Your deliverable

The audit lands as a strategic proposal, not a slide deck

Every audit ships in the same nine-section format. Below is a sample built around a fictional brand (Lumen Botanicals). The structure is identical to what you would receive for your own brand.

Section 1 - Hero

Project title and opening read

The brand name, the project framing, and three paragraphs that name the issue clearly. Sets the commercial frame before any data.

Section 2 - Executive summary

Four paragraphs. The full read in 60 seconds.

What the audit found, how the problems connect, and what the recommended path is. Built to be circulated internally to a leadership team.

Section 3 - Diagnosis

Six named problems with the cost of each

Each diagnosed leak has a specific metric (ROAS, churn, AOV, repeat rate) and a one-paragraph commercial explanation. No generic 'best practice' filler.

Section 4 - System connection

How the leaks compound

A six-stage feedback loop showing why fixing one leak in isolation makes the others worse. The why-the-problem-is-systemic page.

Section 5 - Target outcomes

Six measurable targets, current vs target

The specific numbers we hold the engagement against. Each target is anchored to the current state so progress is unambiguous.

Section 6 - Engagement plan

Three stages. Cost and timing on each.

Stage 1 Efficiency Audit, Stage 2 90-day Implementation Sprint, Stage 3 Ongoing Optimisation. You see exactly how the engagement scales.

Section 7 - Workstreams

Five focused programmes of work

Each workstream has the issue it addresses, the approach we take, and the commercial outcome we hold against. The execution detail.

Section 8 - Roadmap

13 weeks. Four phases. Specific actions per week.

From diagnosis through fixing the biggest leaks, stabilising acquisition, and building owned-channel growth. Your team can execute against this directly.

Section 9 - Deliverables

10-12 concrete artefacts you actually receive

The audit produces real assets: lifecycle flows, landing pages, creative testing framework, SEO plan, optimisation roadmap. Not just recommendations.

Lumen Botanicals is a fictional brand created for this example. Real client outputs remain confidential.

Commercial & growth audit

Where is growth actually leaking?

Eight sections covering revenue, retention, community, conversion, content, operations, forecasting, and scale. Pick the closest answer to each question and you will receive a structured diagnosis of where momentum is being lost and what to focus on first.

Around 5 to 10 minutes, mostly multiple choice. Most questions include a Not sure option, so you are never forced to guess. Your answers are reviewed by Sophie and the Beauty 2.0 team, not an algorithm alone.
