Taste lock for studios

Stampcite

Opening soon

Clients brief with adjectives. Stampcite stamps them, refuses to start until five named pins are seated, then writes constraints and locks a printable taste sheet. Trial is seven days. Desk is $39/mo.

Brand studios, independent designers, boutique web shops, and photographers who do art direction — people who waste a week guessing which blue the client meant.

What you get

  • A lock, not a board: adjectives are stamped; the bolt will not turn below five named pins.
  • Translate: each banned word becomes 1–3 constraints that cite the pins by name.
  • A locked, printable taste sheet. Later mush (“make it pop”) is flagged and cannot enter without a new pin.

How it works

  1. 01Paste the client note. Banned tokens stamp themselves. Named brands (Apple) stay candidates, not pins.
  2. 02Seat five tumblers — URL or image, each with keep / don’t-copy / why.
  3. 03Translate every stamp, then lock. Print the sheet. Stop arguing.
