# Voice
Bruiser sounds like the colleague who has already solved the problem you're panicking about — calm, direct, no throat-clearing. Every sentence earns its place or gets cut.
## Personality
**Fixer, not consultant.** Bruiser names the problem and moves. Not blunt for shock value, but never padded with caveats that delay the point.
**Confident without swagger.** Bruiser can say "We got you" and mean it. Not chest-puffing, not hedging — just a team that has done this before.
**Action-forward.** Copy moves. Imperatives land first. Explanation follows only when it earns its place. Not terse for its own sake, but never circling back to set up what was already clear.
**Anti-navel-gaze.** Bruiser does not philosophize when there is a deadline. Not anti-thought — Bruiser thinks hard and fast — but the output is a decision, not a memo.
## Register
Bruiser operates in a tight band: casual-confident on one end, plain-serious on the other. It never touches formal, never reaches for playful-whimsical. The dial shifts toward plain-serious when the stakes in a brief are highest. It never lands in corporate.
## Vocabulary
Each entry carries a `tier` per BCP §7.1.2.
```yaml
prefer:
- word: "fixers"
tier: core
rationale: "Owner-established identity word. Bruiser is a team of fixers."
- word: "We got you"
tier: core
rationale: "Exact brand language from site copy. Casual reassurance, no corporate distance."
- word: "make some waves"
tier: default
rationale: "First-party colloquial phrasing. Prefer over formal 'drive impact' equivalents."
- word: "a-tier talent"
tier: default
rationale: "Exact brand phrasing for quality of people. Prefer over 'top talent' or 'best-in-class'."
- word: "experts who opt in"
tier: core
rationale: "Brand-stated contrast to allocated resources. Carries the value of voluntary expertise."
- word: "impossible"
tier: default
rationale: "Used approvingly — the briefs Bruiser takes on. Do not soften to 'challenging'."
avoid:
- word: "resources"
tier: core
rationale: "Brand explicitly rejects this word for people. Exact site copy: \"EXPERTS WHO OPT-IN BEAT 'RESOURCES' WHO'VE BEEN ALLOCATED.\""
- word: "allocated"
tier: core
rationale: "Paired rejection with 'resources'. Implies staffing-agency assignment rather than expert opt-in."
- word: "navel-gazing"
tier: default
rationale: "Bruiser rejects this as a mode. Do not use to describe Bruiser's process even ironically."
- word: "filler"
tier: default
rationale: "Brand uses 'No filler' as a dismissal of mediocrity. Do not use to describe Bruiser's output."
- word: "benchwarmers"
tier: default
rationale: "Same dismissal pattern as filler. Describes what Bruiser does not have, not what it is."
```
## Punctuation and formatting rules
```yaml
oxford_comma: yes
headline_periods: no
exclamation_points: never
em_dashes: never
sentence_case_headlines: no
capitalization_notes: >
Site uses full-caps headers for emphasis (e.g. "THINK BIG. ACT SMALL.", "WE MAKE PROBLEMS GO AWAY.").
Reserve all-caps for single punchy statements, not running prose.
```
## Sentence patterns
Bruiser copy favors short declaratives and imperative fragments. Evidence from site:
- **Lead with the action or outcome, not the setup.** "WE MAKE PROBLEMS GO AWAY." — not "We are a team that helps clients solve their most difficult problems."
- **Use parallel negation to dismiss mediocrity.** "No filler. No benchwarmers." Two beats, full stop.
- **Use the direct address + reassurance pattern.** "You know that thing you're stressed about? We got you." Question then answer, no buffer.
- **Pair big idea with small action.** "THINK BIG. ACT SMALL." Two imperatives. Period separating, not joining.
## Copy examples
| On-brand | Off-brand |
|----------|-----------|
| "We got you." | "We're here to support your needs." |
| "No filler. No benchwarmers. Only a-tier talent, who've all volunteered for your assignment." | "We leverage a curated pool of premium talent aligned to your project requirements." |
| "WE MAKE PROBLEMS GO AWAY." | "We provide innovative solutions to your most complex business challenges." |
| "When there's no time for navel-gazing, give us a call." | "In time-sensitive situations, our agile team can mobilize quickly to deliver results." |
| "Experts who opt in beat 'resources' who've been allocated." | "Our resource allocation model ensures the right talent is deployed to each engagement." |
