What Old Hammer Research Does

Research that actually moves the needle

Built around the way serious nonfiction publishers actually work.

Four-Pass Research System

A structured pipeline — market research, competitive deep-dive, content strategy, and launch planning — that takes you from raw idea to fully validated concept. Each pass builds on the last: BSR analysis, category strategy, and competitive positioning baked in at every stage.

Deep Market Validation

Real-time web research that reads the competitive landscape before you write a word. Analyze Amazon keyword demand and search volume, identify competitive gaps, and know exactly where your book fits — or doesn't.

Launch-Ready Assets

KDP-ready Amazon description, backend keywords, A+ content modules, category selection strategy, back cover copy, and chapter outline — generated in one workflow and exported to individual .docx files, ready to paste.

Built for creators, not content farms.

Old Hammer Research is a research and strategy tool for publishers who take their craft seriously. The writing is yours — we just make sure it's pointed in the right direction before you start.
