How we work

The Experience Optimization Framework, run as a loop.

Discover, Prioritize, Experiment, Personalize, Learn, Scale — a continuous loop where AI accelerates every stage and every result improves the next.

Monthly retainer engagement Works on your existing stack Measured against revenue
Compounding marketing performance over twelve months Two trajectories start from the same point. The one-off project rises a little then plateaus flat. The optimization system starts the same, then curves upward and accelerates. The shaded gap between them — the compounding advantage — widens every month.

  • The system — compounds every cycle
  • One-off project — a one-time bump, then flat
Same start, very different outcomes — performance compounds month over month. Illustrative.

The model

Why it’s a retainer, not a one-off.

A single audit gives you a list. A program gives you results. Experimentation only pays off when it runs continuously — each test informs the next, personalization sharpens as data accumulates, and the AI loop gets better the longer it learns from your customers.

You get an embedded partner on a monthly engagement — setting the roadmap with your team, running the work, and reporting against the metrics that move your revenue. You keep the institutional knowledge — and, when you’re ready, I help you build the internal team to own it.

A one-off audit

Findings that go stale the week after you read them.

An ongoing program

A compounding system that gets sharper every cycle.

The framework

The Experience Optimization Framework

Experience leads · AI accelerates · One iterative feedback loop

The Experience Optimization Framework flywheel Six stages turning clockwise — Discover, Prioritize, Experiment, Personalize, Learn, Scale — around a hub labeled Compounding performance, wrapped by an outer ring labeled Accelerate with AI. Experiment carries an AI premortem badge; Learn carries an AI post-mortem badge. ↻ ACCELERATE WITH AI Compounding performance every cycle makes the next smarter 01 02 03 04 05 06 Discover Prioritize Experiment Personalize Learn Scale ↻ AI premortem ↻ AI post-mortem
  1. 01Discover — Find where intent breaks down
  2. 02Prioritize — Rank by value, impact, effort
  3. 03Experiment — Test instead of assume ↻ AI premortem
  4. 04Personalize — Right experience, right visitor
  5. 05Learn — Every result becomes knowledge ↻ AI post-mortem
  6. 06Scale — Roll out what works

What each stage actually involves.

01

Discover

Connect the data; find where revenue breaks down.

03

Experiment

↺ AI premortem

Prove the fix on real users — starting with an AI premortem to predict failure.

05

Learn

↺ AI post-mortem

Every win, loss or flat feeds back (AI post-mortem).

02

Prioritize

Rank by likely impact and effort.

Ship the right experience to the right segment.

06

Scale

Roll out what works; compound it.

Every stage improves the next — nothing is isolated.

This loop runs across all seven capabilities: Conversion Optimization, Experimentation, Personalization, CDP & Data, AI Marketing Systems, Ecommerce Optimization, AI Search Optimization.

Your first 90 days

From audit to compounding system in a quarter.

Days 1–30

Find the opportunity

Instrument the funnel and run discovery — analytics, session replay, heuristics — then turn it into a prioritized, value-scored roadmap. The first experiments are scoped with an AI premortem.

Days 31–60

Ship the first wins

Build, QA, and launch the first tests and personalization on your live stack. The monthly cadence and revenue-based reporting are in place — you can see exactly what’s running and why.

Days 61–90

Compound it

Post-mortem what ran, feed the learnings back into discovery, and scale proven wins across segments. The system is now turning on its own rhythm — and getting sharper every cycle.

A good fit when
  • You already have meaningful traffic and a stack to work with.
  • You want a system that compounds, not a one-time bump.
  • Leadership will act on evidence, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Probably not yet if
  • You need a brand-new website built first — that’s a different job.
  • You’re looking for a quick tactical fix and then done.
  • Traffic is too low to reach significance on tests.

The proof

Common questions

Common questions about how we work.

Is this a retainer or a one-off audit?

A retainer. A single audit gives you a list; experimentation only compounds when it runs continuously — each test informs the next and personalization sharpens as data accumulates. It's an ongoing monthly engagement, not a one-time deck.

What happens in the first 90 days?

Days 1–30: instrument the funnel and turn discovery into a value-scored roadmap. Days 31–60: build, QA, and ship the first tests and personalization with monthly revenue-based reporting. Days 61–90: post-mortem, feed learnings back into Discover, and scale proven wins.

Do you replace our team or work with it?

We work as an extension of your team — senior strategy directing the work, specialists executing — and when you're ready we help you build the internal team to own it.

How is progress measured?

Against revenue, reported monthly — you see exactly what's running and why.
