Choose the problem you can already see.

Diagnostics are evergreen problem pages for owner-led businesses that know something is underperforming, but need sharper language, clearer sorting, and a better next step before they apply.

Look for the visible constraint first.

  • Name the leak in buyer language.
  • Check whether the issue is narrow or systemic.
  • Route to the smallest honest starting point.
01

What the business already feels like

Pick the clearest visible symptom instead of the broadest possible story. The goal is to find the next move, not manufacture complexity.

Leads

Leads are coming in, but not booking.

The front-end path has response, routing, or booking friction, and you need the stable problem page before choosing the narrower fix.

  • Slow reply speed
  • Weak handoff after first contact
  • No visible follow-up rules
Read the Diagnostic page
Follow-up

Follow-up depends on one person.

The system is partly real, but ownership and cadence are fragile.

  • Reply rules live in one inbox
  • No review checkpoint
  • Missed calls quietly pile up
Read the supporting Field Note
Offer

The leak is real, but the bottleneck is not obvious yet.

You need the map before you choose the narrower fix.

  • Multiple possible failure points
  • Too many overlapping stories
  • No ranked next move
Best starting point: Revenue Leak Audit
AI cleanup

AI is useful, but no one really trusts how it is happening.

The team has upside, but the workflow is unofficial, brittle, or hard to review.

  • Prompt habits vary wildly
  • Review rules are weak
  • Leadership visibility is low
Best starting point: AI Amnesty Review

Topics that can expand into full evergreen pages

Offers and positioning

Where the offer is fuzzy, mismatched, or too hard to route into the next action.

Lead response and routing

Where inquiries arrive, but the path from first touch to booked conversation is weak.

Sales motion and handoff

Where scripts, demos, estimates, or ownership rules are costing close rate.

Onboarding and retention

Where early delivery friction is lowering repeat revenue, referrals, or expansion.

Workflow visibility

Where teams cannot see what the current live path actually looks like.

AI cleanup

Where unofficial AI use needs visibility, review rules, and keep / fix / stop guidance.

  • You want the clearest problem statement, not a generic service menu
  • You want buyer-language pages that still route toward action
  • You need to decide whether the next move is narrower or broader
  • Use Field Notes for examples, teardowns, and supporting nuance
  • Use Diagnostics for the evergreen “what problem is this?” surface
  • Let the two sections cross-link, not collapse into one blob

If the visible problem is still too broad, start with the Revenue Leak Audit and route down from there.

The point is not to force a bigger engagement. The point is to find the right starting point fast.
