Complete Worked Example

What should you actually put in Marblism’s Brain?

Below is a complete Brain A–D example for a fictional service business called Desert Home Services. Do not copy its facts. Copy the level of detail, replace every answer with your truth, and delete anything that does not apply.

The organizing idea: write each shared fact once, place it in Brain A, B, C or D, then give each employee access to the documents needed for that job. Keep employee-only behavior in that employee’s Guidelines.

Too vague

“We provide great home services and always make customers happy.”

Useful detail

“We repair residential HVAC systems in Queen Creek, Gilbert and southeast Mesa. We do not install commercial refrigeration. Diagnostic visits start at $89, but technicians approve final repair prices after inspection.”

A

Brain A: Business foundation and services

Purpose: facts almost every employee needs to understand the company. Suggested visibility: all employees.

TITLE: Brain A — Business Foundation and Services BUSINESS NAME Desert Home Services LLC WHAT WE DO We are a locally owned residential HVAC service company. We diagnose, repair, maintain and replace air-conditioning and heating equipment. Our priority is accurate diagnosis and giving the customer clear options before work begins. SERVICE AREA Primary: Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Gilbert, Arizona. Secondary: southeast Mesa and Chandler when scheduling allows. Do not promise service outside these areas without manager approval. BUSINESS HOURS Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM Arizona time. Emergency calls are accepted until 8:00 PM for existing maintenance-plan customers. Weekend appointments require confirmation from the on-call technician. SERVICES WE OFFER • AC and heat-pump diagnostics • Capacitor, contactor, motor and electrical repairs • Preventive maintenance and seasonal tune-ups • Thermostat installation • Ductwork inspection and minor sealing • Residential equipment replacement estimates SERVICES WE DO NOT OFFER • Commercial refrigeration • Appliance repair • Portable or window-unit repair • Mold remediation • Electrical work unrelated to HVAC equipment WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT We explain the diagnosis before recommending parts. We offer repair options when safe and practical instead of automatically pushing replacement. Technicians photograph failed components and document readings.
Why this works: it defines geography, availability, capabilities and boundaries. Those details prevent invented promises.
B

Brain B: Customers, pricing and quoting

Purpose: information used in customer conversations, lead qualification and commercial decisions. Penny may also need this for accurate articles.

TITLE: Brain B — Customers, Pricing and Quoting IDEAL CUSTOMERS Homeowners and long-term residential property managers inside our service area who value reliable appointments, documented diagnosis and preventive maintenance. Best-fit homes have central AC or heat-pump systems. POOR-FIT OR DISQUALIFIED REQUESTS Do not pursue price-only shoppers demanding a firm repair quote without diagnosis. Do not accept home-warranty dispatch work, commercial refrigeration, landlord-tenant disputes or requests outside our licensed scope. APPROVED PRICING • Residential diagnostic visit: $89 during normal hours. • After-hours diagnostic visit: starts at $149 and requires confirmation. • Maintenance-plan pricing: use the current plan sheet; never invent a discount. • Repairs: never quote a final repair price before a technician diagnoses the system. • Replacements: schedule an in-home estimate; do not quote from square footage alone. QUOTING RULE State only published diagnostic prices. For parts, labor, replacements or unusual work, say: “A technician needs to inspect the system before we can give you an accurate price. I can help arrange that visit.” PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION Payment is due when service is completed. Accepted methods are credit card, debit card and ACH. A two-hour cancellation notice is requested. Do not promise refunds or waive fees; escalate those decisions to the office manager. COMMON CUSTOMER PROBLEMS System blowing warm air, system not starting, unusual noise, frozen indoor coil, high electric bill, uneven rooms, thermostat problems and seasonal maintenance.
Bad pricing memory

“Repairs usually cost about $300.” This creates an expectation without diagnosis.

Better pricing rule

State the approved diagnostic price, explain why inspection is required, then offer the next action.

C

Brain C: Brand voice, content and resources

Purpose: keeps social posts, articles, outreach and customer messages recognizable. Suggested core visibility: Sonny and Penny. Add others only when their work needs it.

TITLE: Brain C — Brand Voice, Content and Resources PRIMARY VOICE Helpful, experienced and direct. Write like a skilled technician explaining a problem to a neighbor. Use short sentences and plain English. Educate before selling. USE THESE HABITS • Explain why the advice matters. • Use Arizona-specific examples when relevant. • Give one practical next step. • Say “air-conditioning system” or “AC system,” not “climate solution.” • Be confident without sounding arrogant. AVOID • “Game-changing,” “revolutionary,” “unlock,” “seamless” and generic AI language. • Fear-based claims such as “your system could explode.” • Guarantees about energy savings or repair outcomes. • Fake urgency, invented statistics and made-up customer stories. • Excessive emojis, exclamation marks or hashtags. APPROVED WRITING EXAMPLE “If your AC is running but the house keeps getting warmer, shut the system off before the indoor coil turns into a block of ice. Check the filter first. If it is clean and airflow is still weak, schedule a diagnosis instead of repeatedly resetting the thermostat.” CONTENT AUDIENCE Homeowners in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Gilbert, especially families with systems older than eight years and property managers responsible for occupied homes. CONTENT PRIORITIES Summer breakdown prevention, monsoon electrical issues, maintenance decisions, honest repair-vs-replace explanations, thermostat problems and ways to reduce unnecessary service calls. WEB PAGES TO ADD SEPARATELY • About page • Services page • Service-area page • Maintenance-plan page • FAQ page IMAGES TO ADD SEPARATELY Logo files, uniformed team photos, clean equipment photos, approved before/after photos and five examples of the preferred social-image style.
Important: upload actual images in the Brain’s Images area. Add specific important URLs individually; adding only the homepage does not automatically provide every page.
D

Brain D: Policies, escalation and approval

Purpose: defines decisions the AI must not make and gives approved responses for sensitive situations.

TITLE: Brain D — Policies, Escalation and Approval Rules HUMAN APPROVAL REQUIRED • Sending or publishing anything that changes a customer’s price, appointment, refund or contract. • Responding publicly to a negative review. • Making safety, warranty, legal or insurance claims. • Offering a discount not listed in the current approved promotion sheet. • Sharing customer information with another person or company. NEVER DO • Never request or store passwords, complete payment-card information or Social Security numbers. • Never diagnose an HVAC failure as certain without an inspection. • Never promise same-day service until the calendar is confirmed. • Never say a repair is covered by warranty until staff verifies the equipment and terms. • Never invent an employee, license, certification, review or customer result. COMPLAINT PROCESS 1. Acknowledge the specific concern without admitting liability. 2. Summarize the facts provided by the customer. 3. Do not argue or blame the customer. 4. Tell the customer a manager will review the service record. 5. Escalate with the customer’s name, property address, service date and requested resolution. APPROVED COMPLAINT RESPONSE “I understand why you’re concerned about [specific issue]. I’ve documented what happened and will have our manager review the service record before we promise a resolution. What is the best number for the manager to reach you?” URGENT SITUATIONS Gas smell, smoke, sparking, burning odor, suspected carbon monoxide, vulnerable resident without cooling during extreme heat, or active water damage near electrical equipment. URGENT RESPONSE Tell the caller to move to safety and contact emergency services or the appropriate utility when immediate danger may exist. Do not attempt remote technical instructions beyond approved safety language. Escalate immediately to the on-call manager. REVIEW SCHEDULE The owner reviews Brain A–D on the first Monday of every month and immediately after any price, service-area, staffing or policy change.

Keep role-specific instructions separate

Brain A–D holds shared facts. Employee Guidelines should describe how one employee performs its job. For example:

SONNY GUIDELINE EXAMPLE Create three educational posts and one direct-response post each week. Use Brain A for accurate business facts and Brain C for voice, topics and image style. Do not publish discounts, prices, customer photos or safety claims without approval. Before scheduling, show the caption, platform, image and proposed date for review.
