The Narrative Performance Lab

What this is A structured environment for decision clarity inside real systems
Who it’s for Founders, teams, and institutions navigating multi-stakeholder adoption
What you can accomplish Make adoption conditions visible · locate constraints · reduce uncertainty
What this is not A pitch program, messaging workshop, or performance theater

Orientation

Many innovators believe they have a storytelling problem. Often, they have an adoption condition problem: who decides, who carries risk, what must be true, and why interest doesn’t convert into movement.

The Lab helps you see those conditions with more accuracy — so you can choose your next move without guessing. This is not about persuasion. It’s about decision safety.

Stance
Optimize for accuracy over polish. The goal is to reduce uncertainty at the constraint — not perform.

How it works

The Lab is made of rooms, but it is not linear. Each room isolates one component of adoption so you can observe what’s happening and name what the system requires. You enter the room that earns its keep — the one that reduces uncertainty at your constraint.

Adoption Logic Map
Make the decision path visible.
Stakeholders · gates · decision conditions
Value Chain
Trace where value stops translating.
Created → Experienced → Recognized → Authorized → Implemented → Rewarded
Stakeholder Topology
See who controls release.
Power · risk · influence (not titles)
Founder Topology
See how power enters the system.
Presence · proof · positioning · power
Workflow / Integration Lab
Test whether a “yes” survives workflow reality.
Operational absorption · handoffs · adoption cost
Constraint Profile
Name the dominant condition.
What must be true for movement
NPI Baseline
Is your narrative usable inside this system?
Compatibility signals (not a grade)
Rooms are modular. Sequence is earned — not assigned.

Explore the Lab

If you have interest but no movement
Start with Adoption Logic Map to locate the gate, then use Constraint Profile to name what must be true for movement to be released.

If you have movement but weak conversion
Start with Value Chain to locate where translation breaks, then use NPI Baseline to test whether your narrative reduces uncertainty at that constraint.

AI’s role

AI may assist with signal visibility — pattern spotting, ambiguity detection, and draft summaries to reduce cognitive load. It does not replace judgment, and it does not make decisions. The Lab is designed to preserve founder agency while improving clarity.
