The Babelfish Method

The Babelfish Method is the five-layer system that turns raw buyer truth into commercial traction without noise, guessing or politics.

It shows you where your story breaks, what your buyers actually hire you for, and what your team must stop assuming before your next €100K decision.

What does it cost your business?


No view of what buyers REALLY need —> €50–€130K per sales convo
Marketing hire —> €50K + 6 months time setback
Rebrand without foundation —> €30–€70K + brand dilution

Where’s your business bleeding money?

layer 1 — the fault line

‘What’s leaking?’

Every scale-up hides structural cracks: places where story, product and market drift apart. In the past 20+ years in IT I’ve detected twelve Fault Lines that sabotage growth.

The Fault Line System diagnoses:

  • outdated assumptions

  • weak buying triggers

  • conflicting internal narratives

  • the points where deals silently die

output: a precise map of what’s leaking revenue, trust and momentum.
use: board alignment, prioritisation, investment decisions.

layer 2 — jobs to be done

‘What are your buyers actually hoping to fix?’

People don’t buy features. They hire a solution to remove a frustration, risk or nightmare.

The jobs to be done-framework is developed by Harvard Business school and reveals:

  • what real jobs your solution is hired for

  • the triggers that start the buying journey

  • the fears, risks and internal politics shaping decisions

  • why you win deals (and why you lose them)

output: messaging and positioning that land without push.
use: campaigns, sales enablement, narrative, product bets.

layer 3 — the perceptions

‘What is the emotional logic behind buyer decisions?’

B2B buyers are not rational. They simply justify their emotions with rational language.

In this layer we hand you:

  • what buyers believe is true

  • what they fear will go wrong

  • which convictions block action

  • which insights finally move them forward

output: three commercial narratives that buyers feel first and think second.
use: content, sales decks, founder narrative, pitch, change management.

layer 4 — the proof points

‘What single source of truth are we working from?’

The one and only solidified playbook for your marketing and sales reps. One database with:

  • buyer-language quotes

  • contextual case snippets

  • ROI stories

  • objections backed by evidence

  • competitive differentiators

  • “why now” triggers

Everything documented in your central intelligence library.

output: database in Noiton - or pdf’s if you prefer.
use: chatbots, sales, content strategy, pitch decks, campaigns, product prioritisation.

layer 5 — the squad (AI & human)

‘Who will help us scale?’

Research without execution dies in Google Drive. Execution without research burns money.

Babelfish brings the system together:

  • a custom AI strategist trained on your buyer truth

  • a vetted specialist squad (copy, profitability, martech, product, design, photography)

  • zero misalignment: these are vetted, skilled experts

output: strategy and execution that compound.
use: scaling, acceleration, de-risking commercial decisions.
