# SEMalytics

> SEMalytics builds COS (Communications Optimization System) — a B2B SaaS measurement tool that scores marketing and sales content against four validated psychology frameworks (Big Five/OCEAN personality, HAPE engagement, Strategic Clarity, Framing Strategy) so creators can see which buyer personalities a message reaches and which it misses. Most B2B messaging only resonates with ~32% of the audience because creators unconsciously write for their own personality type. COS makes that mismatch visible before publication.

COS scores draft copy against the Big Five (OCEAN) personality model, grounded in 860+ peer-reviewed papers. Solo-founded by David Pedersen in Seattle (25+ years B2B marketing at Amazon, Alaska Airlines, 23andMe, Whitepages).
