Turn what you know into paying clients. Measured in real money, not platform reports.

The 195-page method we built to turn what we know into paying clients: build something worth a stranger's trust, prove it, then put it to work. Nineteen pieces, in order, across three parts, our own numbers attached, and the places it went wrong for us. If your arithmetic does not carry, Piece 15 says so tonight — on one figure you already know.

Why a book

Specialists do not have a reach problem. They have trust and timing problems.

Every vendor on earth sells reach, because reach is the only column a vendor can sell. It was never what was missing. What survived years of testing on our own money: write a book good enough to charge for, sell it so it actually gets read, and put one clear way to reach out behind it.

Trust
A buyer of complex work must clear five beliefs. A case study clears one. A book clears all five.
Context
The book hands the buyer the rubric — you are judged on your terms instead of on price.
Timing
Ads for the ones ready now, email for everyone else, and a book on the desk the day the problem turns acute.
Reach
Volume plus self-selection. The wrong readers leave at Piece 15, on their own arithmetic.
And the seven dollars is not revenue — it is the completion mechanism. Free gets downloaded and filed. Paid gets finished, and an unread book clears nothing.
The proof — we ran it on ourselves first

We measured our own funnel the same way the book tells you to measure yours.

74 buyers
From just over 1,000 paid clicks, 889 real landings and 364 opened checkouts — every count settled cash, not platform-attributed.
$16.57 → ~$20
The average order value, after three repricings on evidence rather than a guess (Piece 19).
37,286 words
The finished manuscript, down from 60,017 across three rounds of cuts — plumbing moved out, not argument cut.
4 rounds
Of blind title-screening this title had to survive — two fields of candidates, a head-to-head duel, then the subtitle, tested separately.
What this does not prove: this funnel is still young, and 74 buyers is not a benchmark for yours. What it does show is the method applied to itself, with the numbers that didn't flatter it left in.
The whole method, nothing held back. $7, once — and Piece 15 tells you tonight if it is not for you.

What you actually get

195 pages. Nineteen pieces, in order, each with its tools and its failure mode.

01
All nineteen pieces, each with its tools, its failure mode, and whether a machine can do it.
02
Every number quoted carries its own denominator and window — Piece 13 keeps the whole ledger in one place.
03
The plumbing — event schemas, templates, sources — lives separately in the free Field Manual, so the book itself stays to the decisions.
04
Measurements distinguished from judgement, with the assumptions made visible.
START AT PIECE 15
One figure you already know, and it tells you whether the other eighteen are worth your evening.
AND PIECE 17
The one that stops a sale being lost for good when a browser tab closes before it reports home.

It is for you, or it really is not.

It is for you if — all four, or Piece 15 says no
✓You sell work that takes a conversation to explain, and the conversation is the bottleneck.
✓First contact to signature runs months or years.
✓A client is worth a lot across the relationship, and enough of them repeat.
✓You are the expertise — it cannot be handed to a junior or a template.
It is not for you if
✕Somebody else signs off your marketing budget.
✕You want a course, a community or a coach. This is a 195-page book.
✕Referrals already arrive on demand. Then you have no problem we solve.
The honest version: nothing is held back for the engagement. This is the same nineteen pieces we run for clients. Most readers should not hire us — they will run it themselves, or hit Piece 15 and find the arithmetic does not carry, which saves them a year. Every one of those is a win.
Who is telling you this
Ryan Richardson

Ryan Richardson — founder of Sixty Steps and the engineering companies behind it. CTO-led, fifteen years in the game, multi-million-dollar enterprise projects. Which is why the method is arithmetic rather than advice, and why every claim either carries a number or is marked as reasoning.

We spent twenty years being genuinely good at something — and invisible for it. We sat across the table from a lot of agencies. All of them wanted the money; none could deliver end to end, because none of them realised how hard it is to sell work at this level. So we pointed our own measurement discipline at our own marketing, and built real software.

09QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK

Asked before you asked.

Why is it seven dollars? What is the catch?

The seven dollars is not revenue — it is the completion mechanism. Free gets downloaded and filed; paid gets finished, and an unread book clears nothing. The catch, stated plainly: if the method fits you, we would like the conversation afterwards. That is the whole model, and it is also chapter one.

What if my arithmetic does not carry?

Then Piece 15 says no, tonight, on one figure you already know — and you have saved yourself a year and kept a book that told you the truth. The disqualification is not a failure of the method. It is the method working.

If you publish the whole method, why would anyone hire you?

Because reading nineteen pieces and running them are different jobs. The ones who hire us are buying the hours and the reps, not a secret. Most readers should run it themselves — the book is written so they can.

Is anything held back for the engagement?

No. These are the same nineteen pieces we run for clients who pay us to run them. If the book felt like a brochure for the real thing, the argument on this page would collapse — so it is all in there, including the parts that went wrong.

How long have you actually been doing this?

Fifteen years in data and analytics, six of them running my own firm — a decade of it standing between executives and engineering teams inside mining companies, banks and government. This book's own funnel numbers are published inside it too, including where it did not work.

Who wrote it?

Ryan Richardson, of Onwards Analytics. The book documents the offer, positioning, creative and measurement work the firm runs itself. Measurements are distinguished from judgement throughout.

THE LAST WORD

What actually landed last month is currently somebody else's opinion.

It does not have to stay that way. What seven dollars buys, if your arithmetic carries, is three things: a number you built from your own settled cash instead of a platform grading its own work, a kill rule that ends a bad test before it costs you, and a ledger someone else could read and get the same answer from.

Nothing on this page expires and the price does not move. The only thing waiting costs you is another quarter of the same.
