08 / Before you begin

A clear next step

A few questions. Straight answers.

You should know what the first step involves before you give us your time.

After sharing your firm details, you choose a time for a 30-minute review. We discuss the findings and whether deeper investigation is useful.

The scan is an initial review. The Diagnostic examines the evidence in greater depth and provides a prioritized roadmap. Explore its scope and sample pages.

Yes. You keep the Diagnostic and roadmap. Your team, existing agency, or 12AM can handle the work. See how we assign responsibilities.

Both include a one-hour Brand Review and the Brand Signal Playbook developed afterward. They also include National Law Review directory inclusion and an article about your firm. Compare the full scopes.

No. We commit to agreed work and measurement. AI systems control their answers. Mentions, citations, qualified inquiries, and signed matters are different outcomes.
