The curriculum.

The equation, taught one variable at a time. By the end you can direct machines and own the verdict — and run the same equation on your team, your function, and your organisation.

01 / The spine

One equation. Five modules.

The whole school is a single line, read one variable at a time — each on your own real work, not a toy brief.

=+()
The equationRead: vision, plus data, times process over human experience, to the power of AI. Hover any term.
  1. VModule 01

    Set the verdict before the output

    Name what good looks like before anything is made, and write intent a machine can act on. The only variable that needs no AI — and the one everything else hangs from.

    Model · Vision-as-CodeStart free · The Direction Brief
  2. DModule 02

    Make your work legible to machines

    Get the data your work runs on reachable, trusted, and ready to act on — so the agents you direct have fuel, not friction.

  3. PModule 03

    Hand the plumbing to the machine

    Find the routine in your week and delegate it for good. Every point of process you offload is headroom returned to human work.

    Model · Least FrictionStart free · The P/HX Audit
  4. HXModule 04

    Design where human meets machine

    Raise the quality of the interface between people and AI until the work is genuinely good — the denominator that decides whether everything above it counts.

  5. AIModule 05

    Direct agents so the returns compound

    Move from prompting a chatbot to directing agents — and build so AI multiplies what you make, month over month. The exponent on the whole line.

The capstoneFive modules earn the place on the ladder. The top credential is earned after — a real, directed, 90-day piece of work, reviewed against the public rubric. Evidence, not attendance.

02 / The mind shifts

Three models to read it by.

The equation is the what. These three models — the spine of the book — are the how you come to see your work differently.

01

The Expansion

Hand process to the machine and the human half of the work grows to fill the space.

02

The Inversion

The question flips — not what should I do for a living, but what should I live for.

03

The Ratio

Minimise the process you carry; maximise the human experience wrapped around it.

03 / Two outcomes

What you can do by the end.

The same equation, run at two scales. One rewires a person; the other rewires an organisation.

For individuals

You become a Blank Collar

  • Hand routine work to machines, and reclaim the hours for judgment.
  • Brief a machine on real work and own the outcome, not rescue a draft.
  • Judge AI output against a standard, and put your name on the verdict.
  • Climb the ladder — operator, orchestrator, blank collar.
The programmes→
For your organisation

Your org runs on the equation

  • Map the P/HX ratio across a team and find the plumbing to offload.
  • Give the whole company real AI literacy — Article 4, with a soul.
  • Certify managers as directors of machines, not approvers of rollouts.
  • Cascade it — literacy for all, direction for the executive.
