THE GAME AUDIT
Identify the game you're actually playing — and why it's not working yet.
Then lock that game in with guardrails your AI, VAs, and systems can't drift from.
You're playing a game.
You might be playing the wrong one.
Most creators, founders, and hosts don't fail because they lack talent — they fail because their strategy doesn't match the game they're in.

Why smart people keep spinning their wheels
You can be:
- Publishing consistently
- Getting good feedback
- Interviewing impressive people
- Saying things that feel important
- Delegating or automating output that quietly breaks the game
…and still see no leverage, no growth, no momentum.
Why?
Most breakdowns aren't caused by bad execution — they're caused by systems optimizing for the wrong rules.
Because different games reward different behaviors — and most people are unknowingly optimizing for the wrong one.
"Clarity failures look like effort problems — until you name the game."
There isn't one "right" way to create value
There are distinct games, each with:
- Different success metrics
- Different failure modes
- Different paths to leverage
Trying to win the wrong game creates frustration that no amount of effort fixes.
Examples:
- Teaching when your audience needs execution
- Interviewing when your edge is synthesis
- Building canon when you need momentum
- Optimizing signal when your problem is clarity
Why scale breaks alignment before it breaks quality
AI systems and VAs don't fail because they're low-quality.
They fail because they optimize locally — while games are global.
Without explicit game constraints, systems drift toward:
- The wrong success metrics
- The wrong tone and structure
- The wrong form of leverage
The result looks like productivity.
It feels like momentum.
But it's off-game.
The fastest way to find your real constraint
The Game Quiz identifies:
- The primary game you're currently playing
- The secondary game pulling you off course
- The exact failure mode that's limiting your results
No theory. No personality fluff.
Just pattern recognition from real audits.

Your Primary Game
The game your content actually plays — whether you intended it or not.
Your Failure Pattern
The most common way people lose this game (and how it shows up).
Your Best Next Move
Whether you need structural fixes, clearer leverage, better compression, stronger positioning, or a full audit.
Your Game Guardrails
The constraints your content, systems, and delegates must obey — regardless of who (or what) produces the output.
Built from real-world analysis
This framework is derived from:
- Long-running podcasts
- Founder interviews
- Educational creators
- Network-driven shows
Across different sizes, stages, and audiences — the same game patterns repeat.
The difference between stalled and compounding work is almost always structural.
If you want precision, not guesses
For people who want to go deeper, each game maps to a tailored Game Audit:
- Episode-level analysis
- Structural diagnosis
- Clear recommendations
- No fluff, no templates
You'll see the relevant audit after your results — only if it actually applies to you.
Each Game Audit can be translated into:
- AI prompt constraints
- VA review checklists
- Content acceptance criteria
So quality doesn't depend on taste, vigilance, or taste battles — it's enforced structurally.
No pressure. The quiz stands on its own.
FAQ
Q: Is this a personality test?
No. It's a structural diagnosis based on how your work functions.
Q: Is this only for podcasters?
No. It applies to creators, founders, writers, educators, and hosts.
Q: Do I need a big audience?
No. In fact, this is most useful before scale.
Q: Will I be sold to immediately?
No. You'll see your results first. Always.
Q: Is this about automating content?
No. It's about preventing automation from breaking your strategy. The audit defines what must not change — even as output scales.
Find the game. Fix the strategy.
Stop guessing.
