The Teardown / competitor messaging audit

Nobody at your firm will say this.

Your homepage is probably making the same promises as your three closest competitors. The Teardown puts you side by side, quotes them next to you and tells you what to kill first. It won't be polite.

Run in minutes by our AI agent, or add a senior strategist to challenge the findings with you. From $1,500.

What you get

Four hard truths and a way out.

  1. 01

    The sameness test

    Your homepage lined up against your three closest competitors, their words next to yours. Every line where you say the same thing, flagged.

  2. 02

    The claim you're not making

    The provable difference you're too careful to say, the evidence behind it and the proof you still need to collect before you use it.

  3. 03

    What to kill

    The copy and offers that dilute your message, and exactly why each one has to go.

  4. 04

    Your next three moves

    Three priorities and a week-by-week 90-day plan, specific enough to hand to whoever does the work.

See all four in a fictional sample.

How it works

Three steps. Then the truth.

  1. 01

    Choose your support

    The report on its own, the report plus a strategist debrief, or a working session with your leadership team. Fixed prices. No scoping call.

  2. 02

    Give us the context

    Your website, three competitor websites, who you sell to and what you want to win. About five minutes.

  3. 03

    Get the findings

    A private results page and a PDF to keep, followed by the strategist session included in your option.

How it thinks

The method, without the mystery.

The Teardown is run by an AI agent built on the Creative Juice method, shaped by more than 35 years of brand and campaign work inside professional services and B2B firms. It reads the pages you name, lines up the claims, scores all four firms on the same rubric and commits to a direction most consultants are too careful to give.

Every competitor quote in the sameness test is checked against the live page, and anything it can't prove is cut. It's guarded against tricks hidden in websites, and reports that fail our checks are held for a strategist before they reach you.

Treat its claim as a hypothesis to test against your records and your clients. That's what the Debrief is for, and it's where the Sprint begins: what the Teardown breaks, the Sprint builds.

Who it's for

If a logo swap makes your site a competitor's, start here.

Engineering, accounting, security, construction and technology services firms. The work is strong, the market is crowded and the marketing says "quality, integrity, service" like everyone else's.

If you want to be told your marketing is fine, this isn't for you.

Questions

Before you pay.

Is a person doing this?
The report is run by an AI agent built on the Creative Juice method, shaped by more than 35 years of brand and campaign work. The Instant Teardown is AI only. The Debrief and Leadership Teardowns add a senior strategist who reviews the report, challenges it and works through it with you.
Why pay for this instead of asking ChatGPT?
You can run your own comparison, and you'll probably get "clarify your value proposition." The Teardown reads your site and three competitors side by side, quotes their words next to yours, scores all four on the same rubric, commits to one claim you could own and turns it into a 90-day plan. The sample shows exactly what you get.
Which one should I choose?
Instant, if your team can weigh the findings and act on them. The Debrief, if you want a senior strategist to challenge the recommendations and pick the first move with you. Leadership, if several decision-makers need to agree on what happens next.
Is it confidential?
Your Teardown lives on a private link that only you receive, and we never publish it or use your name without asking. To produce it, your answers and the public pages you name are processed by our AI provider, and trusted providers handle hosting, payments and email. The privacy policy has the details.
What if I disagree with it?
Push back. A recommendation can miss context only you have. If the report gets a fact wrong, tell us within 14 days and we'll correct it at no charge. Arguing with the findings is exactly what the Debrief is for.
Can I get a refund?
If we can't deliver your Teardown, for example because your website can't be read, you get a full refund. If the report gets a fact wrong, tell us within 14 days and we'll correct it at no charge. Once a Teardown is delivered, the fee isn't refundable.
What happens after?
Some firms take the Teardown and run with it. Others bring us in to build the position, the words and the campaign. Your full Teardown fee is credited toward a Provocation Sprint if you sign a Sprint agreement within 30 days of receiving your Teardown.
How long does it take?
Instant: Usually within minutes. If a report needs a strategist's check first, within one business day. Debrief: Report within minutes. Your 45-minute debrief is scheduled within five business days. Leadership: Report within minutes. Your leadership session is scheduled within ten business days, and the priority memo follows within five business days of the session.
