Chapter five

Your shelf audit

You don't need to read all six guides in order. You need to read the one covering your actual weak point — first. This tells you which.

RATE · FIND THE GAP · READ THAT ONE

Six guides is a lot to face if you try to march through them cover to cover. So don't. Rate yourself honestly on each of the five domains below — 1 means "no idea," 5 means "I've got this." Your lowest score is this week's assigned reading. The tool below saves your ratings in this browser, so you can come back, re-rate as you improve, and always know where the next gain is.

Your assigned reading
Rate all six above

Tap a number on each row. Your lowest score is where you'll gain the most, fastest.

The point

Progress isn't reading everything. It's fixing the weakest link, then re-checking. Do that six times and you've quietly mastered the whole shelf — one honest weak point at a time.

Starting from zero? Your first 30 days

If every score was low, don't panic and don't binge. Here's a calm, one-domain-a-week sequence that goes from "AI curious" to "running a real combo" in a month — about 20 minutes a day.

Leave the Playbook for later

The Advanced AI Playbook is the systems layer — it pays off most once you've got a few combos under your belt. Reach for it in month two, when you're ready to make the whole thing run without you.

Do this now · 2 minutes

Rate all six rows above, honestly. Open the guide it names. That's your week — one weak point, one guide, real progress. Come back next week and re-rate.
