How Epigraph Media brings five prototypes to all-hands instead of one idea in a doc
Epigraph Media - the self-serve advertising platform behind epigraphmedia.com - ran two Growthtyping sprints against its real experiment backlog. Ten on-brand prototypes came out the other side, covering newsletter growth, sponsor onboarding, and network conversion, and the team finally had artifacts to react to instead of bullets to imagine.
10 on-brand prototypes across two sprints
~$2.38 total generation cost
3-4 days to minutes per evaluable prototype
Before Growthtyping, getting from a growth idea to something the team could actually evaluate took 3-4 days. I'd brainstorm the sponsor ROI concept, jump between Claude, ChatGPT, and other tools to shape the mockup, then spend the real time making it functional and consistent with our Epigraph Media brand.
Growthtyping just gets it. It already understands what Epigraph Media does, who we reach, how we talk about the network, and what our brand should look like. It suggests relevant growth ideas and turns them into on-brand prototypes without me explaining our typography, our publications, or our advertise flow from scratch every time.
Now I can bring five credible growth prototypes to our weekly all-hands instead of one rough idea in a doc.
The setup
Epigraph Media's growth backlog looked like most PLG backlogs: more ideas than the roadmap could hold, each one waiting for a designer sprint and an engineering ticket just to become visible. The experiment cadence was capped not by ideas but by how long it took to make any single idea evaluable - typically three to four days of tool-hopping and manual brand work per concept.
Growthtyping ingested the Epigraph Media brand once - design tokens, tone of voice, and an ICP of founders, marketers, and operators who advertise across the publication network. From there, every experiment rendered on-brand automatically.
Two sprints, ten prototypes
The first sprint produced five prototypes: a live social-proof ticker, an interactive ROI calculator, a purchasing-power-parity pricing banner, a plan recommender quiz, and an in-app onboarding checklist. Total model-generation cost was $1.53. The ROI calculator came out strongest - clear sliders, a large projected-value output, and believable Epigraph Media copy tied directly to sponsor conversion.
The second sprint stayed focused on newsletter growth, activation, and advertiser onboarding: a usage-based price slider, a pricing objections FAQ, a customer logo wall, a personalized welcome survey, and a waitlist with a referral ladder. Each carried a specific validation question. Total cost: $0.85.
What changed
Tomas showed the prototypes to the Epigraph Media team, and the team loved the output. The prioritization conversation changed shape: instead of debating whether an idea might feel on-brand, the team reacted to a clickable artifact that already was. Weak directions surfaced their objections in minutes - a generic quiz here, a placeholder publication name there - before any of them cost a sprint.
Every render was exported as real files through the normal product flow, and every cent was logged in the render ledger. The remaining proof to capture is the sharpest one: which prototype gets greenlit, shipped, or killed with a better objection because it existed.
