How this works

This is a private review room for your project. Pietro and his team have prepared deliverables for you to review at each milestone (we call them "gates"). When it's your turn, the active gate appears below.

Take your time. Open the supporting documents linked in each gate. Then, depending on the gate type: select your preferred option, approve as-is, or leave specific feedback. Pietro is notified the moment you submit. Your choice is logged immutably — useful if there's ever any disagreement about what was decided.

Locked gates below are placeholders for upcoming milestones — they'll unlock as we progress.

Stage 1: Discovery & Archetypes

Review the brand analysis below. Your approval locks these strategic decisions and unlocks the design stage.

Discovery & Archetypes

Reviewing

Review the brand archetype, the fonts & palette direction and the section flow. Your approval locks these strategic foundations.

1 · Archetypal analysis

Brand persona and market positioning.

Primary archetype: The Sage (the guide who points the way) + The Explorer (navigation and golden-age craft)
The guide who has flown this route before. Timeless craft over tech noise, the horizon ahead, one green line of signal.
Market positioning

Deux North is the guide and the client is the hero of the story. The name carries the whole idea, two norths, the fixed geographic north that is a business goal set in concrete, and the shifting magnetic north that is the plan you adapt as the ground moves. That gives the brand a wide identity, helping a business build its digital advantage and get ahead of what is coming, with one loud and checkable hook to get discovered by strangers, whether AI names you or a competitor. The Sage register keeps the site plain, honest and unflustered, including the times the answer is not yet, which is the opposite of how this category usually sells. The Explorer layer is what stops it looking like every other AI agency, golden age of aviation and timeless craft instead of robots and neon, a brand people are curious enough to look up. Human meets AI, the scale is the machine and the judgment stays human.

2 · Fonts & palette

Visual language and design rationale.

Deux North - your digital advantage
You know AI matters. Do you know where it actually fits your business?
Deux North is your digital advantage. Let's figure out what you actually need.

The logo in review sets the rules, a black N mark with a diagonal cut on warm paper, a green line in the diagonal, and DEUX NORTH set in spaced uppercase. Type has to live with that lockup, so headings use Cabinet Grotesk, a display grotesk with mid-century bones that holds wide-tracked capitals the way airline and motoring identities of that era did, without reading as a startup logo. Switzer carries the body, neutral and precise at small sizes, which matters for pricing tables, FAQ blocks and the live audit results. We reserve an editorial serif for pull quotes and the honest one-line statements, so the human voice has its own register while the machine layer stays clean. We keep high contrast display serifs out of the headline role on purpose, they are now the default look of AI startups, and this brand wins by not looking like them. On colour, the signal is the green taken straight from the line inside the logo diagonal, so brand and site agree. Warm paper is the base rather than white, ink black carries the dark immersive bands, and one green does all the signalling, on buttons, on live audit states and on the diagonal motif. No neon, no purple gradients, no chrome. Fine rules, generous space, grain and real photography do the rest of the work.
3 · Section flow

Page structure and purpose of each section.

Hero, the questionOpen with the buyer's own thought, you know AI matters but do you know where it actually fits. Sub carries the descriptor, your digital advantage. A small muted line links the three areas quietly. One button, find your bottleneck. The job here is to orient and route, not to sell one offer.
Find your bottleneck, with NorthThe interactive centrepiece. Tell us where it hurts and we will name the first move. North is introduced inside the chat, never on the button, asks a few plain questions, works out what to fix first, captures the email and ends on booking a strategy call.
The problemName what is actually going wrong, AI is not the problem, not knowing where it fits is. Scroll-driven beat that shows the real cost, hours lost between apps and sensitive information pasted into public chatbots just to get through the day.
The approachThe golden thread, AI does the work and your team keeps the judgment. We start from the bottleneck rather than a tool, and we say not yet when that is the honest answer. This is where trust is earned.
Two ways we helpGet found and put AI to work, each a short promise linking to its own hero page. A smaller secondary line offers the workshop for anyone who would rather build it themselves, kept deliberately below the two, not framed as a third way.
Run by an expert, powered by a systemCredibility without invented proof. A specialist sets the strategy and checks every piece before it goes live, the system gives the reach of a whole team. No testimonials or numbers are claimed because none are verified yet.
CloseTurn hesitation into the reason to act, not sure where to start is exactly the point, and standing still is the expensive part. Repeats the single action, find your bottleneck.
Common questionsThree to five entry-level questions, what Deux North does, where to start, whether AI knowledge is needed, what it costs. Answer-first formatting with schema so AI engines can lift it cleanly, plus a link to the full FAQ.
Footer and Chat with NorthNavigation to every page, contact, and the quiet site-wide chat launcher pinned to the bottom of the screen. Same North, two ways in, and it never auto-opens or interrupts. Present, not pushy.
