When Your Membership Is Struggling, But Why Is Unclear

Every membership business craves the same three outcomes: growth, engagement, and retention. When they’re working, they behave like a single, self-propelling engine.

But when something is off, everything feels harder: launches underperform, engagement decays, and members quietly slip away.

You’re shipping content, events, and updates — but things still feel harder than it should.

You’re not sure where the real issue is — messaging, experience, content or communication — but something is holding you back.

Every fix feels like a guess, and you don’t have time for guesses.

This diagnostic gives you a clean, data‑backed answer to one question: Where is my membership system breaking down and throttling results?

The Diagnostic Delivers

A Sharp Scan of Nine Pillars, and the Four Core Engines That Drive World-Class Memberships.

Under the hood, your membership runs on nine pillars: Promise, Program, Deliver, Capacity, Culture, Visibility, Attract, Retain, and Regenerate.

This diagnostic runs a quick yes/no scan across those pillars and identifies which engine is your primary breakpoint:

Positioning & Demand Engine → Growth falters when the right people can’t see, understand, or feel your offer strongly enough to join.

Journey & Delivery Engine → New members stall, long‑term members lose interest, and your team burns out trying to keep everything moving.

Culture & Retention Engine → Growth becomes remedial as members struggle to find their place, get results, and churn cliffs become the norm.

Regeneration & Evolution Engine → Communities are not static ecosystems. Without these systems in place, issues repeat and improvements don’t stick.

Waiting For You Inside

Spend 3 minutes answering some simple yes/no questions and you’ll walk away with:

A Clear Breakpoint Diagnosis: The exact engine that’s breaking first in your membership.
A Breakdown of Why It Matters : How that breakpoint shows up - and why other fixes haven’t worked.
Focused Next Steps: Targeted moves you can start this week, with options for support.

How The Diagnostic Works

Answer Quick Yes/No Questions: Rate your membership across the nine pillars of scalable growth.
We Calculate Your Breakpoint: The diagnostic identifies which engine is the weakest link right now.
Get Your Results and Next Moves: You’ll see your primary breakpoint, how it impacts growth/engagement/retention, and the highest‑leverage actions to take next.

This Diagnostic Is Built For

Membership and community founders with real members and recurring revenue, but uneven performance.
Operators and program leads responsible for keeping a community or membership healthy over time.
Community pros who suspect the problem is systemic, not just “we should post more.”

If you’re pre‑launch or still validating your core offer, this tool will be overkill. It’s designed for ecosystems that already exist and need to run better.

It's Not a Personality Quiz

The Membership Breakpoint Diagnostic™ is built from patterns surfaced across dozens of real ecosystems — from creative memberships and professional communities to education platforms and specialist consultancies. The pillars and engines come straight out of the Massive Impact Framework, the same architecture behind Bottled Lightning’s ecosystem audits and accelerators.

Let's Get Started

Who Built This

My name is Starlight Mundy. I’m the founder of Bottled Lightning and creator of the Massive Impact Framework™.

I help six‑ and seven‑figure memberships and community‑led teams fix churn cliffs, ignite engagement, and build proof‑driven systems that scale.

The Membership Breakpoint Diagnostic™ comes from patterns surfaced across dozens of ecosystems - from education memberships and professional networks to specialist consultancies. Over and over, the same silent breakpoints showed up: weak engines that stalled momentum, burned out leaders, and bled revenue.

This tool makes those blind spots visible so you can stop grinding for incremental wins and start running a membership that compounds.
