Gravity Scan

A three-week diagnostic for the decisions that cannot be unwound.

Gravity Scan reads an enterprise marketing stack against the Value Gravity framework. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Findings are yours.

Duration 3 weeks From engagement to findings presentation.
Scope 28 areas Across the three layers of the framework.
Delivered by One practitioner Arjen Segers. No subcontractors.
01 What it is

A structured read of your stack before the decision is made.

Most enterprise MarTech decisions are made with incomplete information. A vendor has been positioning for months. An internal group has a preferred answer. A consultancy has a proposal in the drawer. Somewhere underneath it all is the actual shape of your stack, and the specific places where value is either compounding or leaking away. Gravity Scan is designed to surface that shape quickly, so the decision that follows rests on architecture rather than on narrative.

The work uses the Value Gravity model as its lens. Every assessment area maps to one of the three layers of the framework, which means the output is not a generic maturity score. It is a map of where value is accumulating, where it is leaking, and which layer is doing the work your commercial story already assumes it is doing.

It is a diagnostic, not a proposal. Gravity Scan does not come with an implementation pitch, a preferred vendor, or a follow-on engagement hiding behind the findings. The point is to get you to a better decision. What you do with that decision is your business.

02 The method

28 assessment areas across three layers.

Each area is scored on evidence, not on opinion. The scoring uses a five-point maturity scale and is triangulated across the commercial interview, the technical interview, and a review of artefacts you already have, such as architecture diagrams, data models, vendor contracts, and measurement definitions. The distribution of scores across the three layers is where the diagnostic lives.

Layer 03

Experience Layer

Content engines, chat interfaces, personalisation, creative generation, and the AI-powered surfaces that define what your customers and prospects actually see. The layer that commoditises fastest.

8Areas
Layer 02

Orchestration Layer

Decisioning, journey routing, lead management, campaign execution, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop design. The bridge layer, where AI output either becomes governed enterprise action or evaporates.

10Areas
Layer 01

Foundation Layer

Data model, identity, consent, governance, integration fabric, CRM and CDP posture, and the measurement infrastructure sitting underneath it all. Slow to build, expensive to change, and where economic value compounds.

03 The three weeks

Fixed shape. Fixed timeline. No drift.

The engagement runs on a three-week cycle that starts the day the scope is signed. Every Gravity Scan follows the same shape, which is part of how the price stays fixed and the findings stay sharp.

Week01

Intake and interviews.

An intake questionnaire maps the current stack, the decision context, and the artefacts available for review. Two structured interviews follow: one commercial, one technical, seventy-five minutes each, against a defined assessment guide.

  • Intake questionnaire (30 to 45 minutes)
  • Commercial interview with marketing and revenue leadership
  • Technical interview with architecture and operations
Week02

Assessment and analysis.

Each of the 28 areas is scored against the Value Gravity framework. Patterns of misalignment between the commercial story and the technical reality are mapped. The draft assessment report takes shape.

  • Evidence-based maturity scoring on a one-to-five scale
  • Layer-level distribution analysis
  • Gravity Leak identification
Week03

Report and findings session.

An eight to twelve page assessment report is delivered, followed by a sixty-minute findings session with the stakeholder group of your choice. The report is yours to keep, yours to share, and yours to use however the decision requires.

  • Written report (8 to 12 pages)
  • 60-minute stakeholder presentation
  • Prioritised recommendations by layer
04 The rules

Independence is load-bearing.

Gravity Scan is a productised diagnostic on purpose. The rules below are not polite language on a services page. They are what keeps the findings useful.

No implementation obligation.

The engagement ends at the findings presentation. There is no downstream build proposal waiting in the background to colour the recommendations.

No vendor alignment.

Value Gravity has no commercial stake in which platforms you choose, which vendors you renew with, or which implementation partner you engage.

The report is yours.

You keep full ownership of the assessment document and are free to share it, build on it, or use it as input to a procurement process. No redaction required.

One practitioner, end to end.

Delivered personally by Arjen Segers. No handoffs, no junior team, no subcontracted interviews. The person who designs the read is the person who presents it.

Investment €7,500 Fixed fee. Excluding VAT. No variable costs.
v Start the scan

Three weeks from the day you sign to the findings on your desk.

If you are in front of a platform migration, a contract renewal, an AI investment case, a carve-out, or a transformation brief, and you want an independent read before the decision is made, this is the right engagement.

Not sure if the question is wide enough for a full Scan? Start with a Pulse diagnostic. Sixty minutes, one question, one thousand euros. If the foundation gap turns out to be wider, the Pulse action brief will say so.

Value Gravity is the framework. IDADAY International Services is the advisory practice that uses it.
