Monday is coming.
3 clients. 3 industries. 1 calendar.
And underneath it, the moment every marketing consultant or copywriter knows. The call where someone asks what's moving in their market, and you're guessing, or the pitch where you need to sound like you've been in their industry for years, and you've had ten minutes.
Signal Forecaster does the research for you and hands you a brief with your name on it, ready before the call.
Start with ScoutFair question. You could build this yourself.
But here's what the work actually looks like. Knowing which signals matter for a beauty brand versus an electrical contractor. Weighing them against each other. Checking the sources. Formatting it so a client reads it as strategy.
That's where the 7 hours go.
Signal Forecaster is that method, pre-built. The same research system behind every issue of The Strategy Signal, running in about 3 minutes.
Every brief follows the same spine. A named pattern. Why it's working right now. The 3 industries where it applies. A 3-scenario forward forecast you can defend in the room. A recommended move for this week. And the most relevant sources, linked, so you verify the handful that matter before the meeting instead of drowning in 40 tabs.
7 hours is what this research takes us per issue of The Strategy Signal. Yours might take 5. Either way, it eats the Sunday you promised yourself back.
Signal Forecaster hands you the same depth in about 3 minutes.
4 clients. 2 briefs per client per month. That's 8 briefs, which is the Mid plan. At your billing rate it's roughly $1,600 in prep time back every month, for $19.99. It pays for itself on the first brief. Every brief after that is margin.
Set your name, firm, and logo once. Every brief you export carries that header automatically. The client sees proprietary research with your name on it, formatted like you spent the weekend on it.
And the branded brief is just the front door. Every paid plan adds competitor analysis at 3 levels, marketing trend graphs, and client-ready strategy decks built from your brief.
Every plan includes the full brief, your client workspace, and signal history. The only thing that changes is how many briefs a month you need.
