A personal branding studio · Lisbon, since 2019

What the 90 minutes actually contains

Six things, in order, no spin.

You arrive with a problem that won't quite name itself. By the end of the call, you leave with a written one-pager — yours to keep whether we work together again or not.

  1. 00 – 10

    Cold read of how the market sees you today.

    We pull up your last 30 days of public presence — LinkedIn, podcast appearances, guest posts, anything with your name on it — and read it back to you like a booker would, not like a fan.

  2. 10 – 25

    The story only you can tell.

    A short, directed interview to surface the operator backstory that never makes it onto a website — the part your buyers actually want to hear, once you've stopped editing it for LinkedIn.

  3. 25 – 45

    A live audit of your positioning.

    We score you on our UPV scale — a 0–100 read of how unrepeatable your current narrative is, benchmarked against the 480+ founders we've sat with since 2019.

  4. 45 – 65

    Two positioning bets, written in your voice.

    Not taglines. Two concrete narrative angles — different shapes, different buyers — drafted live, in your tone, so you can feel the difference between them rather than guess at it.

  5. 65 – 80

    A 90-day content thesis, on the page.

    The first quarter of what a real engagement would sound like — three to five recurring formats, an editorial spine, and the buyer conversations each one unlocks.

  6. 80 – 90

    A frank go / no-go.

    If we'd be the wrong team for you, we say so on the call. We refund the €690 the same week, and you keep everything we wrote. We have done this 41 times.

Three numbers, before you book.

This is a selective room, and we tell you that up front.

0.4%

Of founders who apply are accepted into a paid engagement after the Diagnostic.

100%

Refund of the €690 if the fit-check fails. You keep the written one-pager.

Founders served across 31 countries since we opened in Lisbon in 2019.

What lands in your inbox, and when

From the click to a verdict, in 24 hours.

No long onboarding, no welcome sequence, no “excited to have you here.” Just four discrete emails, each one useful on its own.

  1. 01

    Confirmation, within 5 minutes.

    A calendar invite, the video link, and a one-line note from whoever will run your session. Stripe receipt attached. No upsell, no “here's what to read first.”

  2. 02

    Pre-work form, 48 hours before the call.

    Twelve questions, none of them “where do you see yourself in five years.” Takes about 20 minutes. We read every word and quote it back to you on the call.

  3. 03

    The 90-minute session, on the calendar.

    Conducted by a senior strategist from our 14-person Lisbon writing room — not a sales rep, not an account manager. We record it on our end so you can re-listen.

  4. 04

    A verdict and a UPV audit, within 24 hours.

    Either a written engagement offer with a scope and a price, or a candid “not us, here's who is” with the refund processed the same business day. You get the UPV score either way.

Six things founders actually ask, before they book

Honest answers, in your own words.

“€690 for 90 minutes feels like a lot before I've seen anything.”

It's the same price as roughly four hours with a senior brand strategist at any comparable studio in London or New York. You're paying for the room before the engagement, not for a sales pitch after it — and you walk away with a written one-pager whether we work together again or not.

“I don't have 90 minutes. I'm running a company.”

We schedule around your board cycle, not ours. Mornings in your timezone, evenings in ours. If you genuinely can't find 90 contiguous minutes, we split it across two sessions in the same week — same price, same output, no degradation. We've done this for three Series A CEOs and one founder in the middle of an acquisition.

“What if I pay and you tell me you're not the right fit?”

Then you get the full €690 back inside five business days, the written one-pager is yours to keep, and we suggest two or three studios we think would actually serve you — by name, with context. We have done this 41 times since 2019. It is not a marketing tactic.

“How does the refund actually work, mechanically?”

Same-day reversal to the original card. We don't ask you to fill out a form, write a paragraph, or sit on a retention call. The fit-check verdict is final and the money moves the same business day — Stripe receipt included.

“What's the actual difference between the Diagnostic and just hiring you?”

The Diagnostic is a paid read of whether we're the right room for you. A full engagement — typically 4.7 months on average, with 82% of clients extending into a retainer — only begins after both sides have agreed the fit is real. The Diagnostic is the front door, not the front door plus the hallway.

“What happens to the things I tell you in the room?”

Nothing leaves the room without your written say-so. The pre-work form, the recording, and the one-pager live in a closed drive accessible to the two strategists on your session and Mariana or Daniel. We do not mine them for case studies, podcast episodes, or content — even anonymised. If you want a quote in a case study later, you approve the exact wording first.

The last thing you'll read on this page.

€690. Ninety minutes. Refundable in full if we're not the right fit.

No discovery call before this. No “let's hop on a quick intro.” The Diagnostic is the introduction — paid, scheduled, and ours to make worth the money. If we're the right room, you'll know inside ten minutes.
