Authority Context Audit
The Authority Context Audit identifies where your message is decaying, what that may be costing the business, and whether an authority book is the right asset to correct it.
Investment: $1,250. Credited toward a ghostwriting engagement begun within 30 days.
Where the signal typically decays
A rough picture of how much of your actual thinking survives each handoff. The audit maps your version of this.
The situation
What the audit examines
01
What do you believe that your market needs to understand?
02
What exists across the website, LinkedIn, presentations, articles, podcasts and client materials?
03
Where does the explanation become generic, incomplete or dependent on you being in the room?
04
Should the asset support referrals, sales, speaking, client education or positioning?
05
Is there a book-worthy idea strong enough to carry the argument?
What happens
You complete a short questionnaire and submit relevant material.
We examine your website, LinkedIn profile, content and existing intellectual property.
A 75 to 90-minute strategic interview, one on one.
We prepare a written Authority Context Report.
We walk through the findings together and recommend the most useful next step.
Deliverables
Who it's for
This is for
Experienced advisors, consultants, coaches, speakers, founders and business leaders who already have expertise, clients and evidence behind their work.
This is not for
Aspiring writers looking for general help developing a book idea, with no existing client base or track record to draw from.
Why the audit is paid
We're reviewing your business, your message and your existing material, then producing a written, usable strategic recommendation — whether or not it points toward a book. That work has a cost because it takes real time and produces a real deliverable, not a pitch.
Frequently asked questions
No. You'll leave with a proposed central idea and a recommendation on whether a book is the right asset — the audit is diagnosis, not architecture. Full book architecture happens in coaching or ghostwriting.
Anything that already carries your thinking — website copy, LinkedIn posts, talks, articles, client materials, past outlines or notes. There's no minimum; we'll tell you if we need more.
You'll get an honest answer and, where useful, a recommendation for a better-fit next step. We'd rather tell you a book isn't right than sell you one that is.
Yes. The $1,250 audit fee is credited toward a ghostwriting engagement if you begin one within 30 days of your findings review.
Roughly 2 to 3 hours total: the intake questionnaire, the strategic interview, and the findings review.
No. Most clients haven't written anything yet. The audit works from what already exists in your business, not from a draft.
Find out what the book needs to do, who it needs to influence, and whether the business case is strong enough to proceed.
