The mechanism

The chart is a single bar split into three parts by size. The biggest part, 55%, is the market research you get from every guest conversation. The next part, 38%, is content that keeps working over time. A thin slice, 3 to 7%, is new business relationships - the part everyone aims for and the part you can't force. The returns you can count on are the ones the usual playbook treats as a side effect.

Part of Publishing. Credibility and demand before the sales conversation.
