Call Cockpit
One screen during the 45-min call · decider at min 22-32 · score at hangup
Formula decider
Live · minute 22 to 32 · before the price, never after
1 · Profile (the editing cell decides)
2 · What do they need (Pilot only, locked when Artist is picked)
3 · Technical session needed? (who built the site · who holds domain and accesses · who fixes when it breaks — three no-idea = yes)
4 · Revenue signal (eligibility gates)
Pick the four answers.
Amounts are read live from Doctrine Pricing at quote time; this screen routes, it does not price. For the market multiplier and the actual quote, open the pricing calculator. Artist floor is Full: the menu disappears. A client who needs the session and refuses it does not get signed (AL rule, 11/08/2026).

Reading grid: filter or defect
- Selection operates on gates defined BEFORE the call. Someone who leaves because they fail a pre-set gate (stories/feed split refused, needs the session and refuses it, wants a discount, no financial surface) is the system working. Never a reason to self-question.
- Bad execution shows in the numbers AFTER. Someone who passes every gate and still leaves is on AL, and the five axes say where: which phase scores low, where in the call it cools.
- Thresholds (doctrine): 30-40% close on qualified prospects = the style is selecting. Under 15% = the execution is sabotaging. Selection cannot, by definition, reject 90% of people chosen by your own criteria: that is a leak, not a filter.
- One sentence: what makes the WRONG clients leave is the filter. What makes the RIGHT clients leave is a defect. You only know which one you are looking at by holding the numbers.
- Weekly ritual: one blocked slot, re-listen the best and worst call asking what could have been done better. Numbers over impressions. Any external explanation for a lost deal is probable attribution bias.
The anti-AL layer: five reflexes that save the relationship
- Client indecision is the default state of most humans, not stupidity. The bounded swipe exists precisely for that: it converts indecision into a 30-second binary choice. When it irritates, the system is doing its job.
- When a client reopens something validated, the answer is the contract (48h tacit validation, new billable request), never the irritation. The clause speaks so AL does not have to.
- "Il est con" is a signal about AL, not the client: it means AL just transposed his own operating mode onto someone who does not have it. Reframe: he does not have my system, that is exactly what he pays for.
- One thing goes wrong does not mean the relationship is over. The binary switch (all good, then dead) is the old pattern. Friction with a case (ticket, weekly call, month page comment) is friction absorbed; friction without a case becomes the switch. Give every friction a case.
- Never answer hot in writing. 24 hours or a call. The Frederique blow-up was an email chain.
