# KNGHT

> KNGHT is a brand worldbuilding studio in Toronto, Ontario. It builds complete brand worlds for regulated consumer businesses: clinics, dental clinics, medspas, law firms, spirits, and food and drink. A world covers the name, the rules, the voice, the site, the space, the print and the systems that run it, all written inside the rules of the category. KNGHT is a Sergio Ho studio.

KNGHT works where one wrong word can cost a licence and one weak launch can cost a year. Every world shown was built by Sergio Ho, KNGHT's founder. KNGHT still runs some of them.

## The seven layers

Each world is built in this order. No layer is built before Lore.

1. Lore: who you are, who you stand against, and what you are called. The brief and the codex every other layer reads from.
2. Law: what you can say, what you can charge, and how it is packaged. Offers and claims checked against your regulator.
3. Language: voice, hooks, content and ads, written to stop the scroll and pass review.
4. Map: site, search and AI visibility. Where people find your world and how they enter it.
5. Ground: the physical space. Arrival, flow, signage and the screens on your walls.
6. Artifacts: print, labels, packaging and forms. Everything a customer holds.
7. Machinery: intake, booking, follow-up and reporting, with AI doing the repetitive work inside the rules. AI is the squire, not the knght: it drafts and reminds, and a person makes the call.

## Three ways to work with KNGHT

- The Verdict (fixed fee from $3,500 CAD, scored report in 5 business days from the kickoff call, fee credited to a Build started within 60 days): a scored audit of an existing brand world. Every layer is judged against the buyer and the regulator, with a ranked fix list and the order to do it in. Every engagement starts here.
- The Build (from $25,000 CAD for a full world, single layers from $7,500 CAD): a complete world from zero, or the missing layers, delivered ready to launch.
- The Keep (from $4,500 CAD a month, ad spend and printing billed separately): KNGHT runs the world after launch, including content, signage, campaigns, new locations and new products.
