The shutdown date is fixed.
A plant needs replacement components before a scheduled shutdown. The supplier sells a large catalogue, but the buyer needs a workable plan.
Work through the example ↗Simple and powerful. Made for the AI age.
Help buyers understand what you solve, recognise your business and make a decision they can justify.
01 / The premise
A buyer should not have to translate your capabilities into a business case. Show the situation you solve, the result you can deliver and the evidence behind it. Make that material easy to recognise, find and share.
Define the outcome, the scope and the limits. Give each person in the buying group the information needed to move forward.
Use consistent brand cues and show up around relevant buying moments. Keep your offers and evidence easy to find.
02 / The system
Start with a buying moment. Shape the offer. Make it recognisable and accessible. Use delivery evidence to improve the next version.
03 / In practice
Three illustrative scenarios. The numbers and situations are worked examples, not client results.
A plant needs replacement components before a scheduled shutdown. The supplier sells a large catalogue, but the buyer needs a workable plan.
Work through the example ↗An operations team is reviewing its workflow software before renewal. It needs to know whether switching is practical, how much work it creates and what could go wrong.
Work through the example ↗A business has an audit finding and a deadline. It needs to understand the work required, who owns it and what evidence will satisfy the agreed requirements.
Work through the example ↗04 / AI
Use AI to retrieve approved evidence, prepare technical documents and check offer versions. Keep people responsible for claims, prices and commitments. The public result should be easier to understand.
How AI fits into the system ↗05 / Start here
Start with a filled example, adapt it to your offer and use five questions to find what a buyer still needs. Assign the next action to someone who can resolve it.
06 / Questions
B2B teams selling offers that require explanation, evidence or several people to approve. For a simple transaction, a clear product page and checkout may be enough.
Research supports several underlying concepts. Solve & Signal itself is a practitioner framework to test in your business. The research page separates those two things.
