01What it is

Not a course. A role, rewired.

Most programmes teach you a tool, then leave. The track rebuilds how you work, one variable of the framework at a time, on your own real work, and you grade the behaviour against a public rubric, not the attendance.

You'll direct, not doLead agents through real tasks and own the verdict: the core Blank Collar move.
You'll ship each weekEvery variable produces something you keep: a brief, a workflow, a reclaimed process.
You'll prove it to yourselfA capstone you grade against a public rubric: a behaviour you can show, not a seat.
Start the track

Free and self-directed: open to anyone, start today. Begin in the curriculum and grade yourself as you go.

02The spine

Five weeks. Five variables.

The framework, taught one variable a week. Each week ends in something you keep.

Become a Blank Collar, week by weekV · D · P · HX · AI
Week · variableWhat happensWhat you produce
Week 1V · Vision
Frame the work before you touch a tool: intent, audience, and the verdict you're aiming for.
A one-page vision brief for a real piece of your own work.
Week 2D · Data
Find the data your work runs on, connect an agent to it, and make it move.
One workflow an agent runs on your real data.
Week 3P · Process
Map a recurring process and hand the routine to the machine.
A process off your plate, with the hours reclaimed measured.
Week 4HX · Human Experience
Build the interface so a colleague can run what you built.
A human-usable surface someone else can pick up.
Week 5AI · the exponent
Compound it: direct the agents, judge the output, ship the verdict.
A directed piece of work with your judgement on the line.
03The climb

From white collar to blank collar.

The track places you on the ladder. The top rung is reached after the work, with evidence you grade against the rubric. See the capstone.

05The rubric, in public

It is behaviour, not attendance.

Here is exactly what good looks like. Published, because a rubric you can grade yourself against beats a certificate you cannot inspect.

The behaviourWhat counts as evidence
Direct, don't doYou led an agent through a real task and owned the call, not the keystrokes.
Routine to the machineYou moved a recurring process to AI and measured the hours reclaimed.
Vision before outputYou framed the intent and the verdict before opening a tool.
Strong HXYou built a surface a colleague could actually use.
Judgement on tapYou caught an output that was plausible and wrong, and corrected it.
Teach oneYou brought one colleague one rung up the ladder.
06The capstone

The top rung needs evidence.

Operator and Orchestrator come as you work the five variables. The Blank Collar rung comes after.

It takes a 90-day piece of real, directed work (something you shipped at your own job, with your judgement on the line) measured against the public rubric. No exam, no quiz, no certificate of attendance. The evidence is the work, and you hold yourself to it.

This is the line most programmes never draw. The point is ten people who changed how they work, not a thousand who watched a video.

What to show yourself
  • A piece of work you directed, not did.
  • The before and after: the hours reclaimed, measured.
  • One thing it changed for someone other than you.
07What you leave with

Three things, all real.

01

A rewired role

Five variables worked through on your own real work: the role itself changes, and the change sticks.

02

A capstone

A real, directed piece of work you grade yourself against the public rubric.

03

The rubric

The exact behaviour to aim for, published, yours to measure against, any time.

08Questions

Real answers. Every one.

Nothing. It is free and self-directed: the same framework, the same rubric, worked through on your own real work, at your own pace.

Open the curriculum and begin. There is no application, no waitlist, and no email wall. You start whenever you are ready.

Neither. It is self-paced and self-directed. Work it through whenever it suits, and grade yourself against the rubric when each piece is done.

English. The work you produce is in whatever language your own job runs in.

As much as you give it. The output is your work, not homework. You finish each variable with something you actually use, not an exercise you throw away.

Anyone after a certificate to frame rather than a behaviour to change. If you want a tool demo, this isn't it: the tool is not the transformation. The free Open Codex is a good place to start instead.
