Glossary

What the numbered words mean.

Every numbered word in the chart above, in plain English — and where to read more — including the five roles and how much of the work is still yours.

1Lead machine
The four-level software lane that fills your calendar. Each level does everything the one before it does, plus one more job.
See it on the catalog →
2Level 1 · Catch
Puts a free tool on your site people actually play — a grader, a quiz, a scorecard. The second someone touches it they are caught: logged, texted back, offered a slot.
See it on the catalog →
3Level 2 · Wow
Everything in Catch, plus an instant personalized result — a number, a grade, a plan — so trust is built before a human ever speaks.
See it on the catalog →
4Level 3 · Win
Everything in Wow, plus the first payment taken on the result screen. Checkout or a booked call, without a conversation.
See it on the catalog →
5Level 4 · Scale
The flagship. Everything in Win, plus the machine running delivery itself and budget following whatever the numbers prove.
See it on the catalog →
6Core build
The three-tier lane that runs everything after the sale — scheduling, onboarding, reporting, invoicing, client portals. Scope fixed in writing before work starts, and you own the code.
See it on the catalog →
7Foundation
One department, end to end. Your single most important workflow — mapped, digitized, and running without you.
See it on the catalog →
8Operations
Sales, delivery and ops connected in one system. Leads in one end, finished work out the other, on one record.
See it on the catalog →
9Enterprise
The entire business in software. Every process, client portals, and your team trained through the system itself.
See it on the catalog →
10Maintenance plan
The monthly plan after your build. Custom software is not a one-time purchase — platforms change, things break, and the machine runs on services that cost money.
See it on the catalog →
11Essential
Hosting, monitoring, fixes, patches and small edits. The machine stays alive. No per-lead fee.
See it on the catalog →
12Performance
Everything in Essential, plus real ad spend inside the fee, new pages and flows, and the testing to prove them.
See it on the catalog →
13Partner
The most ad spend of any level, priority turnaround, and optionally a person on the phone working your leads.
See it on the catalog →
14Unique mechanism
The named, ownable way your business gets results — stated clearly enough a stranger could repeat it back. It is what stops you being shopped on price.
15Pipeline
Every lead you have ever caught, with its grade and its next step, on one board that belongs to you.
16Playbooks
Written procedures for how your business runs — so someone you hire operates the machine by reading, not by asking you.
17Discussed on call
Build pricing depends on what we are building, so it is set together on the call — and put in writing before anything starts.
See it on the catalog →
18DoerLevels 00–02
Manual effort 5/5
Every task is in your hands. You are the marketing, the selling, the delivery and the follow-up, and nothing happens unless you personally do it.
To reach the next roleGet findable and believable. Register the domain, build a real site, and name your unique mechanism — then put a catch tool on it so strangers can reach you without you chasing them.
19SellerLevels 03–04
Manual effort 4/5
Leads now arrive on their own, but you close every one personally. Your calendar is full of conversations only you can have.
To reach the next roleStop being the checkout. Craft the offer, price it, and put booking and payment on the result screen so the machine can take money without a conversation.
20ManagerLevels 05–06
Manual effort 3/5
You have a play that works and you run it by hand — chasing the pipeline weekly, remembering who to follow up with, deciding each week what to spend.
To reach the next roleTake it off your memory. Build follow-up that fires itself — welcomes, reminders, receipts — and let the numbers, not your mood, choose the traffic.
21OperatorLevels 07–08
Manual effort 2/5
The systems run without your hands, but you are still the one operating them. Sales, delivery and support work together, and you are the person who knows how.
To reach the next roleGet it out of your head and onto paper. Write the playbooks, hire against them, and delegate the machine so someone else can run it by reading.
22Owner Levels 09–10
Manual effort 1/5
The business produces without you. Your work is no longer inside it — you own an asset that operates whether or not you show up.
What the work becomesNothing above this rung is operational. The work becomes compounding the brand — audience, reputation, and owning the category people already come to you for.
