How it works

Four steps from one process to proof

STEP 01

Bring one process

One boring, recurring task from your own job. That's the entry ticket.

STEP 02

Get selected

We review every process for fit, recurring, measurable, worth automating.

STEP 03

Learn and build

Six weeks of live sessions and mentor-reviewed builds on your own process.

STEP 04

Graduate with proof

An approved automation, a measured result, and the pack that proves it.

The program journey

Your own problem or idea, carried through six weeks: Cowork, Skills, Claude Code, Design, Workflows, then shipped as a product.
