Inside the product

What you can actually open.

1

Labs and guides

7 reader labs and 11 source-based guides. You run the steps. We did not run the products for you.

2

Worksheets and a calculator

Worksheets for a tool pick, a subscription bill, a weekly catch-up, a local model, a price, a model card, and a release. Plus a cost calculator.

3

Archive and a watchlist

The full verdict archive, with category filters and a log of the first snapshots, and a watchlist with notes and a next-check date in this browser.

Pro also includes courses: AI Literacy, Claude Certified Architect Decoded, and Build Your First AI Agent. Three other tracks are named and not written. The hub lists all six. The lessons use the same sign-in as the library. Checkout is still closed.

The library

Day one: 18 items. 18 of them are ready to read.

Ready means the guide is written from public sources. It doesn't mean we tested or timed the product ourselves. If a lab asks you to run something, you need your own permission to run it.

FAQ

The questions people actually ask.

Can I buy this today?

No. Checkout stays off until we have verified the launch checklist, access controls, payments, and refunds. The prices on this page are a preview, not a live offer.

What is actually in Pro?

18 source-based guides, including 7 reader labs, a cost calculator, switch checklists, the full verdict archive with category filters, a watchlist with notes stored in this browser, and worksheets for a tool pick, a subscription bill, a weekly catch-up, a local model, a price, a model card, or a release. Illustrative numbers are labeled. We do not invent model performance results.

Do I get a new playbook every week, or a ping when something ships?

No. There is no fixed weekly paid-content quota and no instant-alert service. Updates are dated in the library. The free briefing is still the news.

What does Use mean?

Our recommendation for a specific kind of reader, based on public sources. It does not mean we tested the product ourselves. Watch means an important question is still open. Ignore means it is a bad fit for that reader.

How does the hour-back promise work?

If Pro doesn’t save you at least one hour in your first month, email us within 30 days of your first payment and we’ll refund it in full. No forms, no argument.

Can a sponsor pay for a nicer verdict?

No. Sponsors buy a clearly labeled ad. Payment does not buy a verdict, a ranking, or coverage.

What does Team add?

Up to 10 named seats, including one admin, a shared stack board, an AI usage policy template, a rollout checklist, and a monthly stack-review worksheet you run yourselves. The template is not legal advice. It does not include a consultant or a custom monthly analysis.

How will billing and cancellation work?

Before sales open, we have to check receipts, cancellation, when access ends, and refunds in Stripe test mode. There is no working billing portal yet.

What is the ShipReady Lab?

A self-paced project where you build a request-board app from public documentation: eight modules, starter files, worksheets for the database, auth, deploy, monitoring, and release steps, plus a launch and rollback checklist. Planned price: $249, or $199 for active Pro members. Hosting and other outside services are not included. It is not for sale yet.
