01 / Defined engagement
One defined offer, made easier to understand.
For an owner-led service business or small team with an established offer that needs a clearer record of buyer questions, entities, terminology, and structured-information opportunities.

Discovery record structure
- 01 / Questions Buyer questions The questions, objections, and concerns surrounding the offer are made visible.
- 02 / Entities Entity map The people, organization, service, place, and related concepts are identified.
- 03 / Terms Terminology The language needed for consistent search, answer, and structured-information handling is recorded.
- 04 / Action Priority record The findings become a bounded sequence of practical implementation decisions.
Fee
The fixed setup fee is US$750. Payment processing is included in the listed price.
Starting point
The work proceeds from one defined offer, its intended buyer context, a current public path or supplied source material, and enough evidence to examine how the offer is understood. A prior Assessment or Measurement Setup may provide useful context, but neither is required when equivalent evidence exists.
Working layer
The output is a bounded Discovery Record: one defined offer, one buyer context, one buyer-intent and terminology baseline, a structured-information gap review, prioritized findings, and a clear handoff boundary for the next decision.
Commercial position
Discovery Setup is a need-based engagement within a practical Revenue Path progression, not a mandatory dependency. It is especially relevant when language, meaning, entities, ontology, and human editorial judgment shape the next publication decision. A general operational or product-path implementation belongs to the separate System Build.
Relevant next decisions
When publication is supported by the record, a separate Revenue Path Semantic Publication Build can put agreed findings into answer-first content, entity-consistent information, structured data, and semantic internal links. Advisory Hours remain available independently for a defined review or bounded follow-up.
02 / Discovery scope
One offer, one language system, one record.
The setup defines the buyer questions, entities, terminology, and structured-information gaps that shape how one offer can be understood across search and answer systems.
Offer boundary
One defined offer, one intended buyer context, and one public path from a relevant question to an appropriate business action.
Question baseline
A defined set of buyer questions, objections, concerns, and fear clusters that the offer must answer clearly.
Entity structure
A map of the people, organization, service, place, terminology, and related concepts that must remain consistent across the publication.
Information gaps
Review of structured-data, schema, answer-first, FAQ, semantic-linking, competitor, and citation-context gaps relevant to the defined offer.
Working vocabulary
Where relevant, the record uses current terms such as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI-search visibility, semantic search, entity optimization, structured data, and knowledge-graph alignment.
What is required
The buyer provides the agreed offer description, intended buyer context, relevant source materials or URLs, access and permissions needed for the review, and timely decisions. The delivery clock begins only after the required inputs are received and the scope is confirmed.
What is outside scope
A fixed-scope Discovery Setup is not unlimited remediation. Broken infrastructure, missing access, unresolved platform work, full-site programs, multiple offers, ongoing monitoring, publication implementation, or materially expanded requirements may require separate scope.

03 / Delivery record
A discovery record you can inspect and use.
The deliverable records the questions, entities, terminology, gaps, recommendations, and limits that remain after the discovery work.
Offer record
The defined offer, intended buyer context, current public path, and intended business action are named at the start of the record.
Question register
Buyer questions, objections, concerns, and fear clusters are grouped into a usable baseline for page and publication decisions.
Entity and terminology map
The people, organization, service, place, concepts, names, and terms that must remain consistent across the offer’s public information.
Structured-information review
Review of relevant schema, JSON-LD, semantic HTML, FAQ, answer-first, internal-linking, competitor, and citation-context opportunities.
Priority guidance
Findings are sequenced into practical publication and implementation decisions. The record is human-reviewed; machine-assisted analysis, extraction, and checking may be used where useful. Machine assistance is a delivery method, not the product.
Primary deliverables
Buyer-intent baseline; terminology/entity map; question and objection register; search or answer-engine snapshot; structured-data gap register; prioritized findings; and a Semantic Publication Build handoff.
Executive communication portal
Engagement clients receive individual access to a secure executive communication portal on a dedicated subdomain. The portal keeps the Discovery Record, decisions, source materials, reports, and handoff together so the current record does not scatter across email threads, shared links, shared drives, or SMS. It is delivery infrastructure, not a seventh paid offer.

What the Discovery Record contains
The defined offer and buyer context held in scope.
The baseline of buyer questions, objections, and concerns.
The named entities and terminology required for consistency.
Structured-information, answer-first, FAQ, and related visibility gaps.
A practical sequence that can support a separate Semantic Publication Build.
04 / Discovery sequence
Frame, map, review, prioritize.
The sequence keeps the discovery tied to one defined offer and one buyer context. It describes the internal delivery method for this bounded record, not a mandatory order that every buyer must follow.
01 / Frame
Confirm the offer, intended buyer context, public path, and the question the discovery record must clarify.
02 / Map
Map buyer questions, entities, terminology, objections, concerns, and the information already available to the buyer.
03 / Review
Review structured information, schema, answer-first and FAQ opportunities, semantic connections, and relevant competitor or citation context.
04 / Prioritize
Provide the Discovery Record with implementation-ready priorities and a clear boundary around what was and was not established.
05 / Fit and limits
Specific enough to make useful decisions.
The fixed scope fits one defined offer with an identifiable buyer context and enough public or supplied information to examine how the offer is understood.
-
Good fit
One defined offer, an identified buyer context, a public page or supplied source material, and a decision-maker who can act on the record. A prior Assessment or Measurement Setup is useful but not required when equivalent evidence or a defined specification is already available.
-
What is outside scope
Full-site SEO or content programs, multiple offers, broad market research, paid media, ongoing monitoring, publication implementation, ranking, traffic, or citation guarantees, broken infrastructure, missing access, unresolved platform work, and materially expanded requirements are separately scoped.
-
Client inputs
The client supplies the offer description, intended buyer context, relevant URLs or source materials, timely decisions, and any permissions needed for the agreed review.
-
Evidence boundary
The record reflects the public and supplied information available during the engagement. Missing evidence is identified rather than inferred.
06 / Engagement terms
Scope agreed before discovery.
The fee covers the Discovery Record described on this page. The delivery clock begins only after payment, scope confirmation, intake, and the required source information, access, permissions, and decisions are received.
-
Payment
US$750 prepaid for the fixed-scope Discovery Setup. The listed fee includes payment-processing cost; there is no separate checkout surcharge.
-
Start condition
Discovery begins after payment, confirmation of scope, and receipt of the required offer, buyer, source materials, access, permissions, and decisions. Missing inputs pause the delivery clock.
-
Timing
Target delivery is within seven business days after complete intake and receipt of the agreed source materials.
-
Revisions
One bounded factual-correction round is included. A changed offer, additional buyer context, or new discovery objective is separately agreed.
-
Handoff
The Discovery Record, prioritized findings, structured-data gap register, and Semantic Publication Build handoff are supplied as the agreed working record. Acceptance is the delivery of that bounded record and the included factual-correction round.
-
Portal record
The engagement record is maintained in the client’s secure executive communication portal on a dedicated subdomain, including decisions, source materials, reports, revisions, and handoff materials.
-
Business results
The work delivers a Discovery Record and prioritized guidance. It does not guarantee rankings, citations, traffic, leads, conversion, revenue, or return on investment.
07 / Begin
Begin the Revenue Path Discovery Setup.
When the offer and buyer context are clear, begin with the prepaid Stripe checkout. Discovery Setup is a need-based engagement and may begin from equivalent evidence or a defined specification; completing every earlier Revenue Path offer is not required. The checkout opens in a new tab so this specification remains available.

What to have ready
The offer description or page, intended buyer context, relevant URLs or source materials, any available terminology, competitor, or market references, and the access, permissions, and decisions needed for the agreed review. The delivery clock begins when the required inputs are complete.
Relevant next decisions
The Discovery Record can support a separate Revenue Path Semantic Publication Build focused on answer-first content, entity consistency, structured data, and semantic internal links. Advisory Hours may also be purchased independently for a defined question, review, or bounded continuation.
