Step 1 · DIAGNOSE THE RACE

Campaign Audit — $99

48-hour turnaround. Delivered as a written report.

AI-augmented analysis of your race, delivered as a polished written report. You fill out our online intake. Within 48 hours you receive an audit built around your specific race — the votes you need, the risks that could end your campaign, the quick wins available right now, and a concrete recommendation on what to do next.

• Race snapshot — office, jurisdiction, election date, political context
• SWOT analysis specific to your race
• Two viability scores — where you are today, and where you get with ICS behind you
• The Win Number — votes needed to win in your jurisdiction

• Top 3 issues in the race and how your platform maps against them
• Risk mitigation — the three threats most likely to end your campaign, and how each is closed
• Competitor profile — background, coffers, and path to victory for each opponent

Questions candidates ask.

Q. Do you take Republican or Democratic candidates?
A. No. This is our foundational covenant. ICS works with independent, third-party, and reform-minded candidates only.

Q. Do you guarantee electoral outcomes?
A. No. Nobody credible does. We commit fully to the work we deliver. You shouldn't hire anyone who promises a win.

Q. How does pricing work?
A. The audit is $99, publicly priced. Every other engagement is priced to scope after a scoping conversation with our team. We reply to inquiries within one business day.
