Start With One Decision
The report is scoped around a decision, not a service menu.
Examples:
- Can the right allocator find and understand an asset-management strategy?
- Can an accounting-firm prospect understand the niche and Client Advisory Services offer?
- Does a fintech acquisition promise continue through eligibility, KYC/KYB explanation, onboarding, and activation?
- Does a mortgage campaign preserve product, audience, claim, form, and routing continuity?
- Can a private-equity visitor distinguish the firm, fund, and portfolio-company path?
- Can a wealth-management prospect verify trust and take a qualified next step?
AAYT confirms the review scope within 24 hours. If public evidence cannot support a useful review, the scope should be narrowed before work begins.
Which Inputs Can the Report Use?
Public information
- Search results and public advertisements
- Website pages, forms, calls to action, and confirmation states
- Public company, team, product, service, strategy, and portfolio information
- Public content, disclosures, reviews, directories, help material, and social profiles
- Public tracking, consent, accessibility, and technical signals
- Relevant public competitor or peer journeys
Authorized private evidence
- Analytics and advertising data
- Search terms and campaign structures
- CRM stages and source fields
- Response and follow-up records
- Pipeline definitions and qualified outcomes
- Approved customer, sales, product, or operational context
The report should ask for the smallest private evidence needed to test a finding. A public observation does not justify broad data access.
The Five Report Modules
- Decision and scope Names the audience, path, offer, trigger, question, and evidence boundary.
- Evidence map Lists the public and authorized private inputs, capture date, source, and gaps.
- Three to five findings Each finding contains: observation, evidence label, source, commercial implication, alternative explanation, priority action, and next evidence needed.
- Relevant peer context Compares a bounded journey, message, proof type, or route only when the sample and source support it. Peer context is not a league table, industry benchmark, or proof that another approach works better.
- One priority action Selects the smallest useful next move. The action may be a message change, evidence asset, measurement repair, landing-page test, routing fix, focused engagement, or a decision to wait.

The Evidence Labels
Observed The source directly shows the statement.
Supported inference The evidence supports a bounded interpretation, but not causality.
Illustrative AAYT created the example to explain a method. It is not company, client, or performance data.
Missing The evidence required for a conclusion is unavailable or private.
A report should never turn "missing" into an implied weakness. Missing evidence is a next question.
What the Report Does Not Evaluate
The review does not establish:
legal or regulatory compliance;
control effectiveness;
lead, pipeline, funded-loan, asset, mandate, commitment, or revenue causality;
private customer or investor behavior;
the quality of an internal team;
the effectiveness of a vendor or platform;
a complete market size or commercial-viability verdict; or
guaranteed implementation results.
Those conclusions require different evidence and, in some cases, the client's compliance team or counsel.
How to Evaluate the Report Itself
Use this checklist:
- Is the decision specific?
- Is the audience and path clear?
- Can every material observation be traced to a source?
- Are observed facts separated from inference?
- Are alternatives and missing evidence visible?
- Is peer context actually comparable?
- Does each finding connect to a commercial consequence without overstating causality?
- Is the priority action smaller than the entire problem?
- Can the next signal be measured?
- Does the report remain useful if the buyer never hires AAYT?
Sample report · from an approved public analysis Observed
Observation Product families are visible, but the comparison job is left to the evaluator.
Source Home · ICON Advisers · iconadvisers.com · accessed 2026-07-28
Implication A prospective evaluator may need a task-based comparison that explains who each family is for and which evidence to inspect next.
Alternative A distributor or existing adviser may already know the product names and need no comparison layer.
Priority action Add a compact product-family comparison organized by evaluator objective, not only product nomenclature.
Public information. AAYT is not affiliated with the analyzed company. No client relationship is implied. Read the full analysis
A report that only inventories issues is not enough. A report that jumps from surface observation to guaranteed outcome goes too far.
What Happens After the Report?
There are four reasonable outcomes.
No action yet The evidence does not support work or timing is wrong.
Internal action The client can make the priority change without external help.
Focused engagement One bounded asset, repair, or implementation priority earns a defined scope.
Paid pilot or ongoing work A measurable problem, decision owner, capacity, data path, and review process justify broader execution.
The report is free. Expansion is optional and should occur only when the evidence supports it.
Questions Buyers Ask
It is a free review of what a prospect sees, not a complete audit. It examines one defined growth path and produces three to five findings plus one priority action.
