Louis and Edouard ran outbound at Pigment from $0.7M to $100M+ ARR. We still run this for a living, which is why the score is not a take.

The 7 pillars

An engine breaks in 7 places.

Tools rotate every 18 months. These do not. Each pillar is scored out of 10, and the 3 you score worst on become your first 3 fixes.

Nobody draws their engine, so nobody sees where it breaks. Every arrow above is a handover, and a handover is where reply rate quietly goes.

How the Diagnostic runs

Answer 15 questions

One question per screen, 4 options, single tap. “We don’t do this yet” and “I don’t know” are honest answers, and they score better than a flattering guess.

We grade the engine

About 10 seconds, with the work named as it happens. Your answers are scored pillar by pillar against the playbook we ran at Pigment.

You get a verdict

An Engine Score out of 100, all 7 pillars scored, and the first 3 fixes with a 30-day plan in the order to do them.

What you get

A number for your engine, and 7 pillar scores beside it.
The first 3 fixes, named, in the order to do them.
A 30-day plan by email, and a link you can forward.

What you never get

No hooks, no “agree?”, no course funnel behind the score.
No sponsor deciding which tool we praise this fortnight.
No sales call dressed as an audit. The verdict is the product.
