The C3 Diagnostic

Two-week turnaround. One engagement that covers everything.

$3,500

We build a verified Fact File for your company, map the complete buyer research universe for your category, audit whether you have substantive content for every topic buyers research, benchmark against your competitors, and evaluate your site for AI-referred visitors. The diagnostic covers three layers: Clarity, Coverage, and Conversion. You get a prioritized remediation roadmap, not a list of generic recommendations.

Clarity

We build a verified Fact File documenting what's true, what's unverifiable, and where your own materials contradict each other. Then we score your information infrastructure across seven factors: Context, Accuracy, Consistency, Specificity, Recency, Machine Readability, and Hallucination Risk. This is the foundation. Without it, every other finding is a guess.

Coverage

We map the complete buyer research universe for your category: every topic and subtopic a buyer would research. Then we audit your website against this topic map, benchmarking where you have substantive, citable content and where you don't. Includes competitive benchmarking against two competitors using the same map.

Conversion

We evaluate your site against the five criteria that determine whether AI-referred visitors convert: Intent Match, Proof, Validation Speed, Friction, and Decision Confidence. Then we map the Context Gaps between what AI tells buyers about you and what your site actually delivers.

You get:

✓Verified Fact File
✓Evidence strength distribution across your site
✓Clarity scoring with factor-by-factor breakdown
✓Coverage Strength score with topic-by-topic breakdown
✓Competitive coverage benchmarking (up to 2 competitors)
✓AI Comprehension Check (what AI understands after reading your site)
✓Content gap analysis with prioritized roadmap
✓Topic coverage heat map by category
✓Conversion readiness score across six dimensions
✓Context Gap inventory organized by visitor intent
✓Prioritized remediation roadmap
✓Executive summary for leadership

This replaces the discovery phase most consultancies bury inside a retainer. You see everything before committing to anything downstream.

Start the diagnostic

Fill out the form below and we'll get started. We keep the intake light because most of what we need is on your site already. If we need more detail, we'll ask during the project.

After the Diagnostic

What comes next

The diagnostic produces a roadmap. These are the ways we help you execute on it.

C3 Monitoring

$2,000/mo

Quarterly re-runs of the coverage audit across your topic map. You get delta reports showing whether your Coverage Strength is improving, competitors are gaining ground, or new gaps have appeared.

Includes:

  • • Quarterly coverage re-audits
  • • Delta reports with trend analysis
  • • Gap monitoring
  • • Competitor coverage tracking

Implementation Retainer

$5,000/mo

We execute the roadmap the diagnostic produced, with monthly measurement so you see the numbers move. Scope varies based on what we found, so retainers are scoped to the work rather than packaged into tiers.

Includes:

  • • Monthly measurement cycles
  • • Remediation execution
  • • Intercept page creation
  • • Structured data implementation

Annual Re-Audit

$3,500/yr

For companies that completed the diagnostic but aren't ready for a retainer. A full re-run of the diagnostic plus a delta report showing exactly what changed since the last assessment.

Includes:

  • • Full diagnostic re-run
  • • Delta report vs. previous audit
  • • Updated remediation priorities
  • • New gap identification

Strategic advisory is also available at $4,000/mo for companies that want ongoing access to CKI Labs without a project-based engagement. No minimum commitment.
