consistent.
Narrative architecture + adaptation rules
Fewer steps
Proof: Show the routine
Value over time
Proof: Show the refill cost
Made to keep
Proof: Show the durable design
Sample narrative territories. Cultural context and claims require validation.
Test the expression before the rollout.
Hold the audience constant. Compare what changes when the campaign makes its benefit and proof more concrete.
Scenario comparison + creative guardrails
The need fits. The claim still needs proof.
Precomputed examples. Separate indices, not purchase probabilities or a live simulation.
Connect the concept to the actual work.
Translate the chosen direction into a brief your creative and media partners can use across formats.
Campaign platform + audience-specific briefs
Carry the insight
into the work.
- Focus
- Open on a familiar routine.
- Proof
- Show the replacement and what stays the same.
- Next step
- Invite one first trial; validate the promise.
03Product & market entryWhere should this product launch first, and what needs to change before it does?
Launch landscape · Decision comparison · Launch plan
Where should this product launch first, and what needs to change before it does?
Launch landscape · Decision comparison · Launch plan
Product fit and relevance are different.
Assess whether the offer belongs in the group’s life and whether its benefit matters in the current context.
Culture Market Fit + resistance diagnostic
Indices are illustrative. Relevance does not guarantee adoption.
Synthetic scores. Evidence, uncertainty and validation are specified in an engagement.
Change the launch strategy, not the audience.
Compare the current proposition with stronger proof and an easier first step. See which obstacle each intervention addresses.
Launch scenarios + validation priorities
The need fits. The claim still needs proof.
Precomputed examples. Separate indices, not purchase probabilities or a live simulation.
Make the launch recommendation executable.
Bring audience priority, proposition, proof and pilot criteria together before committing the wider rollout.
Market-entry recommendation + pilot brief
Carry the insight
into the work.
- Focus
- Lead with the routine the product improves.
- Proof
- Demonstrate performance and the refill process.
- Next step
- Pilot trial, repeat use and unresolved objections.
04Content at scaleHow do we create for multiple audiences without restarting the strategy for every asset?
Narrative system · Production inputs · Review loop
How do we create for multiple audiences without restarting the strategy for every asset?
Narrative system · Production inputs · Review loop
Make the strategy reusable across briefs.
Define what stays constant and what adapts. Every asset inherits a cultural audience, promise and proof requirement.
Narrative architecture + adaptation rules
Fewer steps
Proof: Show the routine
Value over time
Proof: Show the refill cost
Made to keep
Proof: Show the durable design
Sample narrative territories. Cultural context and claims require validation.
Watch the brief become a storyboard.
A selected cultural context becomes a hook, proof sequence and action. Labs helps operate and review the workflow.
Briefs, scripts + scoped creative variants
Carry the insight
into the work.
- Focus
- A familiar routine, one useful improvement.
- Proof
- Show the refill in three clear steps.
- Next step
- Try the starter; verify all claims before release.
Compare the work before multiplying it.
Pressure-test the expression before commissioning many versions. A weak premise scales just as easily as a strong one.
Creative scenario readout + review criteria
The intended benefit is vague in this context.
Precomputed examples. Separate indices, not purchase probabilities or a live simulation.
05Creator & partnership strategyWho should carry this story, and why would the intended community listen?
Partner landscape · Shortlist evidence · Partnership brief
Who should carry this story, and why would the intended community listen?
Partner landscape · Shortlist evidence · Partnership brief
Ask what gives a voice credibility.
Look for relevant practice and community response. Popularity alone does not establish authority in the selected culture.
Partner rationale + evidence requirements
Sample evidence to inspect: demonstrations, repeated references and substantive audience questions.
Hypothesis: a practitioner who shows the task may be credible for this promise.
Shortlist by role, cultural context and evidence.
Illustrative reasoning. No research finding is asserted.
Test the messenger with the message.
Compare the same offer through different partnership approaches. Keep disclosure and brand commitments fixed.
Messenger comparison + activation hypothesis
The endorsement supplies attention but little practical proof.
Precomputed examples. Separate indices, not purchase probabilities or a live simulation.
Give each partner a job worth doing.
Translate the selected role into a brief with proof, creative freedom and a clear review boundary.
Creator brief + evaluation framework
Carry the insight
into the work.
- Focus
- Start from a routine the community recognizes.
- Proof
- Demonstrate actual product use with clear disclosure.
- Next step
- Invite questions; validate claims and partnership terms.
06Category & competitive intelligenceWhere is our category crowded, and where could we credibly lead?

Where is our category crowded, and where could we credibly lead?
Category model · Opportunity readout · Ongoing register
Map who shapes the category’s meaning.
Follow brands, practitioners and communities together. Category influence can come from beyond the conventional competitor list.
Category territories + cultural adjacencies
Illustrative field
100 visual cells
Evaluate where you have permission to lead.
Compare potential territories against cultural fit. Keep delivery capability and commercial validation in the decision.
Positioning territories + strategic tradeoffs
An illustrative fit index is not a market-share forecast.
Synthetic scores. Evidence, uncertainty and validation are specified in an engagement.
Turn the landscape into a strategic choice.
Carry the strongest territory into a brief for leadership, product, brand and innovation teams.
Category strategy + investment questions
Carry the insight
into the work.
- Focus
- Define the cultural need the territory serves.
- Proof
- Specify the product evidence the promise requires.
- Next step
- Validate with customers and the delivery team.
07Positioning & narrative architectureWhat should stay true everywhere, and what must change for the story to land?

What should stay true everywhere, and what must change for the story to land?
Positioning evidence · Narrative architecture · Expression guide
Find the tension the brand must resolve.
Read where the proposition conflicts with an audience’s expectations. Make that tension visible before writing the line.
Meaning and resistance diagnostic
Sample response to investigate: “Less waste sounds good, but will this complicate my routine?”
The audience may accept the mission while questioning the practical experience.
Make ease and performance part of the proof.
Illustrative reasoning. No research finding is asserted.
Test the promise in its actual context.
Compare narrative directions with the same audience. A stronger expression should answer the specific resistance.
Positioning scenarios + evidence requirements
The need fits. The claim still needs proof.
Precomputed examples. Separate indices, not purchase probabilities or a live simulation.
Build the architecture behind the expressions.
Keep the organization’s promise coherent. Adapt the entry point, proof and invitation to each relevant cultural group.
Narrative architecture + adaptation rules
Fewer steps
Proof: Show the routine
Value over time
Proof: Show the refill cost
Made to keep
Proof: Show the durable design
Sample narrative territories. Cultural context and claims require validation.
