Stop losing clients to people who aren’t as good as you

“I recently went through a pitch call that I just couldn’t describe my value in the most effective manner.”

You help clients see what they can’t see. You diagnose their blind spots. You’ve done it for years.

But when someone asks what you do?

You stumble.


“I’ve been recording stuff for 20 years. Days and days of transcripts. Actually, I could just turn it over—just make products very, very quickly now. This helps me simplify.”

—Ev

“One of the things that’s always been very challenging for me is to explain what I do. But now that I can see it a little bit more clearly... now I have a process that can be stamped out.”

—Jay


You don’t have a positioning problem. You have a visibility problem.

You’ve spent years building expertise that works. Clients get results. They refer others.

But when someone asks, “What makes you different?” you fumble. Not because you’re bad at explaining. Because you got so good, you forgot how.

Classic case of the cobbler’s children having no shoes.

You do this for your clients every day. Who does it for you?

“I’m hesitant to even write this testimonial because Max and the Cognitive Fingerprint have been my secret weapon. It’s allowed me to see patterns, blindspots and frameworks I would have never spotted before. He’s made me look cool in front of my friends and wow’d my partners and stakeholders and overall made me an AI practitioner who gets great results. His system has allowed me to add massive value to my businesses and have gotten me into deals that I wouldn’t have otherwise had access to.”

—Mike David, Entrepreneur


“AI went from being this generic disappointment to being a regular thinking partner. Max didn’t just show me how to use AI. He taught me how to make the invisible visible—things I didn’t even know that I was doing or saying. I come out smarter and richer every time we connect.”

—David Limiero, Founder, Edens View Coaching


“Hey man, your process crushes. I do this level of strategy in my current position and the level of differentiation your process provides is above and beyond.”


“I’ve actually had people cry on calls—because when I show them what they do, and how smart they are, and what their hidden genius really is... they just can’t see it themselves. It has such a profound effect.”

—Max Bernstein

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

You’ve spent years building expertise that works brilliantly, but you can’t explain how.

You know there’s a system behind your success. You just can’t access it consciously.

You’re tired of:

  • Saying “I just know” when asked about your methodology

  • Losing deals to people who aren’t as good as you but packaged it better

  • Recreating your approach from scratch with every client

You’re ready to:

  • See the patterns you use unconsciously

  • Turn “intuition” into articulable frameworks

  • Finally have words for what you’ve been doing all along


I’m Max Bernstein. I make invisible expertise visible.

I’ve spent all of 2025 developing a system that uses AI to detect patterns experts can’t see while they’re running them. The linguistic fingerprints. The decision sequences. The unconscious competence operating below conscious awareness.

The prompts in this library are the same tools I use with clients. Now they’re yours.

  • Free subscribers: Join if you’re curious about the science of invisible expertise.

  • Paid subscribers: Upgrade if you’re ready to extract your own patterns using the same methodology I use with clients.
