Definition and worked example

See the method before entering your own evidence.

Who should use it: Test whether a stranger can restate what the company does, accurately, without the founder in the room.

Decision basis: The swap test redlines transparent generic phrases and competitor interchangeability; pressure mode records a response, proof, failure condition, and owner. The generic-language dictionary is published in the method code and is directional.

A versioned quotability test cards with visible reasoning, evidence status, next action, review date, and structured exports.

Does the result use a benchmark or AI?

No. The result uses the visible deterministic rules for this instrument and only the inputs you provide. It is not compared with other customers.

When does the paid work begin?

After the artifact. Petrichor helps the team challenge evidence, reconcile disagreement, assign ownership, and commit to the organizational decision without making you repeat the free work.

The method is versioned. No cross-customer benchmark is used. Review the full method and change history, the relevant plain-language answer, or the permanent Tool Trust Charter.
