Audience Segments
Three tiers — bespoke clients, corporate/enterprise, and plug-and-play.
Tier 1: Bespoke Clients (Primary)
Established founders at 6-7 figures with deep IP and a delivery constraint. Full three-module engagement.
- Investment: £2,500-£20,000+
- Engagement: Every client gets both founders (Gemma + Maria-Ines)
- Journey: Module 1 → Module 2 → Module 3, with expansion into additional agents and team access
- Discovery: Referrals, Gemma's network, Maria-Ines's content, word of mouth
Tier 2: Corporate/Enterprise
Businesses needing sophisticated, responsible AI implementation aligned with their values. Larger budgets, more stakeholders, governance requirements.
- Investment: £20,000+
- Engagement: Enterprise pricing, multi-stakeholder onboarding, governance documentation
- Journey: Longer sales cycle, committee decisions, compliance considerations
- Discovery: LinkedIn "Intelligence by Design" newsletter, professional referrals, conference visibility
Tier 3: Plug-and-Play Products
Businesses that want Aureum-quality AI without a full bespoke engagement. Lead bots, chat assistants, Zoom intelligence.
- Investment: TBD — positioned as accessible entry point
- Engagement: Self-serve or light-touch onboarding
- Journey: Product purchase → value realization → potential upgrade to bespoke (Tier 1)
- Discovery: Substack, Instagram, content marketing, product-led growth
Why Three Tiers Matter
Different discovery channels, different content needs, different conversion paths.
| Channel | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Substack "AI By Design" | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Instagram (Auria's world) | Yes | Indirect | Yes |
| LinkedIn "Intelligence by Design" | Indirect | Primary | Indirect |
| Referral network | Primary | Yes | Rare |
Each tier requires distinct messaging. Tier 1 responds to identity and legacy language. Tier 2 responds to governance and ROI language. Tier 3 responds to accessibility and quick-win language.
