The Truth Triad Diagnostic is a four-week, public-data-only assessment that evaluates your Customer Truth ↔︎ Product Truth ↔︎ Brand Truth to uncover where your brand is under-credited, misunderstood, or losing ground in crowded categories.

No meetings. No internal data. No vendor setup.

Just a crisp, outsider-clean view of what’s really landing.

Why should you care?

Most equipment companies build good machines and tell an okay story. The trouble is, in a crowded category, “okay” blends in. Customers aren’t confused; they’re overloaded. They don’t have time to decode the real strengths.

  • What customers think you stand for

  • What competitors claim vs. own

  • Which parts of your product story are invisible

  • Where you’re losing credit you deserve

  • Where real growth levers exist

This diagnostic shows what’s obvious to you and invisible to them.

What you get

Public information scan

An analysis of what the market sees and perceives. Using publicly available sources (no interviews, no internal data):

  • Current brand story and messaging

  • Competitive positioning

  • Customer segments and use cases implied through public content

  • Product lineup, structure, differentiation, pricing signals

  • Customer commentary, reviews, forums, influencer content

  • Category conventions and competitive norms

Truth Triad assessment

→ Customer Truth: How well the brand shows it understands who the customer is, what jobs they’re hiring for, the emotional and functional triggers, and the pain points.

→ Product Truth: How clearly the products show up in the market: differentiation, visible strengths, visible weaknesses, credibility, and whether product stories land.

→ Brand Truth: How coherently the brand communicates: narrative, consistency, promise, identity, and whether the story aligns with the real product and customer context.

Competitive map

A comparison showing how the brand stacks up against top competitors on things like:

  • Messaging clarity

  • Perceived product differentiation

  • Category story and conventions

  • Emotional vs functional positioning

  • Where the brand is over- or under-indexed relative to category norms

Where the openings are

  • Underserved customer segments

  • Undifferentiated product stories

  • Untapped emotional drivers

  • Category white space

  • Brand inconsistencies

  • Overlooked strengths

  • Incorrect assumptions the market is making

Recommendations

To grow the brand’s perception and commercial performance, such as:

  • Reframe messaging around X segment

  • Clarify the story for Y product

  • Simplify the lineup narrative

  • Improve perceived differentiation in category Z

  • Create anchor claims the brand can “own”

Artifacts

No gimmicks. No jargon. Just a straight read of what the world sees… and what it’s missing.

  1. Findings deck and written report

  2. 30-minute readout presentation or prerecorded video walkthrough

What you need to provide

No access. No data. No interviews. No onboarding.

This is entirely based on public information.

If you want to add a 15-30 min kickoff or closing call, you can; but it’s optional.

I will send a 5-minute follow-up survey seeking feedback on:

  • Value and usefulness (what is this worth to you as a paid service?)

  • What would help you sell this internally (cut sheet, landing page, video example)

  • Permission to reference your company as a proof point, and/or testimonial content (named or anonymous)

Why it’s (temporarily) free

I’m running this pilot to validate the methodology, get feedback, and refine the Truth Triad as a productized advisory service.

Your feedback helps make the final paid version stronger.

Who I am

I’m Dan Radin. I’ve spent 20 years building and shipping 75 products at Sennheiser, Alesis, Harman, and iZotope. I also founded, operated, and sold a company. Products I’ve been part of have generated $250M. I now focus on heavy equipment and OPE.

I’ve done the hands-on kind of work where you see what customers actually respond to, not what your slide deck claims they should. The Truth Triad is built from that experience: practical, clear, and built to help strong machines tell a stronger story.

What happens after you say YES

Optional get-started call. (Your call)

I run the assessment (four weeks).

You get a deck and a written report.

Optional 30-min findings review or video. (Your choice)

Feedback survey.

That’s it.
