Explore the strategy

Four views of the same architecture. Each one for a different conversation: visual structure, scannable list, sprint timing, and the why.

The 7 findings that reshape the strategy

CRM mining (10,165 contacts + 1,718 sales notes + 962 meeting transcripts + 629 deals) produced findings that the original April-2026 ICP and keyword map didn't capture. Each finding triggered a specific change in the topical architecture.

Finding 1
Quality Director is the buyer, not Sensory Scientist
1,500+ CRM contacts in "responsable de calidad / quality manager / control de calidad" titles. Sensory-titled contacts: negligible. Every Tier-1 H1 rewrites — quality control is the positioning, not sensory analysis.
Finding 2
Excel is the real competitor
20 Excel mentions in 2,052 sales engagements vs 5 Compusense, 9 FIZZ, 0 EyeQuestion/RedJade/DraughtLab. Replace-Excel page promoted to T1. EyeQuestion/RedJade/DraughtLab alternatives demoted to T3.
Finding 3
Academic vertical is gold — 41.5% close rate
30 customers across Higher Ed (22) + Research (8) from 93 companies. Combined 32.3% close rate — highest of any vertical. Original ICP said "Dr. Elena Voss P3, small TAM." CRM says P1.
Finding 4
Brazil is the #2 country, currently unmapped
1,520 contacts (15% of base, larger than Mexico). Zero PT-BR content today. Added 7-page PT-BR addendum to architecture: Sprint 18+.
Finding 5
Inbound converts at 15-29%, not the assumed 6-12%
Homepage 15.8%. Blog 20%. Partner-routed 29.2%. Revenue model upside: Year-1 SEO ARR projects €1.47M ceiling vs the €450K conservative plan — 3.3× headroom.
Finding 6
Ready Meals is the biggest untapped vertical
127 companies, 483 contacts, 7 customers. 8-country LATAM-leaning spread (Mexico 12, Colombia 6, Ecuador 5, Brazil 4, Chile 3). Zero pages in prior keyword map.
Finding 7
Sea Food (Spain) is a hidden 35% close-rate play
7 customers / 20 companies, 17 in Spain. Galicia network (Maruxa + Laia in Lugo) explains it. QIM methodology spoke + Spanish-canonical page added.

The 15 clusters (Koray's 7 seed cores + outer ring)

Every page in the architecture belongs to exactly one cluster. Internal links flow hub → spoke → node within each cluster, then cross-cluster from vertical pages to methodology spokes.
