AmplifyEarly access

A pre-flight readon the content you’re about to ship.

Most of the content your team publishes won’t land. Amplify tells you why, before it goes out — in the voice of a senior editor, not a headline grader.

Four dimensions. Line-level edits. A one-click hand-off to Copy Studio when you want the rewrite done for you.

§01The symptom

“Nobody reacted.”

Your best writer spends a Tuesday on a blog post. It ships Wednesday. By Friday, it has nineteen impressions on LinkedIn and a single share — from an intern.

This is not a talent problem. It is a content that was written for the idea of a reader, not a specific person in a specific moment. Flat claims, no tension, no trigger — the mechanics of why something propagates got skipped in the edit.

The fix is not a headline analyzer. It is the editor’s read you used to get at a publication — the one that said “the first two paragraphs are doing none of the work.”

§02What we read for

Four dimensions. One editorial read.

Each dimension gets a low/medium/high read with a quoted line from your draft. The top of the report is a two-paragraph editorial judgment — the thing you’d say to the writer over coffee.

§01

Resonance

Is the language specific and concrete enough to provoke a reaction, or is it a stack of abstract benefit claims? “Analyze data faster” reads as nothing. “Your CFO asks at 4:55 PM on Friday” reads as something.

§02

Utility

Will the reader save, forward, or act on this? Content that helps the reader do their job gets shared. Content that celebrates the writer’s product does not.

§03

Narrative pull

Is there tension, a curiosity gap, a story shape — or is it a tour of features? Predictable structure reads as a press release. A line that withholds something reads as writing.

§04

Trigger

Does the piece anchor to a real moment the reader hits in their week — a weekly meeting, a specific customer question, a seasonal cycle? Generic framing (“in today’s market”) scores low.

§03What the read looks like

An editorial judgment you can act on. Not a scoreboard.

A paragraph-length read, a four-dimension grid, and three to five line-level edits quoted from your draft. When you’re ready for the full rewrite, one click sends the whole package to Copy Studio in your voice.

Amplify read — Sample
Our new reporting feature

The piece reads as a feature announcement written for nobody in particular. The first two sentences name the feature and the capabilities; neither line anchors to a reader, a moment, or a stake. A finance director scanning LinkedIn has no reason to pause.

The one move that would change the read: open on the 4:55 PM Friday question from the CEO. Everything else in the piece — the dashboards, the real-time updates — becomes a response to a specific, recurring moment the reader already knows.

Resonance
Low

Feature-first, reader-blind.

Utility
Medium

Useful in theory, but the reader has to translate it.

Narrative pull
Low

No tension. The reader knows the punchline by sentence two.

Trigger
Low

No moment in the reader's week attached to this.

Line-level edit
Before

“Our new reporting feature helps you analyze data faster.”

After

“When the CEO asks ‘how are we trending?’ at 4:55 PM Friday, you have five minutes. Here’s how reporting stops being the thing that makes you late for dinner.”

Sample only. The real read is written against your draft, your positioning, and the buyer you already documented in Strategic Context.

§04Why not a headline analyzer

Because the headline isn’t the problem.

Most “viral score” tools grade the first line and call it done. They do not read the paragraph, do not know your category, and cannot tell you what to rewrite. Amplify does all three, because the read inherits your positioning from the work you’ve already done.

Headline graders

Score the title on emotional words. Ignore the paragraph, the reader, and the category. Useful once; forgettable after.

Generic rewriters

Rewrite anything into a pile of synonyms. No grounding in your buyer, your pillars, or what your competitors already say.

Amplify

Reads the whole piece against your positioning. Names the one move that would change the read. Hands the rewrite to Copy Studio when you’re ready.
