How it works

From data to diagnosis to action.

Growth problems need diagnosis before tactics.

Most companies do not lack ideas.

They have SEO opportunities, conversion ideas, positioning questions, acquisition channels and dozens of possible improvements competing for attention.

The difficult question is:

What is actually holding back growth — and what deserves attention first?

WhatAGrowth is designed to answer that question through a structured diagnostic process.

  1. Data

  2. Diagnosis

  3. Priority

  4. Action

The process

Four steps. A clearer next decision.

  1. Data

    We start with the signals available for the diagnostic.

    For the Homepage Messaging Diagnostic, this means analyzing the content and structure of the homepage.

    Future diagnostics may also use additional website, competitive, historical or market signals where relevant.

  2. Diagnosis

    The collected information is evaluated against a defined diagnostic framework.

    The goal is not simply to identify everything that could be improved.

    The goal is to identify the weaknesses most likely to explain the problem being investigated.

  3. Priority

    Not every issue deserves the same attention.

    WhatAGrowth separates minor observations from higher-priority problems so you can understand what should be investigated or fixed first.

  4. Action

    Every diagnostic should lead somewhere.

    Depending on the result, you may:

    • make the recommended change yourself,
    • investigate the problem with another diagnostic,
    • or request expert help when additional judgment or context is useful.

More than an AI answer

Structured diagnosis, not generic AI commentary.

AI can analyze large amounts of information quickly, but an unrestricted AI response is not the same as a diagnostic.

WhatAGrowth combines structured diagnostic criteria, evidence from the analyzed source and AI-assisted evaluation to produce consistent outputs.

The result is designed to show:

  • What we found
  • Why it matters
  • How important it is
  • What you should consider doing next

AI is part of the analysis process.
It is not the product by itself.

How to read your result

A score is only the starting point.

A diagnostic result may include:

Score
A simple indication of overall performance within the diagnostic.
Findings
The specific problems or weaknesses identified.
Evidence
The signals that support the diagnosis.
Priority
Which issues deserve attention first.
Recommended actions
Practical next steps based on the findings.

The goal is not to chase a perfect score.
The goal is to make better growth decisions.

Human judgment when you need it

Software first. Expert help when context matters.

Some findings are straightforward enough to act on directly.

Others involve positioning, customer understanding, business strategy or trade-offs that benefit from human discussion.
