# KNGHT

> KNGHT is a brand worldbuilding studio in Toronto, Ontario. It builds complete brand worlds for regulated consumer businesses: clinics, dental clinics, medspas, law firms, spirits, and food and drink. A world covers the name, the rules, the voice, the site, the space, the print and the systems that run it, all written inside the rules of the category.

KNGHT stands beside owners where one wrong word can cost a licence and one weak launch can cost a year. Every world shown was built by KNGHT's founder with the people who run it. KNGHT runs one of them itself: Art Colouring.

## The seven layers

Each world is built in this order. No layer is built before Lore.

1. Lore. Who you are, who you stand against, and what you are called.
2. Law. What you can say, what you can charge, and how it is packaged.
3. Language. Voice, posts and ads that get noticed and still pass review.
4. Map. Where people find you online, and how they book or buy.
5. Ground. The physical space: arrival, flow, signage and the screens on your walls.
6. Artifacts. Print, labels, packaging and forms: anything a customer can pick up.
7. Machinery. Intake, booking, follow-up and reporting, with AI doing the repetitive work and a person making the calls.

AI is the squire, not the knght: it drafts and reminds, and a person makes the call. See [the Machinery layer](https://knght.com/layers/machinery/#ai).

## Three ways to work with KNGHT

- [The Verdict](https://knght.com/verdict/) (fixed fee of $3,500 CAD, scored report in 5 business days from the kickoff call, fee credited to a Build started within 60 days): a scored audit of an existing brand world. Every layer is judged against the buyer and the regulator, with a ranked fix list and the order to do it in. Every world starts here.
- [The Build](https://knght.com/build/) (from $25,000 CAD for a full world; a single layer is quoted, and its dates set, after a free call): a complete world from zero, or the missing layers, delivered ready to launch.
- [The Keep](https://knght.com/keep/) (from $4,500 CAD a month, ad spend and printing billed separately): KNGHT runs the world after launch, including content, signage, campaigns, new locations and new products.
