Blueprint Blackbox Venture

Blueprint Blackbox Venture

What if there was a technology that allowed you to exchange human motivation?



We already know one. It’s money.


But Cona envisioned something new - a private digital currency that could intelligently incentivize behaviors, not just exchange value.


They approached Blueprint to distill their technical complexity into strategic resonance.

Problem:


Cona's intricate concept obscured the core human insight. People struggled to grasp and remember their offer.


True genius is taking the complex and making it simple yet meaningful. For example, everyone knows Einstein's equation e=mc2 despite the complexity of the proof.



Process:


Blueprint employed an "ai-augmented semantic design process" to uncover Cona's essence. This project embodied our blueprint blackbox approach of designing businesses around meaningful narratives. We:


  • Interviewed the Cona team

  • Mapped the semantic landscape with LLM embeddings and cluster charts

  • Abstracted the language into objective descriptors

  • Reframed “digital private currency” as a "motivation exchange technology"

  • Used AI to rapidly create strategic narratives in the new space

  • Tested for memorability with target users

  • Iterated until we struck a chord that stuck

Solution:


When all was said and done, painting complete, linseed oil dry, we arrived at something that accurately represented the meaning of Cona in people’s minds but was also memorable and therefore it was likely for them to develop a relationship with Cona and tell their friends about it.

Action-Driven, Reward-Given: That’s Cona Cash


We are currently working with the Cona team to (a) build out their brand in a way that aligns with this new ‘north star’ and (b) make sure that the promises made transfer into every touchpoint of their service.
