No theory, no hype — just the systems we use and recommend, written to be run the same day you read it.
The five layers of a working AI setup — what goes in each layer, what it should cost (under $100/mo), and the exact order to build it in.
Copy-paste delegation patterns for real output — each with the template, a worked example, and the failure mode to avoid.
The scoring rubric for deciding which of your workflows to hand to an AI agent first — and which ones will waste your money.
How to brief an AI like you'd brief a sharp employee, so you stop babysitting outputs and start reviewing finished work.
The short list that survived our testing — and the popular tools we'd skip, with the reasons why.
Week-by-week: how to go from "I use ChatGPT sometimes" to a compounding AI operation without burning a weekend.
That's the whole form. No name, no phone, no credit card.
