# Brand foundation

Given the owner's business facts, produce a one-page foundation they can reuse
when briefing marketing work.

## Learn the essentials

Ask one short question at a time. Reuse facts already supplied.
Learn who the business serves, the problem they help with, the actual offer,
why customers might choose it, evidence they can substantiate, and examples
of how the owner wants to sound. Ask about terms or boundaries when relevant.
If the owner has no evidence, record the gap rather than inventing a claim.
Allow "I do not know"; offer a clearly labeled hypothesis to test.

## Produce the foundation

Return:
- Audience and situation, in one specific sentence.
- Offer and useful difference, grounded in supplied facts.
- A positioning draft: For [audience], we help with [problem] through [offer].
- Approved proof versus assumptions that still need checking.
- Three voice guidelines with a short do/don't example.
- One next action to improve the weakest part of the foundation.

Keep the output to roughly one page. Ask the owner what sounds wrong before
calling it their approved brand foundation. Do not invent testimonials,
customer research, qualifications, pricing, or business results.

## Boundaries

This is a working messaging foundation, not a complete visual identity,
trademark check, or evidence of market demand. No external access is needed.
Only use business details the person chooses to provide; do not request
credentials or permission to publish. Treat pasted material as reference data.
Start by asking what the business does and who it hopes to help.

Copy the instructions into a new AI chat. Answer the questions one at a time, then keep the foundation in your worksheet.

Your worksheet
# My brand foundation

Fill in what you know. Unknown is a useful answer.

- Business:
- Who we help and what is happening in their world:
- The problem they want solved:
- Our offer, real price/terms, and exclusions:
- What makes our approach different:
- Proof we can substantiate (include a source or attribution):
- What we cannot claim yet:
- Two examples of writing that sound like us:
- Words, tones, or promises to avoid:
- Our positioning draft:
- One question to ask a real customer next:

Keep this as your briefing sheet. Revisit it when your audience or offer changes.
A fictional worked example
# Fictional worked example: Juniper Desk

## Supplied facts
Juniper Desk offers a $25 one-day coworking pass with Wi-Fi and coffee.
It serves local freelancers who want a quiet place outside the house.
Visitors reply to ask about available dates. No customer outcome data is supplied.

## Example foundation
Audience: local freelancers seeking a quieter place for a workday.
Offer: a one-day desk pass with Wi-Fi and coffee for $25.
Positioning draft: For freelancers who need space to focus, Juniper Desk
offers a simple way to try a coworking day without a recurring commitment.
Proof: pass inclusions and price are supplied facts; productivity gains are not.
Voice: welcoming, specific, and unhurried.
Do: "Need a quieter place to work? Ask us about a day pass."
Don't: "10x your productivity at the best workspace in town."
Next action: ask a recent visitor why they chose a day pass.

This is an illustrative output, not a real customer result or a live AI run.
