Method
How the free diagnostic works
Three separate layers
The questionnaire, the analysis, and the confidence statement are deliberately kept apart. Nothing you answer is scored back to you as a number.
Display logic
Decides which question you see next. It only depends on your earlier answers, for example, price-uncertainty questions appear only when your pricing is variable.
Diagnostic logic
Structured rules that compare your facts against each other to suggest a classification: material strength, material constraint, defensible, or requires investigation.
Confidence logic
Decides how strongly a finding may be stated, based on what your answers were grounded in. A finding built on assumption is never stated as fact.
Evaluation mode
Before analysing anything, the free diagnostic decides how your offer can be read at all. These modes are diagnostic implementation, not part of the Offer Physics framework. The canonical framework has four stages: Market of One, Imagine Value, Engineer Value, Capture Value. Evaluation mode simply records how substitutable your offer looks to buyers, which is a Market of One question.
- Direct read
- Your promise and evidence can be judged on their own terms, because buyers are not primarily comparing you point-for-point with a named alternative.
- Market-anchored
- Buyers evaluate you against a specific alternative. Findings are stated relative to that reference.
- Mixed
- Some parts are compared, others are not. Findings state which mode they belong to.
Evidence basis
Whenever you make a material claim, you also record what it is based on. This is the single most important input to confidence. A claim grounded in measured data is treated very differently from one grounded in judgment.
- Measured data
- Direct observation
- Customer interviews
- Sales history
- Customer outcome history
- Competitor research
- Case study or testimonial
- Anecdotal feedback
- Personal judgment
- Assumption
- Unknown

Limits
- This is a qualitative free diagnostic. It is not scientific, predictive, or a valuation.
- It contains no competitor data. Anything said about alternatives comes from what you described.
- It will not recommend stronger wording for a claim your product does not yet support. Those are reported as product-design boundaries instead.
- It does not tell you what to charge. Price findings concern structure, clarity and consistency with the promise.
