Signature Mechanism Lab

Make the three words do real work.

The source’s differentiator is a question: what do Roommate, Silent and Bureau actually change in the customer expectation?

Define the working promise
Describe a narrow first customer, not the total addressable market.
One recurring coordination job is easier to test than “better roommate relationships.”
Do not imply secrecy or avoidance of urgent communication.
The administrative mechanism should be observable in the experience.
Avoid clinical, legal, safety or guaranteed relationship outcomes.

Claim boundary

Make a promise you can test, not a benefit you wish were true.

FTC business guidance says advertising claims must be truthful, non-deceptive/unfair, and evidence-based; specialized services may face additional rules.

Testable

Workflow claim

“Submit one household request asynchronously and record acknowledgement and close-out.” This can be observed in a pilot.

Needs evidence

Outcome claim

“Reduces conflict,” “saves money,” “improves relationships,” or “protects your rights” would need appropriate evidence and, depending on the claim, specialist review.

Out of scope

Authority claim

The bureau is not a court, mediator, therapist, emergency line, property manager or legal service by default.

Substitute map

The real competitor may be a habit, not a startup.

Minimum Proof should record what the customer would otherwise do.
