Audit framework
Every analysis follows the same eight lenses, so organizations can be compared directly.
| # | Lens | What it examines |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Origin advantage | The founding insight, timing and early wedge that created momentum. |
| 2 | Positioning | The category claimed, the alternatives displaced and the proof used. |
| 3 | Acquisition engine | How attention is generated: product-led, sales-led, partner-led, brand or community. |
| 4 | Funnel audit | Each stage from first touch to purchase, with the friction removed and the offers used. |
| 5 | Monetization | Pricing model, packaging and how value per customer grows over time. |
| 6 | Retention and expansion | Switching costs, ecosystem effects and land-and-expand motions. |
| 7 | Operating architecture | How teams, data and systems are organized to run the engine at scale. |
| 8 | Transferable lessons | Specific techniques from the AlgoMags process library that apply to smaller organizations. |
For government agencies and global institutions, the acquisition lens covers recruitment, public communication and stakeholder engagement rather than sales.
