Built for rural health organizations, associations, and advocacy groups whose work is clearer than their communications. Most groups buy a rebrand, a retainer, or an offsite before they can say why their audience keeps missing them. The Clarity Diagnostic scores exactly that in about two weeks. You leave with a four-layer scorecard, the layer costing you the most, and a clear next step. Then you decide, with evidence in hand.

Most teams diagnose clarity problems by gut feel, in a meeting that ends without a decision. The Diagnostic gives you something you can hold instead. We score your organization across the four layers of the Consistency Stack, the layers that decide whether people understand you: what you believe, what you say, how consistently you show up, and how you know it's working. The readout shows where you're strong, where you're losing people, and what to fix first.
It takes the guesswork out of the first decision and ends with a clear recommendation. For most organizations, it's the cleanest way to start working with us.
A written readout, eight to twelve pages, clear enough for a board member to follow start to finish, plus a summary deck of next steps.
Your score on each layer, with the reason for every mark quoted from your own materials. None of it is a matter of taste.
Named, with what it's costing you, in your terms. This is usually the part your team argues about, in the good way.
What to do next, and at what scope, covering the words and the visuals. Sometimes the right move is to wait, and the deck will say so.
The read covers how your organization looks as well as how it sounds. A brand that looks clear and one that looks improvised are usually saying the same thing about the story underneath, and the scorecard treats them as one problem.
If your organization holds or is pursuing Rural Health Transformation funds, this is the same scored read, scoped to a single funded program and the community it serves. It's the version a funder recognizes on sight.
You get a scored adoption-readiness assessment and a written readout: whether the people your program was built for understand it, trust it, and will act on it, plus the gaps most likely to stall uptake. It counts as technical assistance, and it's scoped tightly enough to be an easy first move inside a subaward.
It's also the clearest first step before a larger adoption engagement, because it tells you whether you need one at all.
What you believe.
The convictions under the work. If the foundation is unclear, everything built on it wobbles. We check whether your organization knows what it stands for and can say it in a sentence.
What you say.
The sentences that carry the work into the world. We check whether your message is clear enough to grasp quickly, repeat accurately, and summarize correctly, whether a person or a machine is reading it for your audience.
How you show up.
Consistency over time. We check whether your communications arrive often and steadily enough to build belief, or come in bursts and then go quiet for months.
How you know it is working.
The feedback loop. We check whether you can tell the story is landing, beyond opens and likes, so you adjust with evidence instead of instinct.
Most organizations guess their way into a rebrand or a retainer. Answer eight questions and get a specific number instead, plus the one layer costing you the most, sent straight to your inbox.
Free · Two Minutes
A simple assessment of the four layers that decide whether your audience understands you, along with the AI now reading on their behalf. Two minutes to get your score and start getting clear.
We gather what you already have: current messaging, recent communications, and a short working conversation about where the organization is headed. No long intake forms.
We assess the four layers of the Consistency Stack and score where you sit on each, with the reason for every mark. The score is a tool for the conversation, not a grade for its own sake.
You receive three things: the four-layer scorecard, the single layer costing you the most and what it costs you, and a summary deck of next steps.
Most organizations spend months on a rebrand or a campaign built on a hunch, then spend the next year living with it. The Diagnostic replaces the hunch with a scored read of where your story stands. The rebrand you don't need, the retainer you're not ready for, the offsite that would have gone in circles: knowing which to skip is worth more than the read itself. Whatever you do next, you'll know why.
If the readout doesn't make your next decision clearer, tell us and we'll refund it. A diagnosis is only worth what it changes. That risk belongs with us.
Every Diagnostic ends with a recommendation, and it points to one of three kinds of work. When one thing needs fixing, it's a Groundwork project: one deliverable, one price, one end date. When clarity needs tending month to month, it's a Harvest retainer at Ground, Growth, or Full, scoped to what the readout calls for. When the whole communications system needs rebuilding, it's the StoryFoundry Build. Either way, you choose your next move knowing exactly why.
