Audit your brand for inconsistency across every touchpoint you own
Turns a plain list of where your brand appears into a prioritised checklist of concrete, yes/no-answerable mismatches — the due-diligence pass before any rebrand.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
Act as a brand auditor. I'm going to list every place our brand currently shows up, and I want you to find the inconsistencies I'm too close to the brand to notice myself — not redesign anything yet. Every place the brand currently appears: Website, Instagram bio, email signatures, invoices, storefront sign, printed packaging. Current tagline or standard description, if any: "Handmade goods, made to last." Places you already suspect are inconsistent: The storefront sign still has the old logo; invoices use the founder's personal name, not the trading name. Do this: 1. For each touchpoint listed, ask me 1 specific, yes/no-answerable question that would reveal a mismatch — e.g. for "email signature": "does the job-title format match how titles appear on the About page?"; for "invoices": "does the business name on invoices match the registered/trading name shown everywhere else?" Don't ask vague questions like "is it on-brand?" 2. List the 5 most common rebrand-audit failure points from real practice — name/legal-entity mismatches, old logo files still live on third-party listings, inconsistent tone between formal documents and social copy, colour drift between print and digital, outdated taglines lingering on old collateral — and mark which of these my touchpoint list is at risk for, based on what I described. 3. Prioritise the findings into "fix this week" (cheap, high-visibility) versus "fix during the next full redesign" (expensive, or requires new assets) — don't treat every inconsistency as equally urgent. 4. Write 3 follow-up questions I should answer before doing anything else, if my answers above revealed I don't actually have a single source of truth for the current brand — e.g. no documented tone-of-voice guide, no locked colour values. Output as a checklist I can literally work through, grouped by touchpoint.

Why this works
Consistency audits fail when they stay at the level of "does this feel on-brand," a question too vague to act on — forcing each finding into a specific, yes/no-answerable question (does the job title format match, does the legal name match) produces something that can actually be checked and closed out, not just felt. The named failure-point list (legal-entity mismatches, stale third-party logo files, print/digital colour drift) comes from how real rebrand audits are actually run, and cross-checking the visitor's own touchpoint list against it catches risks they wouldn't think to ask about unprompted. Splitting findings into "fix this week" versus "fix at next redesign" matters because treating every inconsistency as equally urgent is the single most common reason audits get read once and never acted on.
