Ten questions, two minutes. Get your 0 to 5 Machine Score across the five layers of a working marketing machine, and find out which layer to fix first.
Same rubric I use in the paid diagnostic. This version is self-reported and free. The paid Score measures the same five layers from your actual data, with evidence.
Layer 1 · Closed-loop reporting
Does the measurement tell the truth, and does the number drive the next action?
Layer 2 · The content and SEO pipeline
Does one piece of work become many, on a schedule, with a quality gate?
Layer 3 · Distribution
Do the right channels get fed, and does the feeding survive the platforms fighting back?
Layer 4 · The ops layer
Does the system decide what happens today, or does everything wait on a human to remember?
Layer 5 · The self-healing fleet
When something silently breaks, does anything notice?

Want the layer-by-layer breakdown?
I will send you what each of your five layer scores means, what to fix first, and what the fix usually looks like. Written by me, not a drip sequence.
Got it. Your breakdown lands in your inbox within one business day.
Where this goes next
This is exactly what the Machine Score diagnostic fixes. $1,000 books it, the balance only after your automation is running.
Self-report has a ceiling. The paid Score measures the same five layers from your actual data, hands you a ranked roadmap, and installs one working automation you keep either way.
A score this high is worth pressure-testing. If you want the evidence-based version of this number, the audit scores the same five layers from your real data, and you keep a working automation either way.
