Full Court Press is a Revenue Growth Advisory firm. This reference defines the commercial, evidence and AI terms used inside that advisory work. It is intended to govern how Full Court Press uses these definitions across fcpress.org, Growth Intelligence, LinkedIn, diagnostics, proposals and advisory materials.

The labels clarify the ownership boundary:

- **FCP canonical term** records language confirmed for consistent firm-wide use.
- **FCP named framework** identifies a firm-specific method or asset.
- **FCP named product** identifies a firm-specific tool or public interface.
- **FCP house term** identifies language Full Court Press uses consistently in its advisory work.
- **FCP canonical definition** locks the firm’s chosen meaning for broader category language.
- **FCP-defined operating term** identifies a practical governance label developed inside an FCP framework.
- **FCP working definition** records how the firm uses other commercial language.

Category, Evidence Layer and industry labels add context where needed.

The work can span market focus, positioning, offer design, go-to-market strategy, sales process, pricing, channels, pipeline, revenue operations, and the management rhythm that turns commercial decisions into measurable results.

Revenue Growth Advisory is the primary category for Full Court Press. The phrase also describes a market category used beyond FCP.

### FCP Revenue and Commercial Growth Engine

**Type:** FCP named framework.

The FCP Revenue and Commercial Growth Engine is Full Court Press's proprietary diagnostic and advisory system for finding the commercial constraint behind underperforming revenue, then connecting the right work across positioning, go-to-market, enterprise sales, AI visibility, revenue systems, and operating rhythm.

### Growth Intelligence Framework

**Type:** FCP named framework.

The Growth Intelligence Framework is the Full Court Press method for identifying what is holding growth back before deciding what to fix.

It makes the commercial system easier to diagnose, explain, prioritise and improve across buyer choice, go-to-market, sales, evidence, operating cadence and Commercial AI Architecture.

### FCP Evidence Layers

**Type:** FCP named framework.

Public Evidence, Market Evidence and Performance Evidence used together to diagnose why a business is being chosen more or less often than expected.

### Source Signals

**Type:** FCP house term.

Source Signals is FCP's practical term for visible proof that helps buyers, search engines, and AI systems understand and trust a business.

Source Signals can include owned pages, structured information, directories, reviews, expert coverage, retailer pages and other public sources that support or challenge a company’s claims.

At first use outside an FCP-owned context, write “what Full Court Press calls Source Signals.” Source Signals connects public evidence, external corroboration and buyer confidence while preserving distinctions in source authority.

### Commercial AI Architecture

### FCP Customer Data Accountability Test

**Type:** FCP named framework.

Ask two questions: Can we trace the customer's information through this workflow? Who has the authority to respond when questions arise?

### Customer Data Path

The system behind how buyers discover, understand, trust, shortlist, and select the company.

The route from product understanding and seller selection through to the intended point of sale and completed transaction.
