Score your own
narrative before the Blueprint does
This isn't a stats sheet — it's the actual self-scoring worksheet across the four intelligence pillars a Blueprint engagement verifies for paying clients: Market, Audience, Competitive, and Trend. Find your weakest pillar in one sitting, before an investor, board member, or customer finds it for you.

The same four pillars behind every Blueprint engagement
What sends a narrative from "confident" to "unverified"
Three questions the probe forces you to answer
Each maps directly to one of the four intelligence pillars Blueprint verifies — the same pillars a named human synthesises into a signed Core Truth for every client.
"Where does that market number actually come from?"
Naming the source, the date, and the method is what separates a citable figure from a headline figure. The probe forces you to write all three down before you can call anything Verified.
"Who exactly is the buyer — not 'everyone who could use this'?"
If your honest first draft still says "everyone" or "anyone who," Audience Intelligence is unverified by definition. The probe makes you write the narrower sentence.
"What does ChatGPT say when you ask it what your company does?"
Most founders have never checked. The probe includes a real spot-check you can run in the next two minutes — the same question a Blueprint's Trend Intelligence Report runs across five AI surfaces.
The probe walks through all four pillars, plus a synthesis section to draft your own Core Truth.

Self-scoring is where the Blueprint starts
The probe tells you where your own narrative likely falls short. A full Blueprint runs the actual verification — four independently-researched intelligence reports against named primary sources, a full 5-surface AI Visibility Check, synthesised into one signed Core Truth and a 90-Day Action Roadmap — delivered in 48 hours by a named human verifier.
