Fixed Scope. 4-6 Weeks. Evidence-Led.

The ACTRISE
AI Product Discovery Sprint

A focused 4-6 week engagement to measure how your products appear in AI-powered buying journeys, identify evidence-backed gaps, implement agreed improvements and re-measure observed changes.

Approved scope: one priority category or use case, up to 3 products, 12 controlled buyer queries, across 3 AI platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

The Engagement Scope

12 Queries, 3 AI Platforms, 3 Products, 3 Competitors

The Sprint has a fixed, transparent boundary so you know exactly what you are buying before you commit. Every engagement is scoped to this structure, agreed with you before measurement begins.

01
1 Priority Category One category or use case, chosen with you at kickoff, so every query reflects real purchase intent in your space.
02
Up to 3 Selected Products The products that matter most to your growth goals, measured across the full measure-diagnose-implement-re-measure cycle.
03
12 Controlled Buyer Queries Built around real purchase intent in your category. The exact queries we test are documented in the Priority Query Map deliverable.
04
3 AI Platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity Tested under the same controlled conditions for your brand and your competitors, so the comparison is consistent and fair.
05
Up to 36 Baseline Observations 12 queries multiplied across 3 platforms. Every observation is captured verbatim and timestamped, not paraphrased from memory.
06
Up to 3 Competitor Brands Measured against the same queries under identical conditions, so you see the gap between your representation and theirs clearly.
07
Up to 5 Agreed Implementation Actions Subject to access and feasibility confirmed with you at scope sign-off, not assumed at the start and revealed at the end.
08
One Controlled Re-measurement Cycle The same queries, the same platforms, the same conditions, run after implementation to document what moved and what remains uncertain.

Eight Deliverables

From Priority Query Map to Re-measurement Report

Every Sprint produces a documented, reviewable paper trail. Nothing is verbal-only. You receive each deliverable as the engagement progresses, so you can see the evidence behind every recommendation before the next stage begins.

D01

Priority Query Map

The exact buyer queries we test and why they matter to your category. Built before measurement begins so you can review and agree the test set.

D02

AI Product Discovery Baseline

What ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity actually return today, verbatim and timestamped, for each of the agreed buyer queries.

D03

Competitive AI Discovery Comparison

How your products are represented against up to 3 competitor brands, measured under identical conditions across the same query set.

D04

Diagnostic Findings

Where the gaps are and what is likely driving them. Every finding is tied to an observation in the baseline, not offered as opinion.

D05

Prioritized Action Plan

Ranked by relevance and feasibility, not promised outcomes. You receive the logic behind each ranking so you can evaluate it on its own terms.

D06

Implementation Pack and Change Log

The agreed changes we make and when. Every action is documented before and after so you have a clear record of what was done.

D07

Re-measurement Report

What changed after implementation and what remains uncertain. An honest account, with the same methodology, against the same query set.

D08

Executive Summary

A plain-language brief for founders and leadership that distills the baseline, the actions taken, and the re-measurement findings into one readable document.

Founding-Client Terms

Pricing Confirmed on a Qualified Discovery Call

ACTRISE is currently onboarding a small founding cohort of clients onto the Sprint. Founding-client terms include a fixed engagement fee, structured to protect both sides of the engagement.

Founding Cohort - Limited Places

Fixed Engagement Fee. Split Into Two Payments.

Because pricing depends on your category, product count and access requirements, we confirm exact terms on a qualified discovery call rather than publishing a one-size-fits-all number. This also lets us walk you through what is and is not included before you commit to anything.

You will know the full fee, the payment structure and the scope boundaries before you sign anything. No surprises partway through.

Payment 1
Upfront payment at engagement start, covering baseline measurement and diagnostic deliverables.
Payment 2
Milestone payment at implementation sign-off, before re-measurement begins, defined in the final scope of work.

Before You Commit

What We Need From You, and What This Engagement Does Not Promise

The Sprint works best when it runs on accurate inputs and clear access. In return, we are direct about what evidence-led measurement can and cannot deliver.

What We Need From You

  • Accurate product facts, claims and specifications for the products in scope
  • Timely answers to clarifying questions during the diagnostic phase
  • Website or content access where implementation changes require it
  • One nominated point of contact for approvals and stage-gate sign-off
  • Your sign-off at each stage gate before we move to implementation, so changes are agreed before they are made

What This Engagement Does Not Promise

  • Guaranteed placement, citation or recommendation in AI platform outputs
  • Guaranteed search rankings, organic traffic, leads, revenue or ROI
  • Control over how ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity generate their outputs, which vary by design and by query
  • Fabricated or extrapolated client outcome data to justify the engagement

Scope Boundary

Any additional category, product, query, platform or implementation action beyond the agreed scope is a separately scoped addition, discussed and priced before work begins. The Sprint boundary is what makes the engagement manageable and the findings legible.

FAQ

Questions About the Sprint

What brands typically ask before a scoping conversation.

How many products and queries are covered?
Up to 3 selected products, 12 controlled buyer queries across 3 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity), yielding up to 36 baseline observations, and up to 3 competitor brands measured against the same queries under the same conditions.
How long does the Sprint take?
The engagement runs 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to final re-measurement report. The timeline depends on your category, access requirements and how quickly your team can provide sign-off at each stage gate. We agree the milestone schedule before measurement begins.
How is pricing structured and why is it not published?
Pricing depends on your category, product count and access requirements. Because these vary meaningfully across brands, ACTRISE confirms exact terms on a qualified discovery call. Founding-client terms include a fixed engagement fee split between an upfront payment and a milestone payment defined in the final scope of work. You know the full fee before signing anything.
What does ACTRISE need from us to run the Sprint?
Accurate product facts, timely answers to clarifying questions, website or content access where relevant, one nominated point of contact for approvals, and sign-off at each stage gate before implementation begins. The engagement cannot proceed to implementation without your explicit approval at the prior stage.
Does the Sprint guarantee any placement or sales results?
No. The Sprint does not guarantee placement, citation, search ranking, traffic, leads, revenue or ROI. It does not promise to control how AI platforms generate their outputs, which vary by design. It guarantees a documented, evidence-led process with full transparency on methodology and uncertainty at every step.
What happens if AI platforms change during the engagement?
AI platform behaviour can change between the baseline measurement and the re-measurement cycle. We document the date and conditions of every observation, so any platform-level shifts are visible in the record. Where a significant platform change occurs, we note it explicitly in the Re-measurement Report rather than attributing the change to implementation actions.
Can the Sprint scope be expanded once it has started?
Any additional category, product, query, platform or implementation action beyond the agreed scope is a separately scoped addition. It is discussed and priced before work begins on the addition, not folded into the original engagement fee. This keeps the original Sprint manageable and the findings legible.
