Pretest Lab

Pre-launch quality gate for design and communication assets. Pretest any design or communication asset before it ships: pitch decks, investor presentations, landing pages, LinkedIn posts, X threads, ads, posters, key visuals, social creatives, one-pagers, brochures, CVs, cover letters, email templates. Communication only exists when it lands. This skill tests whether it does. Built on three established frameworks, stacked in one pass: the Limbic Model (Häusel) for psychographic archetypes, Decoded neuromarketing (Phil Barden, building on Kahneman) for System 1 cognition, and a Creative Expert Roundtable (Ogilvy, Scher, Spiekermann, Cialdini, Duarte, Krug, Heath, Wells Lawrence and others) for distilled human expertise. Plus A/B comparison. Triggers: "pretest", "test this", "does this work", "review this deck", "review my CV", "review my cover letter", "test this poster", "check this ad", "pretest this pitch", "which variant wins", "A/B test", "audience reaction", "before launch review", "quality gate". Also trigger when a user uploads any communication asset and asks whether it lands.
