Contact · reply within one working day
Four fields, no discovery call required. I reply within one working day with either a scoped audit or an honest reason not to buy one.
What happens next
You write
Domain, three competitors, and what you want first. One message is enough.
Free scope within a working day
A written scope, start date and draft prompt set — or a written reason you should not buy one yet.
You approve, then pay half
Questions are settled by email. When the scope looks right, you get an invoice for the first 50%.
Ten working days, then the rest
Work starts when the first payment lands. The second 50% is invoiced when the report is delivered.
Or reach me directly
Before you write
Enquiring costs you one message and, at most, half an hour. It does not put you into a sequence, and it does not commit you to anything — I would rather lose the deal at this stage than at week three.
You will get
You won't get
Seven practical questions about working together, so the first message can be about your category rather than my process.
No. Engagements start and finish in writing — email and shared documents — and the audit does not require a call at any point. Everything you would ask on a call gets a written answer you can forward to your team.
Your domain, three competitors you are compared against, and one person who can answer questions about the site. Everything else — prompt set, competitor list, engine coverage — I build and send you for approval before running anything.
Usually within one to two weeks, since I run four to six clients at a time. If the slate is full I will tell you the real date rather than start late and rush the measurement.
Yes, standard mutual NDAs are fine and I will sign yours rather than insist on mine. Note that published research never includes client data — studies use public data only, and clients are never named without written permission.
Rarely, and I will usually refer you on. The whole speed advantage comes from knowing the failure patterns in software categories; in a different industry I would be learning on your budget.
Two invoices in USD, paid by bank transfer: 50% ($450) when you approve the written scope, and 50% ($450) when the report is delivered, each due within seven days. Monitoring and retainers are invoiced monthly in advance.
With me directly: Artiom Graciov, trading as LiftInAI, an independent consultant based in Chișinău, Moldova. No agency or subcontractor in between. Every invoice carries my full legal details, and US clients get a W-8BEN on request. Full terms of work →
