Retrieval audit

The Legibility Audit

A retrieval audit for businesses with proof the market still cannot hold.

£5,000. Ten working days. Fixed fee.

Who this is for

  • A founder or CMO whose business has real substance but still feels oddly hard to describe from the outside.
  • A team with proof, traction or press that is not yet compounding into trust or recall.
  • A business about to invest in positioning, PR or category work and wanting the external diagnosis first.

What you get

Deliverable 01

Perception map

A clear read on how the business currently appears across your site, search, AI outputs, media and category discussion.

Deliverable 02

Proof and signal read

A diagnosis of what proof is doing useful work, what is sitting idle, and where weak signals are making the business easier to miss.

Deliverable 03

Narrative window

A directional read on the territory that still looks ownable and the next strategic move that follows from it.

What this is not

  • Not a content inventory.
  • Not a generic SEO audit.
  • Not the technical implementation layer.

FAQ

What does the audit look at?

Your site, search, AI outputs, media signal and category conversation, viewed as one retrieval environment rather than separate channels.

How is this different from The Scriptwriter Test™?

The Scriptwriter Test™ diagnoses the story itself. The Legibility Audit diagnoses the wider external surface that story has to travel through.

What do we receive?

A diagnosis of how the business is currently being retrieved, where proof is trapped, and what strategic opening still belongs to you.

Is this technical implementation?

No. This is the diagnosis layer. Technical work, if needed, is a separate stream.

Is the fee fixed?

Yes. The Legibility Audit is a fixed-fee engagement at £5,000.

If the business is strong but the signal is weak, this is the read.

It shows what the market can actually see before anyone spends more time producing more noise.
