Seven ways to
interfere.

Jump directly to the machine you need. Wandering remains available for anyone determined to turn indecision into an experience.

Tool 01 / Rebuilt with actual options

Poster Violence Studio.

Eight layouts, eight palettes, five textures, five type treatments and several ways to make a perfectly reasonable message look like public unrest.

The preview is deliberately browser-friendly. The exports are full-size and contain no committee approval layer.

ECSTA.SI / CONTROLLED VISUAL DAMAGE

MAKE IT UNIGNORABLE

ECSTA.SI / 05
What changed from the bland version

The old machine changed a colour and exported the same rectangle. This one changes composition, hierarchy, format, texture and type treatment. Randomise is controlled enough to produce usable accidents instead of merely relocating text with confidence.

Tool 02 / Drop 001 rebuilt

Bad Idea Generator.

Not one sentence selected from a list. A full startup accident with a name, audience, business model, features, fatal flaw, funding ask and just enough plausibility to concern everyone.

The URL preserves the seed and settings, allowing colleagues to inspect the exact moment judgement left the building.

Pre-revenue / Post-confidenceECSTA.SI / VENTURE INCIDENT

Minor Protocol

A premium object for an audience researchers had politely ignored.

Unnecessary features
    Fatal flaw

    Why it might accidentally work

    Funding ask€480k and somebody else’s mailing list
    How irresponsible is it?

    Low chaos produces ideas that could survive an awkward local-business meeting. Maximum chaos adds wearables, blockchain, rituals and investor language. None of this is investment advice, unless your existing advice is somehow worse.

    Tool 03 / Agency language removed

    Brief Translator.

    Paste the client phrase. Receive usable direction and the version everyone was thinking but wisely kept away from the meeting transcript.

    The draft remains in your browser. ECSTA.SI does not require a database full of sentences containing “just one small thing.”

    Usable direction
    Establish a contemporary visual system with stronger typography, deliberate spacing and one memorable graphic device.

    Client has requested rectangles produced after 2020.

    What the machine can and cannot do

    It recognises common brief language and maps it to practical design decisions. It cannot establish the audience, budget or approval process when nobody has supplied them. Sadly, JavaScript remains unable to chair the meeting.

    Tool 04 / Drop 003 prototype

    Brand Bullshit Detector.

    Paste brand copy. The machine scores buzzwords, vague claims and sentences wearing a lanyard for no obvious reason.

    Analysis happens locally. Your transformational ecosystem remains mercifully unharvested.

    Bullshit concentration0
    Awaiting corporate fog
    Detected offences
    Cleaner version

    Paste something first. Even a mission statement deserves due process.

    Scoring notes

    The score weights specific buzzwords, vague outcome claims, sentence length and repeated offences. It is not a grammar checker. A grammatically perfect paragraph can still be an immaculate monument to saying nothing.

    Tool 05 / Forecasting human behaviour

    Scope Creep Calculator.

    Adjust the known hazards. Receive a risk score, meeting estimate and timeline multiplier before “one tiny change” begins reproducing.

    This is not accounting advice. It is barely emotional preparation.

    Define approval ownership and freeze the brief before anyone discovers voice notes.

    Why WhatsApp adds ten points

    Because feedback distributed across voice notes, screenshots and unrelated conversations does not disappear. It merely returns later wearing the phrase “I mentioned this before.”

    Tool 06 / Slogan interrogation

    Tagline Stress Test.

    Enter a tagline. It will be checked for clarity, clichés, length and the disturbing absence of anything specific.

    Clarity score0
    Evidence pending
    Findings

      Enter a tagline and permit the machine to become judgemental.

      A high score does not mean a good brand

      It means the line is structurally clear and avoids obvious clichés. Distinctiveness still requires an idea, which remains inconveniently resistant to sliders.

      Tool 07 / Productive sabotage

      Creative Constraint Generator.

      Choose the territory and chaos level. Receive a compact creative challenge designed to stop the first obvious idea winning by exhaustion.

      Use it when the first answer is obvious, tasteful and therefore in grave danger of already existing.

      “I understand it, and I have not seen that before.”
      Constraints are not decoration

      A useful constraint removes a comfortable answer, limits production or forces the main message to become clearer. “Make it cool” is not a constraint. It is weather.
