The Verbatim Fit check from The Art of Service is a free three-question form that tells a founder, consultant, coach, agency or adviser whether a USD 497 Verbatim One brief will help with a decision they are making now. Buyers without a defined set of offers, or with no decision due, are pointed to Verbatim's free plan and guides instead. Gerard Blokdyk, founder of The Art of Service, reads every request sent through the Talk to a person route.

Three yes or no answers. Three yeses take you to the One brief order form; any no takes you to the free route that fits. Nothing is stored except the answers.
Rather ask first? Talk to a person.
“I was turning away literally like 80, 90% of people that wanted to work with us because I just told them the truth. At the end of the call, go on YouTube, find them a video. I'm like, go watch that, learn the basics, figure it out yourself.”
Framework
It walks you through three gates; pass all three and the brief is worth buying, miss one and the path turns to a free route.
The Three-Gate Fit Check asks the first two as questions and adds a third: whether buyers' own words would change the decision.
Because a brief bought for the wrong reason helps nobody. A founder said on a podcast that he turned away most of the people who asked to work with him and pointed them to free videos instead. The fit check does the same before you pay: three yeses go to the order form; any no goes to the free route that fits. You can still talk to a person after the check.
Anyone with no defined offers yet, no decision due, or a need for a market size forecast. The Verbatim One brief, USD 497, matches what operators said on 900+ podcasts to offers you already sell. If that is not you yet, the free Verbatim Monday brief and guides are the better start.
For the Verbatim One brief, yes: it reads buyer pains, recipes and lanes against each of your offers. Without offers, the free Verbatim plan, a Monday brief on 3 topics, shows what operators in your market are saying while you shape them.
A private written brief within two business days: buyer pains your offers already solve, delivery recipes that worked with numbers, new lanes, traffic recipes and a short build agenda. Every quote in the Verbatim One brief links to the second it was said, and a broken link or wrong attribution means a refund.
The Free plan sends the week's best moments on 3 topics every Monday and lets you search the last 7 days. The guides answer specific questions from the library, and topic pages refresh daily. The Verbatim Fit check itself is free and takes three answers.
Yes. Send a short request on the Talk page and Gerard Blokdyk replies by email with times. There is no self-serve calendar. The Verbatim Fit check is there for people who would rather know in a minute whether the USD 497 One brief fits.
Within two business days of ordering. Each Verbatim One brief, USD 497, is read by a person before it is sent, and arrives as a private link you can print or save as a PDF.
