Reviewer: Sloane (Producer) Date: 2026-05-29 Source: workshop-presentation.html Checked against: voice.md, workshop-sales-page.md Status: Complete

Review Criteria

1. Voice compliance (direct, pattern-revealing, grounded)
2. Maturity framing accuracy (Level 2→3 jump, not Level 1)
3. Verbal clarity (spoken aloud on Zoom, not marketing copy)
4. Consistency with sales page messaging

Slide 10 — "Why It Matters" (Skills vs. Systems)

Issue: Maturity framing is implicit when it should be explicit.

The comparison (Running Skills Individually vs. Wiring Skills Into a System) IS the Level 2→3 distinction — but it never names those levels. The audience just experienced the jump. This is where you name it so they can place themselves on the map. Without the level labels, the comparison floats — it's insight without a framework to anchor it.

Current copy:

Eyebrow: "The Difference"

Headline: "Skills vs. Systems"

Body: "Most people run AI skills one at a time. That's a start. But it's not a system."

Left column header: "Running Skills Individually" Left column items:

• Copy output from one tool
• Paste into the next
• Decide what to do with each result
• You're the router

Right column header: "Wiring Skills Into a System" Right column items:

• One input, three outputs
• Each step feeds the next
• The system makes the decisions
• You review, not route

Closing quote: "That's the jump. From doing the work to reviewing the work."

Recommended revision:

Eyebrow: "The Difference"

Headline: "You just made the jump from Level 2 to Level 3."

Body: "Most people run AI skills one at a time. That's Level 2 — Streamline. Useful, but you're still the router. What you just built is Level 3 — Delegate. The skills are wired together. You review the output instead of producing it."

Left column header: "Level 2: Streamline" Left column items:

• Run one skill at a time
• Copy output, paste into the next
• You decide what to do with each result
• You're the router

Right column header: "Level 3: Delegate" Right column items:

• One input, three outputs
• Each step feeds the next
• The system makes the decisions
• You review, not route

Closing quote: "That's the jump. From routing the work to reviewing the work."

Why: The audience needs to see where they were (Level 2) and where they just arrived (Level 3). Naming the levels makes it concrete and gives them language to describe what they built. Also sets up the membership pitch — "there are four levels, you just hit three, and there are eight more systems to build."

The closing quote change from "doing" to "routing" is sharper — "doing the work" is vague. "Routing the work" names what Level 2 actually feels like (you're the connector between tools).

Slide 11 — "Three Levels" (Maturity Model)

Issue: Maturity framing is wrong. This is the critical fix.

The slide currently shows three levels with Level 1 (Structure) badged as "Today." That's incorrect. The workshop builds a Level 3 piece. Level 1 is documenting how you do things. Level 2 is running individual skills. Level 3 is wiring skills into a system. The attendees just did Level 3.

Additionally, the slide only shows 3 levels when the maturity model has 4 (Structure → Streamline → Delegate → Autonomous). The fourth level matters for the membership pitch — it's the horizon.

Current copy:

Eyebrow: "The Path Forward"

Headline: "Each system deepens through three levels."

Body: "Today you built the first layer. The membership takes each piece deeper."

Card 1 (badge: "Today"):

• Level tag: "Level 1"
• Title: "Structure"
• Body: "Get it out of your head. Make it repeatable. That's what we built today."

Card 2:

• Level tag: "Level 2"
• Title: "Streamline"
• Body: "AI handles the repetitive parts. Same output, fraction of the time."

Card 3:

• Level tag: "Level 3"
• Title: "Delegate"
• Body: "AI does the heavy lifting end to end. You review, not produce."

Footer: "Nine systems × three levels = the full build path."

Recommended revision:

Eyebrow: "The Path Forward"

Headline: "Each system deepens through four levels."

Body: "Today you built Level 3 of one system. The membership builds the rest."

Card 1:

• Level tag: "Level 1"
• Title: "Structure"
• Body: "Document how you do it. Make it repeatable. Manual but consistent."

Card 2:

• Level tag: "Level 2"
• Title: "Streamline"
• Body: "Build a skill so you don't start from scratch. Run it, get output."

Card 3 (badge: "Today"):

• Level tag: "Level 3"
• Title: "Delegate"
• Body: "Wire skills into a system. One input, multiple outputs. That's what you just built."

Card 4 (new card — add to grid):

• Level tag: "Level 4"
• Title: "Autonomous"
• Body: "The system runs itself. You get results, not requests."

Footer: "Nine systems × four levels = the full build path."

Why: This is the most important fix in the deck. The current framing tells people they built Level 1 when they actually built Level 3. That undersells what they accomplished and misstates the maturity model. Correctly badging Level 3 as "Today" does two things: (1) makes them feel the real weight of what they did — they didn't just organize their pipeline, they built a delegated system; and (2) opens the membership pitch naturally — "you hit Level 3 in one system, now imagine doing that across all nine."

CSS note: The maturity-grid currently uses grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr). This needs to change to repeat(4, 1fr) to accommodate the fourth card. Mobile breakpoint already collapses to 1fr, so no change needed there.

Slide 2 — "The Three Problems"

Issue: Minor — card 1 wording is softer than sales page equivalent.

Current copy (problem card 1): "You don't have a way to generate leads that turn into clients on a regular basis."

Sales page equivalent: "You don't have a way to generate leads that turn into clients on a regular basis."

Verdict: These match. No change needed.

Current copy (closing quote): "You need all three working to have a business. Today we're building one piece of the first."

Verdict: Clean. No change needed.

Slide 4 — "Today's Focus"

Issue: Minor verbal clarity improvement.

Current copy:

Headline: "Three skills. One system."

Body: "Not running three tools separately. Wiring them into something that feeds itself."

Footer: "Each step feeds the next. That's what makes it a system, not three prompts."

Recommended revision:

Body: "Not running three tools separately. Wiring them into one workflow where each step feeds the next."

Footer: "That's what makes it a system — not three prompts you run separately."

Why: "Something that feeds itself" is slightly abstract for spoken delivery. "One workflow where each step feeds the next" is more concrete and easier to say aloud. The footer revision tightens the contrast by adding "you run separately" — which names the Level 2 behavior they're leaving behind.

Slide 9 — "What You Just Built"

Issue: Minor — closing quote doesn't name the level jump.

Current copy (closing quote): "That's The 90-Second Pipeline™ — three skills wired together. The first piece of WIN."

Recommended revision: "That's The 90-Second Pipeline™ — three skills wired into one system. The first piece of WIN, at Level 3."

Why: By the time you hit this slide, the audience has the output on screen. This is the moment to name what they did in maturity terms — it plants the seed before Slide 10 makes the comparison explicit. "Wired together" → "wired into one system" is also slightly more precise for spoken delivery.

Slide 12 — "The Offer"

Issue: Sales page says "$27/mo for people who join workshop day." Deck says "$27/mo" but doesn't mention it's the workshop-day rate.

Current copy: Price: "$27/mo" Price note: "Locked for life. Every week you wait, the price goes up $10/mo."

Recommended revision: Price note: "Workshop-day rate. Locked for life. Goes up $10/mo every week after today."

Why: "Every week you wait" works in writing but sounds slightly passive-aggressive spoken aloud. "Goes up $10/mo every week after today" states the fact without the implied judgment. Adding "Workshop-day rate" ties it back to the room — you're here, this is yours.

Slide 1 — Title

Verdict: No changes needed. Clean, concrete, matches sales page headline exactly.

Slide 3 — WIN / DELIVER / GROW

Issue: Minor inconsistency with sales page.

Current copy (body): "Nine systems. Three domains. Each one deepens through three levels."

Recommended revision: "Nine systems. Three domains. Each one deepens through four levels."

Why: Matches the corrected maturity model (four levels, not three). This also aligns with the corrected Slide 11. If you say "three levels" here and then show four levels later, the audience will notice.

Slide 5, 6, 7, 8 — Build Steps

Verdict: No changes needed. These are clean, concrete, and well-matched to the sales page. The step descriptions are written for spoken delivery — short, specific, action-oriented.

Slide 13 — Close

Verdict: No changes needed. Short, clean, lands.

Slides With No Issues

• Slide 1 (Title) — Matches sales page, speaks well
• Slide 2 (Three Problems) — Matches sales page, good problem framing
• Slide 5 (Step 1 — Load) — Concrete, action-oriented
• Slide 6 (Step 2 — Pipeline Review) — Good spoken copy
• Slide 7 (Step 3 — Follow-Up) — Matches sales page flow
• Slide 8 (Step 4 — Referral Asks) — Good spoken copy
• Slide 13 (Close) — Clean

Voice Compliance Notes

• No banned words found (no leverage, synergy, coaching, mindset, crush it, game-changer, journey, transformation, revolutionary, groundbreaking)
• "Silent" / "quiet" not used (good — these are flagged as AI slop)
• Vocabulary is on-brand: "build," "system," "wired," "installed," "deploy"
• Tone is direct without being pushy — reads as calm authority
• The offer section avoids sales pressure ("What you built today is yours. The membership is for people who want to keep building." — this is excellent)
