Our Approach

We Start with Evidence. Not Assumptions.

Most businesses invest in marketing before identifying the real problem. We reverse that.

Instead of guessing whether you need SEO, advertising, CRO, automation, or development, we investigate your business, identify the primary constraint, and build a prioritized roadmap based on evidence.

The result is clarity: a clear picture of what's holding you back and exactly what to do about it. Delivered in 5 business days and walked through on a 30-minute call.

The Assessment

Built Around One Answer

Not a list of everything that could be better. The one thing that, if fixed, would create the most impact.

Who It's For

Manufacturers and product brands doing $2M to $20M in annual DTC revenue.

  • Stores on BigCommerce, Shopify, or WordPress
  • Businesses already generating revenue but feeling stuck
  • Owners investing in marketing without confidence in the return

The Problem

Businesses rarely suffer from ten problems. They usually have one major constraint preventing growth.

Throwing more advertising or redesigning a website often treats the symptom instead of the cause.

We find the cause.

What We Investigate

We analyze five pillars of your business:

Every recommendation is backed by data from your actual business, not industry averages.

What You Receive

A written report delivered in 5 business days and walked through on a 30-minute call, including:

  • Executive Summary
  • Primary Bottleneck
  • Evidence
  • Priority Roadmap
  • Recommended Spark Project
  • Estimated Business Impact
The Process

A Clear Path Forward

From diagnosis to execution. Every step is deliberate.

1Step One

Clarity Assessment

5 business days

We investigate your business using analytics, customer experience, technical review, and business systems. All five pillars.

2Step Two

One Bottleneck

We identify the single highest-impact constraint limiting growth. Every recommendation is supported by evidence and prioritized by business impact.

3Step Three

Spark⟢

Over the next 90 days we solve that bottleneck for a fixed $6,000 scope, with your $750 assessment fee credited toward it. After Spark, clients can continue into an ongoing Growth Plan if desired.

What You Walk Away With

The Right Place to Invest in Your Next Stage of Growth

Not a document. Not a checklist. An unbiased expert read on your business, built from the same patterns we have seen across manufacturers and product brands at every stage, that tells you exactly where your next dollar and hour should go.

  1. 01

    Historical

    What your own data says. We trace revenue, traffic, and customer behavior back through your history to see what actually changed and when.

  2. 02

    Competitive

    Where you stand in your market. How your pricing, visibility, and positioning compare to the competitors taking your customers.

  3. 03

    Gaps

    What is leaking money right now. The broken tracking, friction points, and blind spots that quietly drain revenue every month.

  4. 04

    Opportunity

    The single highest-impact move available to you. Validated against your numbers, not our opinion of what we would like to sell you.

  5. 05

    Priority Roadmap

    The order of operations to capture it. What to do first, what to ignore, and what it should return, whether you execute with us or without us.

An expert eCommerce agency who has diagnosed and found a validated answer: this is the bottleneck, and this is the right move.

Fair Questions

The two questions every owner asks first

Why pay for an assessment before I know if you are the right fit?

Because the assessment is a real deliverable, not a sales pitch. You get a roadmap you can act on with or without us, and the full $750 is credited toward Spark⟢ if you continue. There is no sunk cost and no agency relationship required to get value from it.

Why fixed scope instead of ongoing help?

Open-ended retainers hide the fact that most agencies do not know what is actually broken. A fixed scope forces clarity up front: one constraint, 90 days, $6,000, and a defined outcome.

A Clarity Assessment is a $750 diagnostic from Brod Solutions that identifies the single biggest revenue bottleneck in a DTC eCommerce business. In 5 business days you get an executive report with the supporting evidence, prioritized opportunities, and a practical roadmap to fix the constraint.

The Clarity Assessment costs $750 and takes 5 business days. The full $750 is credited toward a Spark engagement if you decide to continue.

Manufacturers and product brands doing $2M to $20M in annual DTC revenue on BigCommerce, Shopify, or WordPress. It is not built for enterprise brands, agencies, or pre-revenue stores.

Five areas: sales, traffic, conversion, customer growth, and measurement. The work includes a business review, customer journey analysis, technical review, tracking validation, search visibility review, and conversion review, delivered as an executive summary with a priority roadmap.

Most clients continue into Spark, a $6,000 fixed-scope engagement that fixes the identified constraint in 90 days. The roadmap is yours either way. You can run it with your own team or another partner.
