Project Echo
Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: February 18, 2026

🎯 What Project Echo Is (and Isn't)

What We Do: Project Echo extracts proven psychology patterns from copy that's already converting. We study what makes it work, then rebuild those same persuasion structures for any copy project you need—emails, ads, landing pages, sales letters. You provide the winning copy (yours, a competitor's, or from any industry), and we extract the patterns that drive decisions.

What This Is NOT:

  • Not copying: We don't copy words. We study psychology patterns and rebuild them as 100% original copy for your business.
  • Not business strategy: We extract copy patterns, not business models or offer structures.
  • Not the proprietary extraction methodology: You receive finished copy using extracted patterns, plus your Project Echo Data Patterns report documenting what was applied. The extraction process itself remains confidential.
  • Not limited to one product: Once extracted, patterns remain on file. Request them on any future copy you order—across any product or service you choose.
  • Not generic AI output: All copy deliverables are produced using a technology-first workflow—specialized AI trained on the highest-converting campaigns, directed by your Blueprint foundation and extracted psychology patterns. This is proprietary technology combined with conversion strategy, not generic tools producing template copy.

🏗️ Blueprint Process Requirement

Project Echo requires an active Blueprint foundation. It cannot be purchased as a standalone service.

  • Your Blueprint provides the strategic foundation (voice, audience, positioning) that makes extracted patterns work for YOUR specific market
  • Without a Blueprint, extracted patterns have no strategic context to build on
  • Your first Blueprint is FREE with any copy service—learn about the Blueprint Process
  • Additional products/services require a new Blueprint ($1,200 each)—see Blueprint Process Terms

Note: The Blueprint Report is a Blueprint Process deliverable—not a Project Echo deliverable. It is delivered with your first copy order on each Blueprint setup. See Blueprint Process Terms for report delivery details.

💰 Your Investment

Service Fee: $3,500 per extraction (one-time payment)

What You Get for $3,500:

  • Pattern extraction from 1-2 pieces of winning copy (1,000-10,000 words total)
  • Project Echo Data Patterns report: A comprehensive strategic report documenting what patterns were extracted and how they were applied to your copy
  • Finished copy: Ready-to-deploy copy built using extracted patterns
  • Patterns on file: Request extracted patterns on any future copy you order—no re-extraction fee
  • No expiration: Extracted patterns remain on file indefinitely
  • Any product/service: Request patterns applied to copy for any product or service you choose

Report content, structure, and scope are custom-built from each extraction's unique data—no two reports are identical. WordsmithDirect may refine report format and presentation to improve deliverable quality. Significant changes will be communicated to active clients.

Required Pairing: Project Echo requires an active Blueprint foundation and must be ordered alongside at least one copy service (email, landing page, sales letter, etc.). The extraction fee covers pattern analysis—you receive finished copy plus your Project Echo Data Patterns report as your deliverables.

👥 Adding Audiences to Your Project

Important distinction: Adding more audiences affects your copy service price — not the $3,500 Project Echo fee. The extraction fee is always $3,500 flat. It does not change based on how many audiences you need.

There is no extra charge for adding audiences when you plan them upfront. Your project price reflects your industry and the number of audiences you need. Your formal Proposal will confirm your exact price before any work begins.

Planning Upfront vs. Adding After Delivery

The smartest move is always to identify all your audiences before your project begins. Here's why — and what it looks like in real numbers.

Example: Standard Landing Page + Project Echo ¡ Other Industry ¡ Upgrading from 2 Audiences to 3

Your first audience is always included free with your Blueprint. The Project Echo fee stays flat — it does not increase with audiences.

Step 1 — Original order:

ServicePrice Paid
Standard Landing Page ¡ Other Industry ¡ 2 audiences$4,875
Project Echo extraction fee$3,500

Step 2 — What 3 audiences would have cost at time of ordering:

ServiceUpfront Price
Standard Landing Page ¡ Other Industry ¡ 3 audiences$6,000

Upfront upgrade difference: $6,000 − $4,875 = $1,125

Step 3 — Cost to add that audience after delivery:

Cost ItemAmount
Upgrade difference$1,125
25% late-project surcharge+ $281
$200 project restart fee+ $200
Project Echo extraction feeNo charge — already extracted
Total to add 1 audience after delivery$1,606
Cost
Including 3rd audience at time of order$1,125
Adding 3rd audience after delivery$1,606
You save by planning ahead$481

Why does adding an audience later cost more?

The $200 restart fee covers reopening a closed project — pulling your files, re-briefing the work, and starting a new production phase.

The 25% surcharge covers the extra time and coordination of completing work in two phases instead of one. That's it. Nothing more.

Project Echo note: Once your patterns are extracted, they stay on file. No additional extraction fee is ever charged for adding audiences — now or in the future.

Best practice: Identify all your audiences during your Blueprint Strategy Session to get the best price.

📋 What You Need to Provide

Word Count Requirements:

  • Minimum: 1,000-1,500 words (need enough copy to identify patterns)
  • Maximum: 10,000 words (keeps patterns clear and focused)
  • Can combine 1-2 pieces to reach minimum or stay under maximum

What to Submit:

  • Copy that is PROVEN to convert (your own successful copy, competitor copy that's working, or winners from any industry)
  • File format: MS Word, PDF, or plain text
  • Exact file name confirmation during onboarding
  • Email copy to: brian@wordsmithdirect.com

Your Responsibilities:

  • Verify the copy you submit is proven to convert (has actual performance data)
  • Own the rights to submit the copy for analysis (or confirm it's publicly available competitor copy)
  • Complete 45 to 60 minute Blueprint Strategy Session before work begins (required for understanding your business context)
  • Complete industry-specific pre-session form before Blueprint Strategy Session (FinTech, Wellness, or Other Industry)
  • Provide clear file name and confirm submission

⏰ Timeline & Delivery

Starting Your Project:

  • Signed proposal/agreement plus full payment gets you on the project calendar
  • Once payment clears, you'll receive the onboarding form within 36 hours
  • Project execution begins 24 hours after you submit the completed onboarding form
  • Email your proven converting copy (file name confirmed in onboarding form) to brian@wordsmithdirect.com

Project Echo Timeline:

  • Total Timeline: 14-28 business days after payment and all information received
  • Breakdown: Standard copywriting timeline (7-21 business days) + extraction analysis (up to 7 business days maximum)
  • Simpler Projects: (landing pages, individual emails, opt-in pages) typically 14-17 business days total
  • Comprehensive Projects: (sales letters, VSL scripts, email sequences) typically 21-28 business days total
  • Note: Timeline depends on project scope, complexity, and completeness of information provided

What You'll Receive: Finished copy built using extracted patterns—ready to deploy, plus your Project Echo Data Patterns report documenting what patterns were applied and why. The proprietary extraction methodology itself remains confidential.

🚫 No Performance Guarantees

Project Echo has NO performance guarantees—just like regular copywriting services.

Why? Many factors affect results beyond copy alone:

  • Traffic quality and source
  • Your offer and pricing structure
  • Market timing and competition
  • Your deployment and testing methods
  • Other marketing campaigns running simultaneously
  • Overall business strategy and execution

What We Guarantee: You'll receive finished copy using proven psychology patterns. The patterns themselves have demonstrated effectiveness in the original source copy, but we cannot guarantee specific results in your unique business context.

🔄 Testing Multiple Extractions

Can You Order Multiple Extractions? Yes—whatever testing strategy you want is up to you.

How It Works:

  • Your Blueprint (foundation) stays the same across all tests—voice, audience, positioning remain consistent
  • Different Project Echo extractions provide different psychology patterns
  • Same Blueprint + different patterns = valid A/B testing of psychological approaches
  • Each extraction is $3,500 (no bulk discounts)

My Guidance on Multiple Extractions:

  • Start with ONE extraction first
  • Monitor performance carefully
  • See actual results in your business
  • Then decide if you want to test different psychology patterns
  • Track your results so you know what's working

🔄 Cancellations & Refunds

  • Before Work Begins: Cancel within 48 hours of payment for full refund
  • After Extraction Starts: No refunds once pattern analysis has begun
  • Work Product: All delivered copy becomes your property upon payment
  • Pattern Expiration: Never—once extracted, patterns remain on file indefinitely.
    Request them on any future copy order.

⚖️ Legal Protections

Intellectual Property:

  • You retain all rights to your original submitted copy
  • All finished copy we deliver becomes your property
  • Pattern extraction methodology remains proprietary to WordsmithDirect
  • You may use delivered copy across unlimited products/campaigns

Confidentiality:

  • Your business information and submitted copy remain confidential
  • We never share your copy with competitors or third parties
