The Business Logic

The Origin: What was the specific moment you decided to start this business?

Was it out of frustration? Inspiration? A specific event?

The Name: What does the name mean? If it's a family name, what values does that family hold? If it's abstract, what is the concept?

The "Expensive" Problem: What is the single most costly or painful problem your customers are facing right now that you solve for them?

The Future State: Fast forward 5 years. If this brand is wildly successful, what does that look like?

Think beyond revenue. What has changed in your industry, your community, or the world because of what you built?

The Competitor Gap: Who are your top 3:5 competitors? More importantly, What are they missing or overlooking that you provide or you do differently?

The Audience

The "Insomnia" Test: Describe your ideal client. Don't just tell us their age—tell us what keeps them awake at night? What are they afraid of?

e.g., An HR Manager who is terrified of a compliance audit. She loses sleep worrying she missed a tax update. She wants peace of mind, not just software.

The "Onlyness" Factor: Complete this sentence: "We are the ONLY [Category] that [Benefit] for [Customer]

e.g., We are the ONLY gym that offers childcare for single dads

The Values and Culture

What are the three values your organisation would never compromise on, even under pressure?

Not the polished ones on your website. The real ones.

What kind of clients or projects would you turn down, even if the money was good? Why?

How would your best client describe working with you to a friend?

The Emotional Territory

When someone experiences your brand for the first time, what is the single feeling you want them to walk away with?

Describe a real moment where you made a meaningful difference for a client or community. What happened and what changed for them?

Before working with you, what is your client's reality? After working with you, what becomes possible for them?

The Aesthetic Calibration

The "Outfit" Test: If your brand were a human being walking into a room, how would they be dressed?

e.g., A crisp navy suit? A lab coat? Ripped jeans and a vintage tee? be detailed

If your brand were a person at a dinner party, how would they speak, what stories would they tell, and how would others feel after talking to them?

e.g., Are they the quiet one with the unexpected insight that stops the conversation? The passionate storyteller everyone circles back to? The straight-talker who makes complex things simple? Be specific about how they speak and how people feel after talking to them.

The Brand Landscape: List 3 brands (from any industry) that you admire. Why do you like them?

e.g., “I like Apple because it feels calm,” or “I like Harley Davidson because it feels rebellious.

The Anti-Brand: Is there a specific color, style, or vibe that you absolutely hate or want to avoid?
