THE PROBLEM

The Expertise Exists.
The Book Doesn't.

You've spent years building frameworks, closing deals, and leading teams. The intellectual property is there — but converting it into a structured, market-ready manuscript is a completely different problem.

Most founders try anyway. Most founders stall. The issue was never the ideas — it was the production system.

THE TRUTH

The Founder's Dilemma

You've built businesses, led teams, closed deals. But the book? That's a different machine entirely.

WHAT FOUNDERS FACE
  • Ideas scattered across years of experience
  • No structure to organize a 60,000-word manuscript
  • Ghost-written drafts that sound like someone else
  • Months lost to rewrites that go nowhere
  • No way to measure if the book is actually good
WHAT THE MARKET DEMANDS
  • A clear, distinct thesis in the first 10 pages
  • Structural integrity that maintains momentum
  • Insight density that respects the reader's time
  • Professional polish that signals authority
  • Category fit that ensures discoverability
MARKET COMPARISON

Why We Don't Ghostwrite —
We Engineered Past It

Six-figure ghostwriting delivers unscored manuscripts. Life Engine delivers algorithmically scored authority assets.

× Six-Figure Ghostwriting
Life Engine™
Core Deliverable
Unscored manuscript written for the client
IP-ingested, scored Authority Book — threshold-cleared and deployment-ready
IP Fidelity
Ghostwriter interprets or fabricates content from scratch
Precision-engineered directly from your recorded thinking & existing assets
Voice Authenticity
Often lacks your true voice — "written for" not "written as"
Extracts your natural logic, language, and stories
Methodology Extraction
May rely on vague interviews or secondhand research
Strategic forensic IP ingestion: video, audio, content archives, frameworks
Timeline
9–18 months is standard
60–90 days from kickoff to finished book
Team Visibility
Often a black box — ghostwriter works alone
Transparent, modular system with engineered checkpoints
Control & Direction
Low. You hand off your idea and hope it's done right
High. You retain authorship logic without doing the writing yourself
Output Scoring & Quality Gate
None. Delivered based on subjective editorial opinion
Bestseller Algorithm™ — scored against NYT-benchmarked criteria. Minimum threshold required before release
End Format
Word doc or draft sent for edits
Fully designed print-ready trade paperback with formatting & cover
Conversion Focus
Usually storytelling- or legacy-driven
Built as an authority asset engineered to lead into conversions
Scalability
Just a book
Optional stack: course, funnel, authority system
THE BOTTOM LINE
Ghostwriting delivers an unscored manuscript and hopes it works. Life Engine delivers a threshold-cleared authority asset — algorithmically scored, systematically enforced, built to convert.
INTRODUCING

The Life Engine

A stage-locked engineering pipeline that transforms raw expertise into a scored authority asset. Each gate must clear before the next begins.

01
STAGE 1

Total IP Capture

Eliminate omission risk. Ingest all artifacts. No summarizing, no rewriting, no deciding what matters — yet.

  • Multi-source aggregation: whitepapers, sales scripts, keynotes, marketing collateral, website copy
  • Targeted interviews to extract war stories, decision logic, and founder instinct
  • All recorded content, written assets, and frameworks ingested without interpretation
GATE OUTPUT — Complete raw IP dataset. Nothing omitted.LOCKED
“At this stage, we do not decide what matters. We only make sure nothing is lost.”
02
STAGE 2

Forensic Baseline Construction

Build a distortion-free map of the client's IP. Normalize inputs. Preserve contradictions. Detect motifs.

  • Normalize across formats: spoken vs. written, formal vs. conversational, old vs. current
  • Preserve contradictions and evolution in thinking — flag, don't resolve
  • Detect recurring motifs, language patterns, and conviction anchors
GATE OUTPUT — Authenticated IP baseline across time, formats, and contexts.VERIFIED
“Before we decide what your book should say, we establish what you actually believe.”
03
STAGE 3

Signal Isolation — The Logic Filter

Separate durable insight from conversational noise. Deconstruct anecdotes into principles.

  • Strip noise: filler, tangents, performative language, redundancy
  • Deconstruct stories into underlying principles and repeatable frameworks
  • Validate claims against evidence; flag unsupported assertions for resolution
GATE OUTPUT — Isolated signal set. Every surviving idea structurally defensible.CLEARED
“We don't ask 'Is this a good story?' We ask 'Is this a repeatable idea with structural integrity?'”
04
STAGE 4

Structural Engineering — Thesis Lock

Lock the argument before prose. No writing proceeds until the structure survives pressure.

  • Single central thesis defined and pressure-tested
  • Chapters ordered by logical dependency — each proves the thesis
  • Structural blueprint validated: progression, pacing, cognitive load, argument completeness
GATE OUTPUT — Validated engineering blueprint. Structural integrity locked.LOCKED
“Nothing is written until the structure can survive pressure.”
05
STAGE 5

Voice Synthesis & Controlled Production

Restore human authority without reintroducing noise. Produce within constraints. Score iteratively.

  • Apply client cadence, argument style, and tonal fingerprint to structured content
  • Produce chapter-by-chapter within locked structural constraints
  • Iterative BSA scoring at each milestone — revise until criteria clear
GATE OUTPUT — Complete manuscript. Voice-authenticated. Structurally enforced.COMPLETE

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before You Apply

KNOWLEDGE BASE
QUERIES: 6 CATEGORIES: 3 READY

We don't accept every project. Life Engine is built for founders, operators, and subject-matter experts whose IP has structural depth. If your expertise can sustain a book-length argument with defensible claims, you're a fit. If you're looking for a vanity project or memoir without a thesis, we'll tell you upfront.

The timeline is enforced by the stage-gated pipeline itself. Each stage has defined inputs, outputs, and gate criteria. There are no open-ended revision loops or subjective editorial debates. The structure prevents timeline drift by design, not by promise.

Yes. Stage 2 (Forensic Baseline) and Stage 3 (Signal Isolation) produce artifacts you review before any writing begins. You approve the structural blueprint, the thesis lock, and the voice calibration. Nothing enters production without your sign-off on direction.

It doesn't ship. The Bestseller Algorithm scores against objective structural, cognitive, and market criteria. If the score falls below threshold, the manuscript re-enters the revision cycle at our cost — not yours. The release gate exists to protect your asset, not to rush it.

Revisions are built into the pipeline at Stage 5 (Voice Synthesis). Iterative BSA scoring drives revision cycles until criteria clear. This isn't a "three rounds of edits" model — it's a score-driven loop that continues until the manuscript meets threshold. The system decides when it's done, not a calendar.

That's what it's built for. Unlike legacy ghostwriting which optimizes for narrative or memoir, Life Engine produces authority assets engineered to establish category credibility and drive downstream conversions — speaking, consulting, program enrollment, or enterprise sales.
