the authenticity audit is a digital workbook for creators, entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, freelancers and personal brands who want to identify the experiences, perspectives, stories and proof that make their content uniquely theirs — especially when using AI to create and publish content.
AI makes generic content easier to produce. That makes your lived experience, perspective, stories, evidence and specific point of view more valuable. AI can help you create faster. The Authenticity Audit helps you figure out what is actually yours before you hand it to AI.

I'm Des, founder of Mindset Vitamins, a retired USAF veteran of 23 years who works in federal compliance and AI governance. I watch the same content problem show up in the AI systems I work with every day, so I built this workbook to help you name what is already yours.
