Marketing Infrastructure Intelligence

Your clients' marketing systems fail quietly

…and no matter who built the stack, the questions come to you:

What fails quietly, who answers for it, and the consequence
A cookie banner no visitor ever sees The agency owner It becomes a legal question, then a retainer question
A contact form that drops enquiries The account director The client finds it before you do
Ads running with no conversion tag The performance lead The campaign takes the blame, then loses the budget
AI crawlers invited, then turned away The SEO lead The client asks why AI answers leave them out

Your dashboards won't show you this. Every month, they report what they were told to report.

Failures leave public traces. Our Diagnostic reads them from outside: nothing installed, no access to request.

Run a free Diagnostic

Because most of what you assume is working, isn't.

No credit card. No commitment. Five to ten minutes. The report is yours either way.

01

Find it

The Diagnostic scores all ten pillars of your marketing infrastructure and surfaces your blind spots.

02

Fix it

Automated action items and roadmaps turn your Diagnostic's findings into a tracked plan.

03

Run it

Re-runs, trends, and integrations keep it accountable — run by you or your agents.

You self-assess. We test it against the public evidence. The gap is your roadmap.

Where marketing systems fail quietly

Across ten pillars. Every failure below is one our Diagnostic reads from outside.

01 / Leaks

Attribution

  • Analytics still running on a Google tag retired in 2023 The charts still draw, but the property behind them stopped collecting. Every report, and every optimisation the ad platforms make, is working from a number nobody is writing any more.
  • Two tools counting the same thing, with nothing to say which is right They will disagree on the same week. Once your report and the client's dashboard differ, every performance conversation becomes an argument about the numbers.
  • Measurement that only works when the visitor runs JavaScript Ad blockers, privacy browsers and AI agents never run those tags, so their visits and purchases go uncounted. The channel that brought them looks like it did nothing.

02 / Waste

Tech-Stack

  • Two tools doing one job An agency, a contractor and a new hire each install a favourite, and removing the last one is nobody's job. The cost is a second tool to pay for and a second answer to reconcile.
  • No machine-readable file telling AI agents what the business does Agents fall back to guessing from the marketing page, and that guess shapes the answer the next buyer gets.
  • A mobile page slow to load and slow to respond, in lab tests Every tag added to a page is more script to download and run before the page responds. Tags pile up over the years, the page gets heavier, and visitors leave before it is usable.

03 / Friction

Conversion

  • A contact form that points at an address that answers nothing The page still says thank you, so nobody reports it. Lead volume falls and the campaign takes the blame.
  • A "contact form" that is really a mailto: link It hands the enquiry to whatever mail app the visitor's device opens, and for anyone who reads mail in a browser that is often an app they never set up. Nothing about it can be measured, routed or followed up.
  • Form fields labelled only by the grey hint text inside them The hint disappears as soon as someone types, so anyone who looks away and comes back cannot tell what the box was asking for, and a screen reader may not read it out at all.

04 / Risk

Trust & Security

  • DMARC, the email anti-spoofing policy, set to "monitor only" Mail that fails the check is still delivered, so anyone can send as the client's domain today. The policy only watches it happen.
  • A cookie banner built into the page that never shows itself It collects consent from no one. The site looks like it has a consent mechanism, and nobody notices, because the visitors it was built for never see it.
  • AI tools running on the site that no published policy names Which AI vendors touch visitor data is among the first things a procurement review asks, and nothing the client has published answers it.

05 / Voice

Brand

  • A copyright year that stopped updating The cheapest signal to a buyer, or to a machine summarising the business, that nobody is home.
  • Pages that read as if different companies wrote them A prospect experiences it as a business that does not know what it is.
  • Content that falls short of a plain editorial standard Thin or unattributed pages still rank and still load, so nothing looks broken. They are the pages buyers skim past.

Voice and content quality are judgements over what is published, not measurements.

06 / Landscape

Marketing

  • A blog that stopped publishing months ago A dormant channel tells every buyer, and every answer engine, that the business went quiet.
  • Two email or CRM tools where the team believes there is one A split contact list means the client's segments are wrong, and every campaign you report on was measured against an audience that exists in no one place.

Campaign performance lives inside tools we are not given access to. This pillar reads what is published.

07 / Spend

Advertising

  • Ads running on platforms the site has no conversion tag for Spend goes out and clicks arrive, but nothing tells the platform which of them became customers. Its optimisation is steering on noise.
  • Ad measurement that lives entirely in the browser Tracking prevention and ad blockers remove conversions before the platform sees them, so reported performance sits below real performance and the channel looks like it is failing.

08 / Market

Competitors

  • A competitor list of lookalikes, missing who buyers actually choose between The list a client keeps is usually the firms they meet at conferences. Plan against the wrong set and you never learn why the positioning did not land.
  • Substitutes taking the job, not just direct rivals Budget can go to a different way of solving the problem entirely, and a list of lookalikes never explains where those deals went.

We describe observable positioning. We do not claim to know a competitor's budget, roadmap or internal capability.

09 / Offer

Product

  • Prices only a human can find A price behind "contact us" or inside an image cannot be quoted by a search result, an AI assistant or an agent comparing options, so the offer drops off the shortlist before a person sees it.
  • Product markup missing the price, the currency or the availability The page ranks either way, so the loss is invisible: the rich result, or the assistant's comparison, goes to a competitor whose markup was complete.
  • A homepage with no single headline a machine can read as the offer An assistant summarising the business has to guess what it does, and that guess is what buyers are told.

10 / Organic

Discoverability

  • AI retrieval bots told to stay out by the site's own robots.txt A rule written when "bot" meant scraper now excludes the systems that assemble the answers buyers read. No dashboard shows it.
  • A server that turns away an AI crawler the site's own rules invite in The published rules say one thing and the server does another, so the business is absent from AI answers for a reason nobody chose.
  • Structured data never published, or published half-filled Structured data is how a page tells a machine what it is. Without it, the search result and the AI answer are both assembled from guesswork.

And the fix? In a report, each finding becomes an action item with a priority, a phase and a cost band. See a sample report →

Ready for agentic marketing?
…Is your infrastructure ready for marketing at all?

Agentic marketing scales every quiet failure

AI agents are already working inside your clients' stacks: ad platforms, CRMs and email tools all added autonomous optimisation, whether anyone deployed it or not. An agent optimising against silently broken tracking optimises toward the wrong outcome, faster.

01

Hourly, not quarterly

A person reallocates budget against bad attribution once a quarter. An agent does it every hour, with more conviction.

02

No workaround

A person hits a broken form and emails instead. An agent hits it, fails, and leaves.

03

The error becomes the baseline

Months of measurements taken through a broken pipe stop looking like an error. They look like normal.

The Intelligence Layer for your Marketing Stack

Execution, analytics and automation do the work. The intelligence layer sits above them to diagnose, orchestrate, verify and hold them accountable, and it extends upward as AI agents move into the stack.

How the layers work →See the platform →

INTELLIGENCE AUTOMATION ANALYTICS EXECUTION

Our Diagnostic is where that layer starts. The first run triages a stack. Every re-run monitors it and verifies the fixes landed.

That is the practice we advocate: governance as routine hygiene, for every client's stack, read from outside.

Every other report on the platform lands beside it, on the same shelf. See the reports →

Your Identity

Tell us about yourself

Results are based on publicly available signals. Accuracy is high for detectable elements; some findings will need context only you have.

Every report produces a MIDAS™ score

A 0–100 composite drawn from your 10 pillar scores, your perception gap, infrastructure coherence, and budget efficiency. Each business gets a unique fingerprint mark and lands in one of five tiers.

What lands in your inbox

A real report has six sections. The free run unlocks all ten pillar scores, the top blind spot in detail, the executive summary, and the verdict cards. Paid plans unlock the rest of each section in place — no re-scan needed.

01

Executive Summary

One-page narrative — where you stand, what to do first.

02

MIDAS Score

The composite + Galton fingerprint mark unique to your business.

03

Pillar Scoring

Ten pillars, scored independently. Perception vs reality, side by side.

04

Blind Spots

Pillars where what you think and what we detect disagree most.

05

Action Items

Prioritised list. You triage, mark in-progress, verify on re-run.

06

Detected Tech Stack

Every tool we found — Conventional and Agentic, classified.

The methodology is in the open

We publish what we measure and why — the ten pillars, the perception-gap mechanic, the MIDAS composite. We reserve the algorithmic specifics: weights, signal extraction, model prompts.

What happens after the Diagnostic

The Diagnostic produces action items, not a sales call. You triage them yourself first. Help is available when you decide you need it — not before.

01

Report lands with action items

A prioritised list of corrections per pillar. Each item tagged with severity and effort. You own the list from the moment it lands.

02

You triage and prioritise

Mark items as queued, in-progress, or dismissed. Items start as suggested — the Action Items workspace tracks status changes over time and surfaces them on re-run.

03

Implement what's clear

Most action items are small, technical fixes a competent operator can ship in an afternoon. Do those first. Tag what needs help.

04

Re-run to verify, or book help

Re-running shows what improved. If the remaining items need translation, the Strategic Assessment is a paid ~3hr engagement (1hr live session). Optional.

The intelligence layer, in practice

The disciplines of infrastructure management

The intelligence layer isn't a dashboard — it's a practice. Six continuous disciplines, run by you or by your agents.

Verify configuration
Design the systems beneath
Diagnose all ten pillars
Orchestrate tools and agents
Translate findings into action
Govern every action

If your Diagnostic surfaces 30+ action items, you don't need another tool.
You need translation.

Plans give you the platform. Services give you a human with domain expertise to walk the findings, sequence the work, and tell you which item to do first.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Diagnostic really free?

Yes. The 10-pillar automated analysis is free with no credit card required. You'll get scores across all ten pillars, your single most critical blind spot in full detail, an executive summary, and infrastructure verdict cards. Paid plans unlock the rest of the report — every blind spot, market intelligence, the full budget breakdown, action items, and PDF export — but the underlying analysis is the same.

Open full answer →
How long does the Diagnostic take to run?

Five to ten minutes end to end. The self-assessment takes about a minute. When you submit, the system kicks off the analysis and asks you to verify your email — the analysis runs in the background while you verify. The report lands once both finish. Time has grown from earlier versions as we added more signal providers and more complex prompting.

Open full answer →
Do I need to give you access to my systems?

No. The Diagnostic operates entirely from public signals — your website, social profiles, DNS records, sitemap, robots.txt, what AI systems can find about you. No analytics logins, no ad account access, no CRM credentials. The Diagnostic requires nothing more than a URL.

Open full answer →
What's the difference between the Diagnostic and the Strategic Assessment?

The Diagnostic is the automated 10-pillar analysis — free, machine-run, five to ten minutes. It tells you what the system measured. The Strategic Assessment ($300 USD, ~3hr engagement: pre-research, 1hr live session, follow-up) is the human translation layer on top — we walk through findings together, explain what each result means for your specific business, and build a prioritised action plan.

Open full answer →
Who is the Diagnostic for?

Anyone responsible for, or adjacent to, marketing infrastructure that has grown beyond what one person can hold in their head. Clearest fits: founders, CMOs, marketing operations leads, CTOs and CIOs whose teams own the stack, IT security responsible for the trust posture, and agencies running diagnostics on prospects or clients as part of discovery or quarterly review. The Diagnostic works on any business with a public URL.

Open full answer →
How do I know if my infrastructure is ready for agentic marketing?

AI agents are already operating in your stack — your ad platforms, CRM, and email tools add autonomous automation whether you deployed it or not. 'Agentic readiness' is whether agents can reliably discover you, act through your funnel, convert, and be observed — a cross-pillar property the Diagnostic scores under the Tech Stack, Discoverability, Conversion, and Trust & Security pillars (Tech Stack carries an explicit agentic-readiness sub-score). But the deeper test is trust: an agent optimising against silently-broken tracking just scales the mistake faster, so readiness also depends on whether the infrastructure underneath is accurate enough to act on. The report surfaces both.
