A fixed-fee positioning sprint for agency founders

You've positioned everyone but your own agency.

ReasonForge runs a 12-pass diagnostic on your agency, tags every claim by the evidence behind it, and ships one defensible position — only after it clears 18 structural quality gates. Your real position, proven — not guessed.

The problem

The cobbler's children, at agency scale.

You write sharper positioning for your clients in a week than your own site has had in years. Not because you can't — because you're too close to the work, and because a real position means choosing what you'll stop selling.

So the homepage hedges. And a hedge reads the same as everyone else's hedge — which is how capable agencies end up compared on price instead of on the work.

"We're a full-service digital agency that drives real results."

The line that keeps every door open — and invites the price comparison. This isn't a skill gap. It's the seat you're sitting in.

What's different

Built for correction, not blind trust.

A generic AI tool will hand you a confident positioning statement in thirty seconds — invented on the spot. ReasonForge treats machine output as a draft to be interrogated. Every claim carries a tag saying where it came from, and nothing ships until it clears the gates.

Every claim is tagged
REPORTEDStated by you or your clients, on the record. The strongest ground.
OBSERVEDVisible in your public footprint — site, case studies, reviews, hiring.
INFERREDFollows from the evidence — with the chain of reasoning shown, so you can break it.
HYPOTHESISEDFlagged as a bet worth testing — never dressed up as a fact.

If we can't tag it, it doesn't go in the document.

The ReasonForge Sprint

What ships.

01

The Position Object

A 12-pass diagnostic of your agency — business reality, buyer reality, problem diagnosis, neglected opportunities, USP and causal mechanism, outcomes and KPIs, emotional arc, competitive alternatives, offer construction — compressed into:

One defensible, one-sentence position
A messaging framework your team can write from
The 18-gate scorecard it passed, score included
02

The Evidence-Grounded Outreach Kit

The same discipline, pointed at your pipeline. Not generic flattery — cited gaps:

Research on your named target prospects
The real, provable gap in each prospect's public positioning
Personalized outreach emails drafted from that evidence — ready to send, not spam

Days, not weeks.

The diagnostic runs on engines we built for our own consulting work — the sprint is the packaged version. Your time in it is a handful of focused inputs, not a discovery phase.

Pricing
$6,500 flat

One fee. Both deliverables. No discovery-phase meter running, no retainer to exit later. If a position can't clear the gates from your evidence, we tell you that too.
