Honest observations about running a spatial design practice.

General Notes
1.

Yes, clearly we have been inspired by architectural sheets in this website.

2.

And yes, it almost took us half a year to finish it.

3.

And no, we don't regret it. Mostly.

The WTF Assessment™ — Part of The Line System™

The Studio Audit

Where is your studio structurally weak?

Thirty yes/no statements across six dimensions. Answer honestly and see where the studio is load-bearing, where it is cracking, and what is running on founder willpower alone.

What we will measure

Six dimensions that hold the studio up — or bring it down.

Five statements per dimension. One point per yes. No maybes. The score is the diagnosis.

01 / 06

Positioning

Whether the market can describe what you do without your help.

02 / 06

Visual Identity

Whether the brand reads like the work or undersells it.

03 / 06

Proposal Quality

Whether proposals win work or describe it.

04 / 06

Client Experience

Whether the process feels as considered as the output.

05 / 06

Operations

Whether the studio runs without you in the room.

06 / 06

Digital Presence

Whether the website earns inquiries or only receives them.

What you will get

Not a vibe check. Your diagnosis.

01

Your score out of 30

A single number across the six dimensions, so you can see the gap between the work quality and the studio quality without guessing.

02

Scores per dimension

Five points possible in each. The fills show which walls are holding and which are cracked — before the roof follows.

03

The weakest load points

The one or two dimensions dragging the score down, with a one-line note on what that gap typically costs a studio.

Sample result

Most studios fix the paint before the walls.

Run the audit before the next hire, the next website redesign, or the next time a proposal goes unanswered.
