The protocol plus the templates to install it. Built for operators who already use AI but want sharper systems for themselves, not just their teams.
What is inside

- Six Notion templates. Audit log, leverage matrix, automation queue, weekly retro, agent brief, decision journal. Click to duplicate.
- The 12-Prompt Pack. Twelve prompts engineered for Claude and ChatGPT, mapped to specific 1000-second use cases. Decision pre-mortem, backlog triage, memo first draft, PR review, hiring loop design, more.
- One seat in the next quarterly method clinic. 90-minute Zoom. Live teaching + Q&A + one operator demo. Recorded.
