Fair questions
What does the Credibility Gap Audit cost and how long does it take?
The Credibility Gap Audit is a fixed $2,000 and takes five days. You get a recorded walkthrough, a scored gap report against your funded competitors, and a prioritized fix list. The full fee is credited toward any project we run together.
What does a brand identity cost at BrightStudios?
Brand identity — logo, type, color, and guidelines — starts at $9,000 and takes about four weeks. A multi-page website starts at $11,000. The complete BRIGHT Method brand system — strategy through handoff — is $24,000 over ten weeks.
Who actually does the work?
Daniel G Bright — the same person who makes the positioning calls, draws the logo, and ships the site. No account managers, no handoffs. That is the studio’s only model.
How does payment work?
You approve a one-page scope — deliverables, timeline, cost — before anything is due. Payment is split 50% at kickoff and 50% on delivery, handled through Contra with escrow.
What if my brand is actually fine?
Then the audit says so. It is a diagnostic, not a pitch — the report shows what is working, what is off, and what to fix first, whether or not you ever hire the studio.
