Validate positioning, authority, and messaging strategy using Expert Secrets principles. Assess Attractive Character, Big Domino, and New Opportunity framing. Activates for "validate my positioning" or authority assessment.

Expert Validator - Expert Secrets Scorecard

Assess positioning, authority, and messaging against Expert Secrets principles. Expose weak positioning that makes people look like everyone else.

Brunson's Principle: "You don't need to be the most qualified—you need to be the most positioned."

When This Activates

  • User asks "validate my positioning"
  • User asks "is my messaging right"
  • User says "I sound like everyone else"
  • User asks "how do I build authority"
  • User asks "what's my angle"

The Framework

Attractive Character → Epiphany Bridge → Big Domino → New Opportunity

Scoring Dimensions

| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures | |-----------|--------|------------------| | Attractive Character | 2x | Is there a compelling persona/story? | | Origin Story | 1.5x | Is there a powerful epiphany bridge? | | Big Domino | 2x | Is there one core belief to shift? | | New Opportunity | 1.5x | Is it framed as new vs. improvement? | | Authority Signals | 1x | Are credentials/proof established? | | Differentiation | 1x | Do they stand out from competitors? |

Max Score: 100 points

Rating Scale

| Score | Rating | Verdict | |-------|--------|---------| | 85-100 | Expert Positioned | Refine and scale | | 70-84 | Good Foundation | Strengthen weak areas | | 55-69 | Needs Work | Clarify before scaling | | 40-54 | Commodity Zone | Major repositioning needed | | 0-39 | Invisible | Start from scratch |

Quick Reference

Attractive Character Types

| Type | Description | Example | |------|-------------|---------| | Leader | "Follow me, I'll show you" | Coaches, gurus | | Adventurer | "Join me on this journey" | Explorers, testers | | Reporter | "I researched this for you" | Curators, analysts | | Reluctant Hero | "I didn't want to, but..." | Accidental experts |

Big Domino Formula

"If I can get them to believe [ONE THING], then all other objections become irrelevant."

New Opportunity vs. Improvement

| Improvement (Weak) | New Opportunity (Strong) | |-------------------|-------------------------| | "Better marketing" | "A new way to get customers" | | "Faster results" | "A different approach entirely" | | "We're like X but better" | "Skip the old method" |

Integration

| Skill | When to Use | |-------|-------------| | expert-architect | Build positioning from scratch | | copy-validator | Validate positioning translates to copy | | offer-validator | Validate offer matches positioning |
