Business

Visual, voice, and positioning brand audit that ends in a prioritized fix list ordered by impact. Infers the current brand archetype from real assets, audits each dimension separately, then merges findings into a ranked action plan the user can ship. Use when the user wants a structured, multi-step process to audit a brand across visual, voice, and positioning and walk away with prioritized fixes. Do NOT use for a one-off copy tweak or a single asset review that one atomic brand skill can answer without the full three-dimension audit.

Brand Audit

Estimated time: 20-30 minutes

This workflow audits a brand across three dimensions (visual, voice, and positioning), then prioritizes the fixes by impact so the user knows exactly what to change first. It is interactive: at two checkpoints the user can refine findings or priorities before shipping.

Steps

Step 1: Kickoff and Gather Assets (uses: market-brand)

Ask the user to point you at the assets to audit. Request: the homepage, the primary product page, the top 3 marketing assets (ads, one-pager, or pitch deck), and any brand guidelines document. Do not proceed until you have enough real material to audit. Never invent assets.

Input: user-supplied homepage URL, product page, top 3 marketing assets, brand guidelines doc
Output: collected asset set ready for audit
Key focus: get concrete, real assets before auditing anything

Step 2: Infer the Brand Archetype (uses: market-brand)

From the gathered assets, infer the brand archetype the assets currently project. State the inferred archetype plus your reasoning, then ask the user to confirm it or override it with the archetype they actually want to embody. The confirmed archetype becomes the yardstick for the visual and voice audits.

Input: collected assets from Step 1
Output: confirmed brand archetype (current vs. intended)
Key focus: surface the gap between the projected and intended archetype

Step 3: Visual Consistency Audit (uses: market-brand)

Audit visual consistency against the confirmed archetype: logo usage, color system, typography, imagery style, layout, and whether the visual system reads as one coherent brand across all assets. Show the findings to the user.

Input: collected assets, confirmed archetype
Output: visual audit findings with specific inconsistencies flagged
Key focus: does the visual system consistently signal the intended archetype

Step 4: Voice Consistency Audit (uses: market-brand)

Audit voice and tone consistency against the confirmed archetype: word choice, sentence rhythm, formality, point of view, and whether copy across assets sounds like one brand. Show the findings to the user.

Input: collected assets, confirmed archetype
Output: voice audit findings with specific inconsistencies flagged
Key focus: does the copy sound like one consistent brand voice

Step 5: Positioning Clarity Audit (uses: market-audit)

Audit positioning clarity: is it obvious what the brand is, who it is for, what it stands for and against, and why it is different. Flag vague, generic, or contradictory positioning across the assets. Show the findings to the user.

Input: collected assets
Output: positioning audit findings
Key focus: clarity and differentiation of the stated position

Step 6: Review Findings (uses: market-audit)

Present the combined visual, voice, and positioning findings. Ask the user whether they want to refine specific findings or proceed to the prioritized fix list. If they ask to refine, re-run the positioning audit with their feedback (at most two refinement passes) before continuing.

Input: visual, voice, and positioning findings; optional user refinement feedback
Output: confirmed or refined finding set, decision to proceed
Key focus: let the user correct any findings before prioritizing

Step 7: Prioritize Fixes (uses: market-audit)

Merge all findings into a single prioritized fix list, top items first by impact. Each fix should name the dimension, the problem, the recommended change, and why it ranks where it does. Show the list to the user.

Input: visual audit, voice audit, positioning audit findings
Output: impact-ranked fix list
Key focus: order by business impact, not by ease

Step 8: Final Review and Ship (uses: market-audit)

Present the prioritized fix list. Ask the user to ship the audit or adjust the priorities. If they want to adjust, re-rank with their feedback (at most two passes), then assemble the final Brand Audit document with sections for the inferred archetype, visual audit, voice audit, positioning audit, and prioritized fixes.

Input: prioritized fix list; optional priority-adjustment feedback
Output: final Brand Audit document
Key focus: ship a document the user can act on immediately
