Tests the story you are telling yourself about a struggling channel or campaign against the evidence, before you act on it.Every marketer has killed a channel or cut a price based on a story instead of a number. The story feels like insight, but it is usually one of four patterns: victim, catastrophe, fixed identity, or attribution, and each one distorts the decision in a predictable direction. This prompt catches which one is running and tests it against your actual evidence before you act.It starts by tying the story directly to the marketing decision it is influencing, then weights the audit by narrative type: where real agency is hidden, what the worst case actually costs, whether a pattern is real or one bad launch, and whether competitors really did this on purpose. The correction has to survive the same evidence test as the original story. If it cannot, it is not used.Built for the moment you are about to kill something in your marketing based on a feeling. You walk away with the accurate version of the story and the one number to check before you act on it, plus the ability to catch these four patterns yourself next time.
