Five days,
one blueprint.

A short course for the leader whose company has AI tools in the building but no governed process to show for it. One idea a day, ten minutes of work a day, and by day five you have a one-page blueprint for your first governed process.

Every day ends with ten minutes of work that leaves an artifact behind. No homework that dies in a tab.
Built on The Principal Firm, the working paper behind Runbaze. Every mechanism cites its source.
On day five the artifacts assemble into the blueprint: process, specification, verification, people, run, result.

One idea a day. One artifact a day.

You cannot delegate to a machine what you have not specified, and you cannot specify what you have not decided. The five days walk that sequence as a build.

Day 01

The destination

Adoption is not transformation. What the next organisation looks like: people who decide, agents that execute, a record that proves.

Keeps: your AI map, marked A or T
Day 02

Pick the process

Four filters and three refusals. Why one well-chosen process beats a transformation programme.

Keeps: one process, three baseline numbers
Day 03

Write the specification

The interpretation subsidy you pay every day, and the four-part test a spec must pass before a machine can carry it.

Keeps: the four parts, drafted
Day 04

Decide how you verify

Agreement is not verification. Evals, gates, and the record: what checks the work when you no longer do it yourself.

Keeps: three eval cases, one gate rule
Day 05

The blueprint

Staff the three roles where judgment forms, assemble the week into one page, and block the shadow run.

Keeps: the blueprint, filled in

Written for the person who owns the outcome.

CTO · Head of EngYou have AI in the toolchain and a board asking for the plan. The course gives you the sequence, and the blueprint is the plan's first page.
Founder · MDYou want the speed without betting the company on tools nobody answers for. Day one settles the direction; day five leaves you something concrete.
Transformation leadYou were handed "do something with AI". This is the something: one governed process, specified, verified, staffed, and provable.
The end artifact

One page, six blocks.

Process and baseline · specification · verification · people · run · result. The daily exercises fill the first four during the week. Day five assembles the page and blocks your shadow run. Bring it to your next leadership meeting, or send it back to us and we will read it.

Day one is ready.

Ten minutes a day, five days, one blueprint. It costs an email address.
