The syllabus — in full
Week 01
The fog inventory
Your full map (~3 hrs · live Mon)
Before anything can be chosen, everything has to be visible — including the options you'd never say out loud at a dinner party. This week is pure extraction: no ranking, no filtering, no deciding, just the whole map on one page for the first time.

Week 02
Evidence, not vibes
Evidence journal (~3 hrs · live Mon)
You already have ten years of data on what you're good at and what you can stand — it's just stored as memory, and memory flatters. This week converts it into evidence you can hold against the map: four signals, three witnesses, one indexed journal.

Week 03
Kill criteria
Your filter (~3 hrs · live Mon)
Most people try to pick the winner first and freeze, because every option keeps its appeal until something is allowed to disqualify it. This week you write the disqualifiers before you look at the options again — money floor, geography, hours, people, regret — so the cuts run on rules you set while calm.

Week 04
The cuts
Shortlist of 2 (~3 hrs · live Mon)
The week the map shrinks, in public. Every option defends itself against your filter with the pod as jury — and a map of twelve routinely collapses to two in one session, because saying it out loud is harder to fudge than thinking it.

Week 05
The trial
Test results (~3 hrs · live Mon)
Imagination is a bad instrument for this, and quitting to find out is an expensive one. This week you design the cheapest real test that could tell your two finalists apart, then run both before committing to either.

Week 06
Daylight
One direction (~3 hrs · live Mon)
Six weeks converge into one page and one sentence said out loud. You choose, you write down why, you plan the first ninety days — and the cohort watches, which is what makes it hold once the room is empty.

What you leave with
①
A written decision
See what it is ↻
One page, addressed to the version of you who’ll doubt this in March: what you chose, what you turned down, and the evidence that settled it. You re-read it instead of relitigating the whole decision from scratch.
— week 06 artifact
②
A 90-day plan
See what it is ↻
Three moves with real dates against them, the first small enough to start on the Monday after the course ends. Short enough to stay honest, long enough to make the decision real before motivation does its usual fade.
— week 06 artifact
③
A reusable method
See what it is ↻
The map, the evidence journal and the five-criteria filter stay yours — the same process, ready for the next fork. And the next fork always comes; the difference is that you won’t be starting from fog.
— yours to keep
