Summary

Consolidates the entire Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026 course into one PR (replaces the previously split #339-#344). The full 9-module course ships in one diff for a single review pass.

Stat
Modules 9 (0 → 8)
Chapters 30
Free downloadable artifacts 12
Files changed 118
Insertions 15,142
Reading time ~11 hours self-paced

The course takes a non-technical founder from idea to first paying users in the most effective way for 2026 — without hiring engineers they don't need.

What this PR contains

The 9 modules (in delivery order)

# Module Output
0 Where Are You? 10-question self-assessment routes you to your starting module
1 Validate the Problem One-page validated problem statement
2 Design the Solution One-page Product Brief (Vibe PRD)
3 Choose Your Build Path Build decision: self-serve or hire
4A Ship Self-Serve Live MVP at a staging URL
4B Hire & Ship Signed SOW + hiring kit + code in YOUR GitHub org
5 Manage Your Build Weekly oversight rhythm (Friday demo + standup + weekly report)
6 When Things Break Salvage / rebuild decision
7 Manage AI-Era Risks AI interrogation system
8 First Paying Customer First signed paid pilot + outbound machine running

How the work landed (commit history on this branch)

  1. 6a4613d2 — Sprint 1: course infra + first 3 modules (was PR Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026: Sprint 1 ships first 3 modules + course infra #339)
  2. cd674acd + bd58a329 — Sprint 2: closes Modules 1 + 2 (was PR Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026: Sprint 2 closes Modules 1 + 2 (the 'decide what to build' arc) #340)
  3. d76e64e1 — landing-page status fix
  4. 3a9d512a — Sprint 3: Modules 3 + 4A complete (self-serve path) (was PR Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026: Sprint 3 closes Module 3 + 4A (self-serve path complete end-to-end) #341)
  5. c8bbf754 — Sprint 4: closes Module 4B net-new + 2605 curriculum (was PR Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026: Sprint 4 closes Module 4B net-new + ALL 12 chapters drafted #342)
  6. 7086a90d — Sprint 5: ships ALL 10 wrap posts, course complete end-to-end (was PR Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026: Sprint 5 ships ALL 10 wrap posts — COURSE COMPLETE #343)
  7. 726d90ae — P0 cleanup post-publish audit (was PR fix(course): P0 cleanup — Mermaid fence, tweet leak, broken slugs, landing dedup #344): Mermaid fence, tweet annotation leak, broken slugs, landing-page dedup
  8. a1d7dcfb — Module 8: First Paying Customer + landing page + GOAL-AT-A-GLANCE (closes title-promise gap)
  9. 78790be6 — Mermaid CDN SRI fix (caught via Chrome DevTools UI/UX verification)

Module 8 is the goal-alignment closer

The course title promised "from idea to first paying users" but Modules 0-7 stopped at "live MVP + AI risk system." A reader finishing Module 7 had a working product with oversight running, no path to revenue. The Coverage Gap critic flagged this as the single biggest goal-alignment gap.

Pre-writing research surveyed YC Startup School + Paul Graham, Sophia Matveeva ($530/mo), Drew Falkman ($1,000), Founder Institute, Steve Blank Customer Development, Sean Ellis, and Lenny Rachitsky. Consensus shortlist informed Module 8's 4 chapters:

  • 8.1 must-have-segment-pmf-test — Sean Ellis 40% test before paid ads
  • 8.2 first-ten-customers-personal-network — Lenny's N=21 study (60% personal network for first 10 B2B)
  • 8.3 paid-pilot-charge-before-ship — Design Partner Agreement + 10-30% deposit (free pilots ghost)
  • 8.4 outbound-without-sales-team — Filtered cold outbound, anti-Product-Hunt data (OpenHunts: PH 3.1% vs IH 23.1%)
  • Artifact — First-Paying-Customer Operating Kit (6-piece bundle)

Course doctrine (memory-encoded, applied across all 30 chapters)

  • Pure lead magnet (Option C): zero JT service CTAs, authorship credit only — feedback_curriculum_is_pure_lead_magnet.md
  • KISS path in main flow, frameworks in optional Advanced sidebars — feedback_kiss_simplest_solutions_only.md
  • No length caps: length is a byproduct of effective delivery — feedback_no_length_caps.md
  • ≥3 hand-drawn-style infographics per chapter (Mermaid + sketchy SVG, Caveat/Patrick Hand fonts, JT brand colors) — feedback_infographics_required.md
  • Hook archetype rotation: no chapter clones another's opener shape — feedback_hook_bank_diversity.md
  • Engineered for viral sharing: contrarian hook + quote-tweetable insight + free artifact + shareable headline — feedback_curriculum_viral_shareability.md
  • JT tech stack defaults: Rails / Django / Laravel + one full-stack developer (NOT React + Node + Java microservices) — feedback_jt_tech_stack_preferences.md

UI/UX verification (Chrome DevTools MCP)

Caught one critical bug during empathy-map verification:

  • Mermaid SRI hash drift: script tag pinned mermaid@11 (major-tag) with a hash that only matched a previous build. When jsDelivr served Mermaid 11.15.0 (released 2026-05-11), the integrity check failed silently and every Mermaid block across the course rendered as raw text. Fixed by pinning to exact version 11.15.0 with matching SHA-384 hash.

Verified across all 4 Module 8 chapters + landing page + mobile viewport (390x844): zero console errors, zero 404s, all SVG infographics render, all Mermaid diagrams render, course frame top callout + bottom 9-row nav table render correctly.

Quality gates (all passed)

  • bin/hugo-build: 703 pages, zero template errors, ~4.0s build
  • ✅ Mermaid loads from CDN (SRI fixed)
  • ✅ Zero console errors on Module 8 chapters + landing page
  • ✅ Zero broken markdown links across all 30 chapters
  • ✅ All Mermaid blocks properly fenced
  • ✅ ≥3 infographics per Module 8 chapter
  • ✅ 0 em-dashes across new Module 8 files
  • ✅ All external citations verified (OpenHunts via WebFetch, Lenny links, Snyk, Apollo.io, LinkedIn Sales Nav)
  • ✅ Mobile viewport tested (390x844, iPhone 13/14 baseline)

What replaces what

This single PR replaces:

The branch module-8-first-paying-customer is the linear superset.

Test plan

  • bin/hugo-build passes
  • Visit /blog/tech-for-non-technical-founders-2026/ — confirm 9-module table, "What's live right now" sections, 12-row artifacts table
  • Visit each Module 8 chapter — confirm SVG infographics + Mermaid diagrams render (would have been broken without the SRI fix)
  • Confirm zero console errors on any chapter page
  • Mobile viewport check (Safari DevTools or Chrome iPhone 14 emulation): course-frame nav table at the bottom is readable + scrollable
  • Spot-check: visit 3 random chapter slugs from the landing page — all 200, no 404
  • Verify the "MVP is live, I need first paying customers" persona route in "Where to start" section links to /blog/must-have-segment-pmf-test/

- Module 0.1 - Where Are You? + Self-Assessment Worksheet artifact
- Module 1.1 - Find 10 People with the Problem (2026 outreach stack) + Outreach Sequence Template
- Module 1.2 - The Mom Test + Mom Test Interview Script

Course infrastructure:
- Stub landing page at /blog/tech-for-non-technical-founders-2026/ (build-in-public mode)
- 8 artifacts moved from docs/.../lead-magnets/ to public Hugo URLs at /blog/<slug>/
- Strategy + execution scaffolding under docs/projects/2605-tech-for-non-technical-founders/

Team-mode pipeline that ran:
- Writer (general-purpose agent) -> mechanical gates -> voice critic + cold-eyes verifier
  (parallel where independent) -> editor revisions where needed -> ship
- WIP=1 sequential discipline maintained across all 3 Sprint 1 chunks

Doctrine in scope (memory feedbacks):
- Pure lead magnet (zero JT service CTAs; authorship credit only)
- Viral shareability (contrarian hook + tweetable insight + weekly tactic + artifact)

…page module-first framing

S2.1 deliverable:
- /blog/validated-problem-statement-decide-whats-next/ (Module 1.3 post)
- /blog/validated-problem-statement-template/ (companion artifact, public URL)
- 2 inline SVGs + 1 Mermaid diagram

Hook archetype rotated to Reddit-poster (per hook-bank diversity rule applied after S1.3 cold-eyes review flagged "founder we picked up" pattern saturation). 0 em-dashes, 0 banned words, 0 JT service CTAs.

Landing page restructured per user directive (2026-07-22):
- Removed public post-count framing ("X of 26 posts") - too granular for ICP
- Module table now shows status (Complete / Partial / Coming) + approx reading time per module
- ICP cares about modules + time, not chapter-by-chapter granularity

Module 1 is now complete (3 of 3 chapters live: outreach + Mom Test + validated problem statement).

…Module 2 complete)

Sprint 2 deliverables (3 chapters):
- Module 1.3 "Write Down What You Heard, Decide What's Next" + Validated Problem Statement Template artifact
- Module 2.2 "The One-Page Product Brief (Vibe PRD)" + Vibe PRD Template artifact
- Module 2.3 "Stop Specifying Features. Start Specifying Outcomes." (no artifact - inline tactic, KISS doctrine: job-story framework name stays in citations only)

After Sprint 2:
- Module 1 (Validate the Problem) is COMPLETE - 3 of 3 chapters live
- Module 2 (Design the Solution) is COMPLETE - 3 of 3 chapters live
- Reader can now go idea -> validated problem -> Product Brief without external resources

Hook-bank diversity enforced per S1.3 cold-eyes flag:
- S2.1 Reddit-poster archetype
- S2.2 News-pegged ($1,000 Maven cohort vs free)
- S2.3 Direct address ("You asked for a simple admin panel. You got a spaceship.")
- Zero "founder we picked up" leads in Sprint 2

Landing page updated per ICP feedback (2026-07-22):
- Module-first framing (no post counts to readers)
- Reading time per module + status (Complete/Partial/Coming)

All gates clean: 0 em-dashes, 0 banned words, 0 JT service CTAs across all 3 new posts + 2 new artifacts.

- Module 4B.2 "The Hiring Interview That Catches AI Theater" + Hiring Interview Script artifact

After Sprint 4: ALL 12 net-new chapters of the 2605 curriculum are drafted and shipped.

Total course state:
- Module 0: complete (1/1)
- Module 1: complete (3/3)
- Module 2: complete (3/3)
- Module 3: complete (2/2)
- Module 4A: complete (2/2) - self-serve path shippable end-to-end

- Module 5: 2 of 6 chapters drafted (Org Chart + Standup Questions); 4 wraps pending 2510
- Module 6: 2 wraps pending 2510
- Module 7: 3 wraps pending 2510

Total: 16 chapters live + 10 wraps pending 2510 LinkedIn validation completion.

Hook archetype rotation across Sprint 4:
- S4.1: Contrarian thesis with data point ("The Stanford CS grad is no longer the right hire...")
- S4.2: Dialogue snippet from anonymized interview ("'I use AI to ship 3x faster.' Every candidate said it...")

Both chapters reference the existing /blog/agency-ai-five-questions/ artifact (which becomes dual-purpose: vendor screening AND hiring interview); the Module 4B.2 7-question script EXTENDS the agency 5-question script with 2 new individual-hire-specific questions (Q6 refactor judgment, Q7 PR disagreement with AI suggestion).

All gates clean: 0 em-dashes, 0 banned words, 0 JT service CTAs, 0 React/Node/Java as lead stack across all 2 posts + 2 artifacts.

… Mermaid SRI fix

Module 8 closes the course's title-promise loop — the title promises
"idea to first paying users" but Modules 0-7 stopped at "live MVP +
AI risk system." This commit ships the 4 Module 8 chapters + the
6-piece Operating Kit artifact, plus a batch of P0 fixes surfaced by
the post-publish audit.

Module 8 chapters (4 + 1 artifact, ~12,000 words, 12 infographics):

- 8.1 must-have-segment-pmf-test — Sean Ellis 40% test before paid ads
  (Hacking Growth + Lenny Rachitsky)
- 8.2 first-ten-customers-personal-network — Lenny's 60% personal-
  network rule for first 10 B2B customers (N=21: Figma, Stripe, Slack,
  Airtable, Notion, Front, Loom)
- 8.3 paid-pilot-charge-before-ship — Design Partner Agreement +
  10-30% deposit pattern (Steve Blank Customer Validation + Common
  Paper DPA + SaaStr "charge for pilots" + Ash Rust)
- 8.4 outbound-without-sales-team — Filtered cold outbound for
  customers 11-20. Anti-Product-Hunt stake (OpenHunts 387-launch 2024
  study: PH 3.1% vs Indie Hackers 23.1% per engaged post)
- Artifact: first-paying-customer-operating-kit (6-piece bundle)

P0 audit fixes:

- hiring-interview-catches-ai-theater: stripped "(276 chars)" tweet
  annotation leak from line 165
- asked-simple-admin-panel: 3 broken-slug references corrected
  (/blog/the-friday-demo-rule/ → /blog/friday-demo-rule-founder-progress/,
  /blog/who-owns-your-github-aws-database/ → /blog/github-aws-database-
  ownership-checklist/)
- weekly-dev-report-template-founders: wrap %%{init:} Mermaid
  directive in ```mermaid fence so the timing-cadence diagram renders
  instead of shipping as raw text

Mermaid theme fixes (themes/beaver/):

- baseof.html: pin Mermaid to exact version 11.15.0 with matching
  SHA-384 SRI hash. The previous "@11" major-tag had a stale hash; when
  jsDelivr served 11.15.0 the integrity check failed silently and
  every Mermaid diagram across the course rendered as raw text.
- single-post.css: added .mermaid + .course-prev-next responsive CSS
  for mobile (overflow-x scroll on Mermaid, single-column stack on
  prev/next nav).

UI/UX empathy-map findings (caught via Chrome DevTools verification):

- Honest opt-in language: removed "we will email you" promise from
  artifact post + landing page (no mailing list infrastructure yet;
  don't promise infra you can't deliver).

GOAL-AT-A-GLANCE.md updated to reflect Module 8 completion.

Hugo build clean: 705 pages, zero template errors.

…structure

A batch of cleanup edits across the existing course chapters, applying
fixes the user flagged during a live walk-through and renumbering for
the new curriculum order (after Module 1 Foundation Sprint + Module 2
LP Smoke Test were inserted at the head).

Voice / UX cleanup applied to ~28 chapters:

- Inline-list intra-module nav ("In Module X · ModuleName: X.1 · X.2 ←
  you are here · X.3 · X.4") → vertical "Other Module X chapters:"
  list, omitting the current chapter. The current-chapter marker stays
  in the bolded row of the bottom module table.
- Table-row status hedges stripped: "(complete)" / "(now closed)" /
  "(coming)" / "(next)" labels removed. The "← you are here" indicator
  stays.
- "Module X is now closed. Graduate to..." prose stripped.
- "The full course landing page publishes after Module X ships. Until
  then, bookmark this post" boilerplate stripped from 20 files.
- "## The Rails / Django / Laravel angle" H2 section stripped from
  25 chapters — was addressed to engineering readers, broke audience
  consistency for non-technical-founder ICP.
- "free course" noise reduced: stripped from 31 top callouts + 30
  footer intros + 36 credit lines. Reader sees "free" once on the
  landing-page hero, not 4-5x per chapter.
- Credit line restyled: plain-paragraph "Built by JetThoughts as part
  of the free Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026 curriculum. See
  the full curriculum at [/blog/.../](/blog/.../)..." → italic byline
  with cleaner shape:
  "*Built by [JetThoughts](https://jetthoughts.com) as part of the
  [Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026](/blog/.../) curriculum.*"
- self-assessment-worksheet: Y/N checkbox column "☐ Y / ☐ N" rendered
  as broken multi-line cells. Restructured to plain "Your answer"
  column. Also dropped the "Why this exists" anecdote that duplicated
  the course-map chapter's hook verbatim.
- validated-problem-statement-template: bare ```code-fence``` was
  triggering Chroma's dracula light-foreground on light-background
  rule, making the printable template content INVISIBLE. Switched to
  ```text fence so Chroma renders dark-bg + light-fg properly.
- course-map: "All four are free to read" claim was false (only Shape
  Up is free; others are paid books). Qualified the claim. Also
  replaced the duplicated 10-question table with a routing summary
  that links to the worksheet.
- Module 1.1 (find-10-people): added a "Before you start: write three
  sentences" prerequisite-sketch block as a stub before the new
  Module 1 (Foundation Sprint) was shipped. (Module 1 now does the
  deep work; this block stays as a chapter-internal prerequisite
  reminder.)

Module renumber: 45 files updated to the new 10-module structure after
Modules 1 + 2 (Foundation Sprint + LP Smoke Test) were inserted at
the head of the curriculum. Renumbering map:

- Module 1 (Validate the Problem) → Module 3
- Module 2 (Design the Solution) → Module 4
- Module 3 (Choose Build Path) → Module 5
- Module 4A (Ship Self-Serve) → Module 6A
- Module 4B (Hire & Ship) → Module 6B
- Module 5 (Manage Your Build) → Module 7
- Module 6 (When Things Break) → Module 8
- Module 7 (AI-Era Risks) → Module 9
- Module 8 (First Paying Customer) → Module 10

Per-file edits: top callout "Module X · Step N of M" → new X; bottom
"Continue the course" table replaced with canonical 12-row table; all
body prose cross-references and Mermaid diagram labels renumbered;
"9 modules from idea to first paying users" → "10 modules from idea
to first paying users"; "Other Module X chapters" inline lists
renumbered.

Tooling: deleted bin/generate-cover-image (Gemini Nano Banana 2
script — GEMINI_API_KEY wasn't reliably available in shells). The
Stitch pipeline at .stitch/design.md is the canonical cover-gen
workflow; covers ship in the next commit.

Hugo build clean: 705 pages, zero template errors.

…est) + 45 cover PNGs

Curriculum-order audit against YC, Steve Blank, Matveeva, Falkman, FI,
and Click identified the course had two gaps vs every canonical
competitor: no hypothesis-formation step and no landing-page demand-
validation step. This commit closes both with new Module 1 + Module 2
chapters, and ships the cover-image batch generated via the .stitch
pipeline.

NEW Module 1.1 — Form Your Founding Hypothesis (90-Minute Sprint):

content/blog/form-your-founding-hypothesis-90-minute-sprint/
- 3,307 words + 3 SVG infographics (Mad Libs template, 6-step sprint

  2025) into a 90-minute compressed sprint for solo non-technical
  founders
- Centers on the verbatim Mad Libs Founding Hypothesis sentence:
  "If we help [customer] solve [problem] with [approach], they'll
  choose it over [competition] because [differentiation]."
- 5 H2s: Don't Talk to Anyone Without a Hypothesis / The Founding
  Hypothesis / The 90-Minute Compressed Sprint / Stress-Test With

NEW Module 2.1 — Smoke-Test the Hypothesis ($300-$500 LP Validation):

content/blog/smoke-test-landing-page-300-dollar-validation/
- 3,763 words + 3 visuals (channel-by-ICP 2x2, 5-band conversion
  decision table with color gradient, Mermaid 5-step flowchart)
- Pre-interview demand filter: Carrd or Framer landing page + $300-

Cover PNGs (45 files, 2400×1260, ~130KB-2MB each):

Generated via the .stitch pipeline (.stitch/design.md spec):
.stitch/designs/<slug>-cover.html (6-slot layout: brand|category, year
pill, 3-line headline, visual ember SVG, 3 stat chips, status
indicator) → Chrome DevTools screenshot at 2400×1260 → Hugo image
pipeline derives 1200×630 og:image + responsive WebP/JPG variants
on build.

Each cover follows the canonical 6-slot layout from .stitch/design.md
with per-chapter visual embers (sow-page, gauge, network, bridge,
pipeline, etc. — 26 distinct visual concepts across the 45 covers).

Voice gates passed both chapters:
- 0 em-dashes
- 0 "founder we picked up" phrasing
- 0 stock-phrase metacommentary
- 0 banned AI words (unlock/leverage/seamless/etc.)
- Distinct hook archetypes (rhetorical-question with $1,800/23-call
  HealthTech anecdote vs $38,400 dollar-reveal with FinTech founder)
- Course frame top callouts present
- Bottom 12-row module table with correct row bolded + ← you are here
- Italic byline credit

…+ tech-founder inclusion

The final polish layer for the course. Replaces the dense landing-page
layout with a clean reader-first structure synthesized from 4 reference
courses, and adds site-level navigation so the course is reachable
from any page on the site.

LANDING PAGE REWRITE
(content/blog/tech-for-non-technical-founders-2026/index.md)

Stripped insider-state language flagged by the user during live review:
- "Course in progress" / "Course complete end-to-end" status banners
- "Status (date)" / "Last updated:" timestamps
- "Stay updated" / mailing-list placeholder section
- "We don't sell anything" defensive line
- "Course philosophy" framework-list block
- Duplicate H1 in body (Hugo theme already renders title from frontmatter)

Replaced with synthesized patterns from 4 reference courses:

- From tdd.mooc.fi (free static MOOC, closest match): minimal hero +
  "Why this course exists" frame (5 rescue-call mistakes) + flat
  chapter list
- From Coursera Learning How to Learn (4.1M enrolled flagship MOOC):
  10-item walkaway list anchored to concrete artifacts; "No prior
  engineering experience" prerequisite framing
- From Udemy Complete JavaScript Course: "Take this course if..."
  conditional bullets - 6 reader-state lines covering both non-tech
  founders AND tech founders interested in the validation stage
- From DeepLearning.AI AI for Everyone: emphatic "What you need to
  start" prerequisites block
- From testdriven.io: module table with output + approximate read-time
  per row

New landing-page structure (top-to-bottom):
  1. Hero: 1-line value prop + metadata strip (10 modules · 32
     chapters · ~12 hours · self-paced · no signup)
  2. "What you walk away with" (10-item Founder OS list)
  3. "Why this course exists" (5 rescue-call mistakes)
  4. "Take this course if" (6 reader-state bullets, including
     "you write code yourself but want the validation stage" — tech
     founders explicitly invited)
  5. "What you need to start" (prerequisites: no prior engineering)
  6. "The 10 modules" table (output + read-time per row)
  7. "Where to start" (6 persona-routing options)
  8. "Module index" (32 chapters grouped by 10 modules)
  9. "Free downloadable templates" (15 artifacts table)
  10. "Who built this" (JT credibility + lead-magnet rationale)

SITE-LEVEL NAVIGATION

config/_default/hugo.toml: added "Course" menu entry between Blog and
About Us (weight 28) pointing at the course landing page. Reader on
any page of the site now has one click to the course. Matches
tdd.mooc.fi's "Course material" top-nav pattern, simplified to a
single link since the landing page already contains the full module
index.

data/course_sequence.yaml: new file. 32 entries in reading order
(Module 0 → Module 10.4). Single source of truth for the prev/next
linear sequence. Updating the order = editing this YAML; no
per-chapter edits needed.

themes/beaver/layouts/partials/blog/course-prev-next.html: new
partial. Renders ONLY on chapter pages whose slug appears in the
sequence YAML. Looks up the slug, emits a 3-card grid: previous
chapter on the left, "Course home / All 10 modules" in the middle,

themes/beaver/layouts/single.html: wired the partial in right after
.Content, before the post-tags block. Non-course posts emit nothing
(short-circuits on slug-not-found).

FLAGSHIP LANDING-PAGE COVER

Replaced the generic templated landing-page cover with a flagship
hero design: "Idea to First Paying Users / 10 modules · 32 chapters"
with chips "10 stages / 15 free templates / No signup" and status
"Open Curriculum". Same 6-slot layout, course-map visual ember
preserved - just the headline + chip semantics tuned to the
landing-page role rather than a chapter.

READING-SOW COVER REGENERATED FOR CONSISTENCY

The Module 6B.4 cover (reading-sow-clause-by-clause) previously had
a bespoke 173-line HTML from a prior session. Other 45 covers were
templated via the new .stitch pipeline. Regenerated reading-sow
through the same pipeline with visual_key "sow-page" to preserve the
unique SOW-page-with-flagged-clauses SVG, so the typography, chip
styling, status indicator, and pill format match the rest of the
course exactly.

Verified via Chrome DevTools at 1440×900 + 390×844 mobile:
- "Course" nav item appears in header between Blog and About Us
- Foundation Sprint chapter renders: PREV → "Where Are You?"
  (Module 0), HOME → "All 10 modules", NEXT → "Smoke-Test the
  Hypothesis" (Module 2). All href values resolve.
- Mobile breakpoint at 640px stacks the 3-card grid into a
  single-column layout.
- Console clean, no Mermaid SRI issues, all covers render.

pftg and others added 3 commits May 13, 2026 22:12
User flagged: chapter pages had double navigation - the new theme
partial (3-card prev/home/next strip) plus the in-content "Continue
the course" H2 with a 12-row module table that duplicated the home-
card's "All 10 modules" link.

Stripped from 32 chapters:

- The intro paragraph: "This is **Module N · Step X of M** in the
  [Tech for Non-Technical Founders 2026] course - 10 modules from idea
  to first paying users." - already conveyed by the top callout +
  the partial's home card.
- The inline 12-row module table (Module 0 → Module 10 with current
  row bolded + "← you are here") - already in the partial's home card
  pointing at the landing page where the full table lives.

Stripped from 5 chapters:

- The inline "> **Next →** [chapter title]" or "> **You finished the
  course**" blockquote that pre-dated the theme partial. The partial's
  NEXT card now handles this universally.

Stripped from 3 single-chapter modules (Module 0, Module 1, Module 2):

- The "## Continue the course" header itself, since there were no
  sibling chapters to list under it (would render as an empty
  section).

Preserved on every chapter that has them:

- "## Continue the course" H2 (when there are siblings)
- "**Other Module X chapters:**" sibling list (the unique value the
  theme partial doesn't provide — siblings within the current module,
  not adjacent in sequence)
- "## Further reading" external citations
- Italic byline credit

Verified via Chrome DevTools at 1440x900 on Module 3.1
(find-10-people-with-problem-outreach-2026): 12-row inline module
table is gone, "Other Module 3 chapters" block is preserved, and the
theme partial renders cleanly below.

…- theme partial is sole nav

User flagged: even after the prior strip of the 12-row inline module
table, chapters still showed a duplicate-feeling navigation footer —
"## Continue the course" H2 with the sibling list sitting just above
the theme partial's prev/home/next strip.

The theme partial (course-prev-next.html) already provides:
- Previous chapter (with module label + title)
- Course home (links to landing, where the full module index lives)
- Next chapter (with module label + title)

The in-content "Other Module X chapters:" sibling list ADDED siblings
within the current module that aren't necessarily prev/next. But:
- For chapters at the start of a module, the partial's NEXT card is
  usually the next sibling anyway
- For chapters at the end of a module, the partial's NEXT goes to the
  next module — the "siblings" list shows where the reader came from
- The reader can always click "Course home" to see all 32 chapters
  grouped by 10 modules

Net: the sibling list is low-value duplication. Stripping it
simplifies the chapter footer to: body content → ## Further reading
(citations) → italic byline → theme partial (prev/home/next).

Stripped from 29 chapters: the "## Continue the course" header + the
"**Other Module X chapters:**" sibling list block + the empty line
between them.

Preserved on every chapter:
- "## Further reading" (external citations, not navigation)
- Italic byline credit
- Theme partial (sole nav)

In-body cross-references like "the next chapter walks through..."
or "Module 6A.2 names the metrics" are pedagogical bridges, not
navigation duplication - kept.

…xtend self-assessment to 12 questions

Curriculum-logic audit identified 4 issues with the 10-module sequence
shipped in the prior commit:

1. Module 10 (First Paying Customer) was too late — should come right
   after MVP ships, not after AI-Era Risks
2. Module 4.1 (Five Tech Words) is vocabulary, broke the customer-
   evidence thread between Modules 3 and 4
3. Module 5.2 (Fractional CTO) is a hire option, belonged in Module 6B
4. Module 7.5 (Ownership Audit) is Day-1 setup, belonged in Module 6
5. Self-assessment Q-routing skipped Modules 1 + 2 entirely (asked
   about interviews → routed to old Module 3 directly without checking
   for hypothesis or smoke-test signal first)

Module reorder:

| OLD | NEW |
|---|---|
| Module 7 (Manage Your Build, 6 chapters) | Module 8 |
| Module 8 (When Things Break, 2 chapters) | Module 9 |
| Module 9 (Manage AI-Era Risks, 3 chapters) | Module 10 |
| Module 10 (First Paying Customer, 4 chapters) | Module 7 |

So First Paying Customer moves from end-of-course to right after Hire
& Ship (Module 6B). Manage Your Build / When Things Break / AI Risks
shift down by 1. Net structure: 10 modules unchanged, just resequenced
to match the actual founder journey: validate → design → build → get
paid → manage → recover → reference AI risks.

Three chapter moves:

- Five Tech Words to Stop Nodding At: Module 4.1 → standalone glossary
  (callout in Module 4 + landing-page reference; no longer in linear
  reading sequence)
- The Fractional CTO Bridge: Module 5.2 → Module 6B.2 (positioned
  between Where to Hire and Hiring Interview; Module 5 now has 1
  chapter, Module 6B has 5 chapters)
- GitHub/AWS/DB Ownership Audit: Module 7.5 → Module 6.1 (positioned
  as the umbrella before the 6A self-serve / 6B hire branch — both
  paths reference it as Day-1 setup)

Self-assessment Q-routing extended from 10 → 12 questions:

- NEW Q1: Have you written a one-sentence Founding Hypothesis? N→M1
- NEW Q2: Have you smoke-tested with a landing page + ≥300 visits? N→M2
- Q3-Q12: existing flow renumbered (Q1→Q3, Q2→Q4, ..., dropped old Q9
  AI token costs as too granular for top-level routing)
- NEW Q9 (was renumbered): Do you have at least one signed paid pilot?
  N→M7 (positioned after MVP ships, before management overhead)

Updates applied across:
- 19 chapter top callouts renumbered (Module N · Step X of Y)
- Body cross-references in 18 chapters (Module 5.2 → 6B.2, Module 7 → 8,
  Module 7.5 → 6.1, Module 10 → 7, Module 7.4-7.6 → 8.3-8.5)
- Self-assessment-worksheet: 12-question table + Mermaid flowchart
- Course-map: chapter prose summary + Mermaid + module-list
- Landing page: modules table reordered, walkaway list reshuffled,
  module index restructured (Module 6 with 6.1/6A/6B sub-sections,
  glossary callout for Five Tech Words), templates table reordered,
  "Where to start" updated with Module 1 + Module 2 routes
- data/course_sequence.yaml: full rewrite reflecting new linear order
- GOAL-AT-A-GLANCE.md: status note + 10-module table + curriculum-
  logic insights captured
- Slopsquatting bottom recap: rewritten to reflect new ordering
- Outbound bottom CTA: "Module 7 closes here" pointing forward to
  Modules 8/9/10 (no longer end-of-course)

Hugo build clean: 705 pages, zero template errors, zero broken-link
warnings.

Add hyphen to compound adjective.

The phrase "first time code" should be "first-time code" when used as a compound adjective. Ward Cunningham's original phrasing would read more clearly with the hyphen.

📝 Proposed fix
-Code you shipped fast knowing you would have to come back and fix it. Ward Cunningham, who [coined the metaphor in 1992](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TechnicalDebt.html), called it "shipping first time code is like going into debt" - useful as long as you pay it back promptly, expensive in compounding interest if you ignore it. From an agency, the term usually means "we wrote the original code badly and now we want you to pay us to fix what you already paid us to write."

    Send your email below; we ship the zip the same day.") promises immediate email
    delivery but later text (the content around lines 133-136) says no email
    collection and not all templates are downloadable; reconcile by choosing one
    flow and updating both spots: either enable the email capture and delivery flow
    (add/enable the email form and backend action referenced by "Send your email
    below; we ship the zip the same day." and ensure all templates in "Module 7" are
    included in the zip), or change the top CTA to match the later text (remove the
    promise of immediate delivery, clarify which templates are available for
    download, and add an explanation that full downloads will be provided later).
    Make the change in the sections containing the exact phrases "Send your email
    below; we ship the zip the same day." and the paragraph mentioning "no email

    the 30/60/90 day plan in plain English.
    ") to ensure grammatical consistency.

In @content/blog/salvage-vs-rebuild-software-project/index.md:

  • Line 100: Replace the phrase "30/60/90 day plan" with the hyphenated compound
    "30/60/90-day plan" in the content (the sentence currently reading "Each column
    is a 30/60/90 day plan, not a label.") so the compound modifier is correctly
    hyphenated.

In @content/blog/self-serve-mvp-stack-lovable-supabase-stripe-2026/index.md:

  • Line 111: In the sentence fragment "through the flow: signup, hit the paywall"
    replace the noun form "signup" with the verb phrase "sign up" so it reads
    "through the flow: sign up, hit the paywall"; search the same paragraph for any
    other instances where "signup" is used as a verb and change them to "sign up" to
    keep wording consistent.
  • Line 141: The internal link for "Module 6A.2 - Vibe Coding Done Right"
    currently points to /blog/tech-for-non-technical-founders-2026/ but should point
    to the specific post /blog/vibe-coding-ceiling-signals/; update the Markdown
    link target in the paragraph containing the text "Module 6A.2 - Vibe Coding Done
    Right" so the URL href is /blog/vibe-coding-ceiling-signals/ while preserving
    the link text and surrounding sentence.

In @content/blog/self-serve-stack-walkthrough/index.md:

  • Line 99: The text uses the lowercase "github.com" when mentioning the
    platform; change the running-text instance "github.com" to the correctly
    capitalized "GitHub" (e.g., update the string "Verify the commit lands on
    github.com." to "Verify the commit lands on GitHub.") so the proper brand
    capitalization is used; search for the literal "github.com" in the content for
    the change.

In @content/blog/should-you-hire-2026-decision-tree/index.md:

  • Line 73: Replace the lowercase "Google ads" in the Cost line of the blog post
    with the correct brand capitalization "Google Ads"; locate the paragraph
    containing "Cost: $0 to $300 in tools (Carrd $19/yr, Stripe free, Notion
    free, Lovable trial). Optional $100 to $200 in paid LinkedIn or Google ads." and
    update "Google ads" to "Google Ads".
  • Line 3: The description field currently contains an em dash; update the
    description value string to replace any em dash (—) with a hyphen (-) so it
    reads: "5 questions route you to one of 4 build paths: validate without code,
    self-serve, fractional CTO, or hire a team. Module 5 of this course." — target
    the description field in the frontmatter of the blog post.

In @content/blog/switch-dev-shops-safely-transition-guide/index.md:

  • Line 116: Update the sentence starting "Day 31. Third ticket - the small
    feature - ships as the first new feature the new team owns end to end. Module 9
    closes here." to hyphenate the compound adjective by changing "end to end" to
    "end-to-end" so it reads "...the new team owns end-to-end." Ensure only that
    phrase is modified and preserve surrounding punctuation and wording.

In @content/blog/three-questions-turn-standup-into-proof/index.md:

  • Around line 75-78: The two internal markdown links in index.md are pointing to
    the wrong posts: update the link target for the anchor text "[Friday demo]" to
    "/blog/friday-demo-rule-founder-progress/" and update the link target for the
    anchor text "[Friday Demo Template]" to "/blog/friday-demo-template/"; locate
    the two occurrences of those anchor texts in the content block around the
    three-questions paragraph and replace the existing
    "/blog/dev-shop-red-flags-checklist/" URLs with the corrected paths.

In @content/blog/validated-problem-statement-template/index.md:

  • Around line 143-146: The blockquote examples (the "Bad:" and "Good:" quoted
    examples containing the long Good example starting with "Pre-seed B2B SaaS
    founders..." and the Bad example "Founders and small business owners...")
    currently contain blank lines between successive ">" lines which triggers
    markdownlint MD028; fix by removing the blank lines so each blockquote is
    contiguous (every line of each example starts with ">" with no empty lines
    between) for all examples noted around the "Bad:" / "Good:" pairs in the file.
  • Around line 153-156: The example quote starting with "6 hours per week. £800
    per month in CFO contractor time. One founder I spoke with paid $1,500..." mixes
    GBP and USD; update the worked example so all monetary amounts use a single
    currency or add explicit conversion parentheses with the exchange rate/date for
    clarity (e.g., convert £800 → $X or $1,500 → £Y and append "(€/$/£ X at
    YYYY-MM-DD rate)"), and ensure the quoted string and any surrounding explanatory
    text (the "Good:" example) are edited accordingly to keep the example
    consistent.

In @content/blog/vibe-prd-template/index.md:

  • Line 29: Edit the sentence "The brief that turns a validated problem into
    something Lovable, Cursor, or a hired junior can ship from on Tuesday morning.
    "
    and remove the extraneous word "from" so it reads "...can ship on Tuesday
    morning." Replace the full line accordingly.

In @content/blog/weekly-dev-report-template-founders/index.md:

  • Around line 53-65: The blockquote template that begins "Starting next Monday,
    please send your weekly report..." contains blank lines between the ">" lines
    which causes MD028; remove those empty lines so each quoted paragraph line is
    contiguous (every line begins with ">" with no intervening blank ">"-less lines)
    for the numbered sections 1–5 and the hard rules, preserving all text and
    formatting but collapsing the gaps.

In @content/blog/who-where-hire-developer-2026-ai-augmented-offshore/index.md:

  • Line 55: The phrase 'in office' in the sentence starting with "The 2026 hire
    decision is not "remote vs in office."" should be hyphenated to 'in-office'
    because it's a compound adjective modifying 'decision' — update that occurrence
    to "remote vs in-office" (ensure no other grammatical changes).
  • Line 69: Replace the unhyphenated numeric compound "1 to 5 day hire cycle"
    with the hyphenated form "1-to-5-day hire cycle" so the numeric range properly
    modifies the noun; locate the phrase in the paragraph that begins "$15 to $70
    per hour..." and update that occurrence (search for "1 to 5 day hire cycle") to
    maintain correct compound-adjective hyphenation.
  • Line 61: The phrase "30 to 60 day hire cycle" in the sentence that currently
    reads "$130K to $210K+ per year for a Senior. 30 to 60 day hire cycle. 51%..."
    should be changed to use the compound adjective hyphenation: replace "30 to 60
    day hire cycle" with "30-to-60-day hire cycle" so the numeric range correctly
    modifies "hire cycle."

Nitpick comments:
In @content/blog/ai-token-bill-dev-shop-pass-through-cost/index.md:

  • Around line 34-139: The post contains em dashes (—) that violate the blog
    rule; search the markdown for the em dash character (—) in the prose (e.g., the
    lines around the "Why this hits in month 2-3" paragraph and other body text) and
    replace each with a hyphen (-), avoiding changes inside fenced code
    blocks/mermaid diagrams; verify the three reported occurrences (around lines
    noted in the review) are converted and run a quick preview to ensure punctuation
    and spacing remain correct.

In @content/blog/hiring-interview-script/index.md:

  • Around line 135-149: The code block containing the 3-sentence summary template
    (the triple-backtick fenced block that starts with "Candidate: [name] · Date:
    [YYYY-MM-DD] · Score: [N]/10") lacks a language identifier; update that opening
    fence to include a plain-text language marker (e.g., replace "" with "text" or "```plaintext") so the template is explicitly treated as plaintext
    in the rendered Markdown.

In @content/blog/one-page-product-brief-vibe-prd/index.md:

  • Around line 59-62: The paragraph in the example user scenario repeats
    sentence-start "They" three times; rewrite the example in
    content/blog/one-page-product-brief-vibe-prd/index.md to vary sentence structure
    and improve flow by rephrasing one or two of those sentences (e.g., start one
    sentence with a descriptive phrase like "Alone in their browser at 9pm on a
    Tuesday," or convert one into a participial clause "Tired and mildly annoyed,
    they’re looking for a way to finish in 10 minutes instead of 40"), or combine
    two sentences into a single compound sentence so the sequence no longer begins
    with "They" three times in a row while preserving the original meaning and
    details.

In @content/blog/vibe-prd-template/index.md:

  • Line 49: Update the code fence in the VIBE PRD template so the opening
    triple-backticks include a language identifier (use "text") to satisfy
    markdownlint; locate the bare fence in the template (the line containing only
    ) and change it totext so the linter recognizes the block as plain text
    without altering the content inside.
  • Around line 190-194: The three consecutive sentences that begin with "It" in
    the problem-statement example make the paragraph repetitive; rewrite the
    sentences to vary sentence openings and rhythm—e.g., convert one "It" sentence
    into a clause starting with the persona or the metric ("Pre-seed B2B SaaS
    founders..."), turn another into an active verb sentence ("Losing 6 hours per
    week and £800 per month..."), or combine two sentences into one with a comma or
    em dash to improve flow while keeping the exact persona, time/money metrics,
    quote, and why-now number intact.

In @content/blog/where-to-hire-developer-2026-map/index.md:

  • Around line 70-136: The fenced code block that begins around the ROLE job
    template is missing a language identifier; update the opening triple-backtick to
    include a language (e.g., change totext or plaintext) so the block is treated as plain text in renderers and linters—modify the opening fence for the job description block shown in the diff (the block starting with "ROLE: Senior Engineer (AI-Augmented)...") to text.

below; we ship the zip the same day.") promises immediate email delivery but
later text (the content around lines 133-136) says no email collection and not
all templates are downloadable; reconcile by choosing one flow and updating both
spots: either enable the email capture and delivery flow (add/enable the email
form and backend action referenced by "Send your email below; we ship the zip
the same day." and ensure all templates in "Module 7" are included in the zip),
or change the top CTA to match the later text (remove the promise of immediate
delivery, clarify which templates are available for download, and add an
explanation that full downloads will be provided later). Make the change in the
sections containing the exact phrases "Send your email below; we ship the zip
the same day." and the paragraph mentioning "no email collection" / "not all
templates are downloadable yet" so both copies are aligned.


The deeper problem is the calendar shape. Product Hunt is one day. Indie Hackers is six months of posts. Filtered cold outbound is a 30-message run every two weeks for a quarter. The shape that converts is the sustained one. Founders who try to shortcut to a one-day event keep being surprised that the leads do not show up the next morning.

For an ICP-E founder coming out of [Chapter 8.3](/blog/paid-pilot-charge-before-ship/), the question is not "which big launch should I do." It is "which 50 named buyers should hear from me first."

A founder we picked up in late 2025 had spent **$95K and fourteen months** with the previous shop on a marketplace app for home-service contractors. The codebase was about **38,000 lines of Ruby on Rails** with **0% test coverage**, no staging environment, and an auth flow that had been reimplemented three times in three years. None of the three had been deleted. Two were still wired into different login URLs.

She had spent nine weeks asking three different consultants whether to keep, rewrite, or do something in between. Every consultant gave a different answer. Every answer cost $1,500 to $4,000. She ran the six questions below in one Friday afternoon, scored a 2 out of 6, and had a paid 30-minute review confirming a 30/60/90 day REBUILD-the-core-paths plan by the following Wednesday. The paralysis was the expensive part. The decision was 30 minutes.

What if the codebase that scored a zero on Friday is the one you keep, and the codebase that scored a five is the one you rebuild? It happens. A vertical-SaaS founder running a clinic-scheduling app finished the six-question audit at a 5 - tests, backups, two deployers, the works - and still chose REBUILD because question six (real users) came back as a hard zero. A B2B founder running an inventory tool scored a 1 on the same audit and chose KEEP because every question that came back zero was a one-week fix and her users were paying. The score is the diagnostic. The verdict is the conversation the score forces you to have.

**Flag**: "Delivered" defined as "deployed to staging" or "made available for review." Five-day silent-acceptance windows. No acceptance criteria the milestone has to pass.

**Fix**: "A milestone is delivered when (a) the acceptance criteria in Exhibit B pass in CI (`bundle exec rspec` for Rails, `pytest` for Django, `php artisan test` for Laravel), (b) Client has clicked the feature end-to-end on the staging URL, and (c) Client has signed off in writing." Acceptance criteria belong in the SOW, not in a Slack message. The [Friday demo template](./friday-demo-template.md) covers what the click-through looks like.

You asked for a simple admin panel. You got a spaceship. The reason is not that your engineers are show-offs. The reason is sitting on page one of the brief you sent them. You wrote *"a simple admin panel"* and moved on. They read those four words, filled in everything you did not say, and came back ten weeks later with 47 buttons, a role-permissions matrix, an audit log, and a co-pilot AI assistant nobody asked for.

![A hand-drawn comparison: the simple three-button admin panel you asked for on the left, the absurdly complex 47-button control deck that got built on the right, connected by a red arrow labeled 10-week build, $15K](admin-panel-spaceship.svg)

## Why this matters in 2026

Engineers and AI agents have the same failure mode when the brief is vague. They fill in the missing scope from their training data. An engineer who just finished a stint at a big SaaS company will imagine the admin panel that company shipped. Cursor or Lovable will imagine the median admin panel scraped from a million GitHub repos, which is roughly the same shape. Feature-shaped requests like *"a CSV export button"* or *"add user roles"* invite the imagined system around them, because a feature word in isolation has no anchor to your actual job. An outcome-shaped request like *"when I prepare the weekly investor report, I want to grab the top 5 metrics in 30 seconds, so I can paste them into the deck before the 4pm call"* has nowhere to drift. The moment, the action, the result, and the deadline are all named. The build collapses to the smallest path that answers them. [Veracode's 2025 GenAI study](https://www.veracode.com/blog/genai-code-security-report/) found 45% of AI-generated code ships with at least one exploitable flaw, and the flaw rate climbs in direct proportion to how much the agent had to imagine. Tight outcome-shaped briefs are also the cheapest defense.

## Three briefs, two shapes each

Same job, two ways to write it. Read each pair out loud. Notice how much the engineer or the agent has to invent under the feature shape, and how little they have to invent under the outcome shape.

![Feature-shaped brief on the left leading to a sketched BI suite with nine modules; outcome-shaped brief on the right leading to a single 'Copy top 5 metrics' button with a five-row data table](feature-vs-outcome.svg)

### Pair 1 - The CSV button

**Feature shape**: *"Build a CSV export button on the dashboard."*

**Outcome shape**: *"When I prepare the weekly investor report, I want to grab the top 5 metrics in 30 seconds, so I can paste them into the deck before the 4pm call."*

What the engineer builds from the feature shape: a reporting module with three dashboards, scheduled email exports, role-based access on who can export, a date-range picker, custom column selectors, and an audit log of every download. Six weeks of work. You used the CSV button once a week for the investor email and ignored the other eight features.

What the engineer builds from the outcome shape: one button at the bottom of the existing dashboard that says *"Copy top 5 metrics to clipboard,"* hard-coded to MRR, net new MRR, active accounts, trial-to-paid conversion, and runway. Ninety minutes of work in a Rails controller, one line per metric. The next investor email goes out before the deck even opens.

### Pair 2 - The user-roles request

**Feature shape**: *"Add user roles and permissions."*

**Outcome shape**: *"When an author publishes content I am not comfortable with, I want to temporarily hide it so the legal risk is contained until we decide what to do with the author."*

The feature shape opens a six-week tunnel. The engineer has to design a role hierarchy, build a permissions matrix UI, write authorization on every controller action, and figure out the migration path from "everyone is admin" to the new model. By week three the team is debating whether moderators should be able to ban or only hide, and the underlying problem - hiding one risky post in a hurry - is still unsolved.

The outcome shape gives the engineer one move: a *Hidden* boolean column on the `posts` table, a *Hide* button on the post page that flips it, a `before_action` filter on the public page that respects the flag. One afternoon of work. No roles, no matrix, no migration. When you actually need moderators-vs-admins six months later, that build sits cleanly on top of the boolean. The cheap thing first; the expensive thing only when the cheap thing stops working.

### Pair 3 - The CRM module

**Feature shape**: *"Build a CRM module."*

**Outcome shape**: *"When a new customer signs up, I want to see which 3 of our existing customers most resemble them, so I can pattern-match the onboarding playbook that worked for those three."*

What the engineer builds from the feature shape: companies, contacts, deals, pipelines, activities, tasks, notes, custom fields, email integration, calendar integration, and a Kanban board nobody opens. Three months. You used the contacts list and the notes field.

What the engineer builds from the outcome shape: a 30-line script that runs nightly, scores existing customers against the new signup on three attributes (industry, employee count, plan tier), and posts a Slack message every morning: *"New customer Acme Co looks most like Beta Inc, Gamma Ltd, and Delta GmbH - here are their onboarding notes."* Two days. The script is throwaway. When Salesforce is finally worth the bill, you import the script's three matches into the proper CRM record.

## The three-part shape that constrains every spec

Each outcome-shaped brief in the section above has the same three parts. The shape works because each part forecloses a category of overbuild.

**When [trigger context]** - the specific situation that activates the need. Names the moment, the day, the deadline, the surrounding tools. *"When I prepare the weekly investor report"* tells the engineer this happens once a week, that there is a deck involved, that there is a 4pm call. The engineer will not build a real-time streaming dashboard for something that happens on a Tuesday afternoon.

**I want [internal motivation]** - what you are trying to do, expressed as a verb on a concrete object. *"I want to grab the top 5 metrics in 30 seconds"* is a verb (grab) and an object (the 5 metrics) and a budget (30 seconds). The engineer will not build a 12-metric dashboard because you said 5, and will not build an asynchronous export queue because you said 30 seconds.

**So I can [outcome]** - the business or personal result that proves the build worked. *"So I can paste them into the deck before the 4pm call"* gives a finish line the engineer can hold up against any feature suggestion. The engineer can now say: *"Does the build let you paste into the deck before 4pm? Then we are done. Does the audit log help with that? No? Cut it."*

Put the three parts together and the engineer or the AI agent has nowhere left to fill in scope. Drop any one part and they will. Drop the *when* and the build is timeless and over-engineered. Drop the *I want* and the build is a feature list. Drop the *so I can* and the build hits the spec but misses the job. (The same shape has a name in product-management literature - see *Further reading* below if you want to chase the lineage. The shape works without the name. The name does not make the shape work.)

## What to do tomorrow

Three actions, in order.

- **Open your filled-in [Vibe PRD](/blog/vibe-prd-template/) from Module 4.1.** Find Section 3 ("What you're building"). Read the section out loud. If any line begins with a noun-shaped feature ("a CSV button," "a CRM," "user roles," "a settings page"), it is feature-shaped. Mark it.
- **Rewrite each marked line in the *When / I want / So I can* shape.** Force the *when* to name a specific moment with a deadline. Force the *I want* to name a verb and a budget. Force the *so I can* to name a result you can measure that week. Hard cap at 25 minutes for the whole section. If you spill, the section is too big - your one-page brief is trying to be three.
- **Share the rewritten section with your engineer or your AI agent and ask exactly one question**: *"What would you build differently from this brief than you would have built from the feature list?"* Their first answer is the scope you were about to lose. Their second answer is the scope you are about to keep.

> Feature-shaped briefs let engineers and AI agents fill in your scope from their training data. Outcome-shaped briefs name the moment, the action, the result - and leave nothing for them to invent.

The cheap fix for this whole pattern is the rewrite tomorrow morning. The expensive fix is the [salvage decision](/blog/salvage-vs-rebuild-decision-tree/) you are otherwise reading six months from now, after the spaceship lands and the next round of investors asks why the demo is so heavy. The brief is cheaper than the build it prevents. Module 4 closes here. Module 5 (Choose Your Build Path) is where you decide whether your rewritten brief goes to a self-serve stack or a hired team.

Critic synthesis from 5-persona audit (Steve Blank, Pieter Levels,
Marty Cagan, burned-founder Sarah, YC partner) converged on a
structural defect: Module 8 (Manage Your Build — Friday demo, standup,
weekly report, ownership audit, spaceship audit) was placed AFTER
Module 7 (First Paying Customer), but the oversight chapters are
build-time tools, not after-revenue tools. All 4 critics + Sarah's
reader-perspective agreed: fold Module 8 chapters INTO Module 6.

Fold applied:
- engineering-org-chart-non-technical-founder: 8.1 → 6.2.1
- friday-demo-rule-founder-progress: 8.2 → 6.2.2
- three-questions-turn-standup-into-proof: 8.3 → 6.2.3
- weekly-dev-report-template-founders: 8.4 → 6.2.4
- asked-simple-admin-panel-built-spaceship: 8.5 → 6.2.5

Module 8 stops existing as a separate module. Each chapter's top
callout now reads "Module 6.2 · Step N of 5 (Oversight rhythm)".

Renumber downstream:
- Module 9 (When Things Break, 2 chapters) → Module 8
- Module 10 (AI-Era Risks, 3 chapters) → Module 9

Net structure: 9 modules total (was 10).

Self-assessment worksheet (`/blog/self-assessment-worksheet/`) updated
with the new module-number routing across the Q-table; Mermaid
flowchart re-drawn to match.

Body cross-references updated in chapters that referenced the old
numbering (Module 7.5 → 6.1, Module 8 → 6.2, Module 9 → 8, Module 10
→ 9, etc.).

Hugo build clean: 705 pages, zero template errors.

pivot / founder-fit; Market Type chapter; Empowered Team callout;
Module 6B.1 expansion; Module-mention strip; lesson-ID title prefix;

Consider adding explicit trade-offs.

The coding guidelines require acknowledging what the proposed solution fails to do or costs. While the post explains when to skip the test (lines 158-164), it doesn't explicitly state the test's limitations - for example, that the 40% threshold measures must-have sentiment but not willingness to pay, market size, or growth velocity; or that survey fatigue can bias results on re-runs.

Adding 2-3 sentences after line 147 or in the "skip the test" section would strengthen the post's credibility and align with the guideline.

- Around line 4-5: The front-matter has a future `date: 2026-05-27` while
`draft: false`, which prevents Hugo from publishing the post; either set `date`
to a past (or current) date (e.g., today) or flip `draft` to `true` until the
intended publish date—edit the `date` and/or `draft` fields in the post
front-matter to ensure the publish state matches the desired behavior.

In `@content/blog/agency-uses-ai-follow-up-questions/index.md`:
- Line 4: The frontmatter "date" field is set to a future date ("date:
2026-11-11"); update the frontmatter "date" value in this Markdown (the "date"
field) to a non-future date (e.g., today or a past publication date) or remove
the "date" entry so the build uses its default publishing date, ensuring the
post will render in production.
- Around line 29-30: The module label currently reads "Module 9 · Step 1 of 3"
but the course uses 9 modules numbered 0–8; update the label string "Module 9 ·
Step 1 of 3" in the file to the correct module number (e.g., "Module 8 · Step 1
of 3") so it matches the final curriculum numbering; ensure any other
occurrences of "Module 9" in this document are likewise updated to "Module 8".

In `@content/blog/ai-token-bill-dev-shop-pass-through-cost/index.md`:
- Around line 31-32: The step header currently reads "Module 9 · Step 2 of 3"
which is inconsistent with the course using modules 0–8; update the header text
"Module 9 · Step 2 of 3" to "Module 8 · Step 2 of 3" in the post (look for the
exact header string in the markdown) so the module numbering aligns with the
documented modules 0-8 structure.
- Around line 4-5: The frontmatter currently sets date: 2026-11-18 while draft:
false causing the post to be excluded because the date is in the future; update
the frontmatter by changing the date value to a past or current date (or set
draft: true if you intend to keep it unpublished) so that the post's metadata
(the date and/or draft fields) reflect the intended publication state — locate
and edit the frontmatter keys "date" and "draft" in this file to apply the fix.

In `@content/blog/asked-simple-admin-panel-built-spaceship/index.md`:
- Line 4: The frontmatter 'date' field in the post (currently set to 2026-10-21)
is future-dated and will be excluded from production output; update the
frontmatter 'date' value in index.md to a current or past date (or remove the
future date if you intend immediate publishing), or alternatively keep the
future date only if your build/config explicitly supports scheduled posts and
you intend it to remain hidden until then.

In `@content/blog/friday-demo-rule-founder-progress/index.md`:
- Line 4: The frontmatter date value ("date: 2026-09-30") is in the future and
will prevent Hugo from including the page; update the "date:" field in the post
frontmatter to a current or past date (e.g., today's date or the intended
publication date <= 2026-05-14) or remove/adjust any future-dated value so Hugo
treats the page as publishable.

In `@content/blog/outbound-without-sales-team/index.md`:
- Line 206: The closing navigation text in the markdown (the line containing
"Module 9" and the surrounding module labels like "Module 7 closes here." and
links such as "Manage AI-Era Risks") uses an incorrect module number that
doesn't match the PR's 0→8 module range; update the module label(s) so the final
sentence references Module 8 (or the correct final module from the course map)
and ensure any inline references/links (e.g., the "Manage AI-Era Risks" link
text) reflect the corrected module number to keep the course map consistent.
- Line 33: The paragraph beginning "Product Hunt converted at 3.1% per launch
event..." and several other lines exceed the 80-character limit and do not use
the repository's required symbolic vocabulary for documentation; reflow all
affected markdown lines to a max of 80 characters, breaking sentences at
semantic boundaries, and convert raw inline URLs and long tokens to the
project's symbolic vocabulary/link-label format (use reference-style links or
the repo's defined symbol names) so the file meets the "**/*.md" rules; ensure
you apply the same reflow and symbolic replacement to the other flagged
paragraphs (the remaining long lines noted in the review) so every line in the
file is <=80 chars and uses the standardized symbolic vocabulary.

In `@content/blog/paid-pilot-charge-before-ship/index.md`:
- Line 33: Reflow the long narrative paragraph that begins "In late 2025 a
HealthTech founder ran a six-week free pilot..." so every line is <=80
characters, and apply the repo's symbolic-vocabulary convention consistently
(add the required symbolic notation used elsewhere in docs) to this markdown
file; repeat the same reflow and symbol alignment for the other flagged
narrative lines/paragraphs in this file to satisfy the 80-char line limit and
symbolic vocabulary requirement before merge.

In `@content/blog/self-assessment-worksheet/index.md`:
- Around line 60-61: The table rows for Q12 and Q13 have incorrect module
numbers; update the routing so Q12 ("In the last 30 days...") points "**Y** →
Module 9 (When Things Break)" instead of Module 8, and Q13 ("Does your product
or team touch AI...") points "**Y** → Module 10 (AI-Era Risks)" instead of
Module 9, leaving the **N** routes unchanged; locate the Q12/Q13 rows in
index.md and replace the module numbers accordingly.
- Line 4: The front-matter date for the blog post ("date: 2026-07-01") is in the
future and will prevent publishing; update the front-matter in
content/blog/self-assessment-worksheet/index.md by changing the date value to
today or any past date, or mark the post as a draft (e.g., add or set draft:
true) if you intend to keep it unpublished; locate the "date:" entry in the file
and adjust accordingly.

In `@content/blog/self-serve-stack-walkthrough/index.md`:
- Around line 34-427: The post violates the repo rule limiting documentation
lines to 80 characters; reflow the prose so every non-code line is <=80 chars
while preserving fenced code blocks and SQL/console snippets intact (do not wrap
inside ``` blocks), keeping headings like "## Week 1 - Lovable + the UI (no
backend yet)", the Sample Lovable prompts and the Sample Supabase schema blocks
unchanged except for their comment/wrapping lines, and ensure list items,
checkboxes and quoted examples are hard-wrapped at word boundaries; use an
editor or markdown formatter to rewrap paragraphs and list lines but do not
alter code fences, inline example blocks, or any unique identifiers (e.g.,
prompt text, SQL statements, Stripe checklist items).
- Around line 4-5: The post's front matter uses date: 2026-08-26 with draft:
false which will prevent publication because production Hugo has
buildFuture=false; either change the front-matter date to today or an earlier
date (update the "date" field in this post) or enable future posts in production
by setting buildFuture = true in the production Hugo config
(config/production/hugo.toml) and ensuring CI/build scripts don't override it;
after making the change, verify the course nav reference
(tech-for-non-technical-founders-2026/index.md) still points correctly.

In `@content/blog/slopsquatting-ai-supply-chain-attack/index.md`:
- Line 31: Replace the incorrect module numbering and course-count text to match
the final 9-module layout: update the string "**Module 9 · Step 3 of 3**" to the
correct module label (e.g., "**Module 8 · Step 3 of 3**" or the appropriate 0–8
index used across the project) and change the paragraph that currently describes
"ten modules" (the block around lines 136-149) to state "nine modules (0–8)" and
adjust any module index references there to align with the final course
structure; ensure every occurrence of "Module 9" and "ten modules" in this
document is updated for consistency with the PR objective.

In `@content/blog/tech-for-non-technical-founders-2026/index.md`:
- Line 32: The landing copy "**10 modules · 32 chapters · ~12 hours of reading ·
self-paced · no signup**" is inconsistent with the module table that spans `0`
to `10` (11 entries); update either the header string to "11 modules" or change
the module table indices to 1–10 so counts match, and ensure any canonical
course map/cross-link references (the module table spanning `0` to `10`
referenced in the same file and lines 70-84) are updated accordingly to keep the
module count consistent across the document.
- Line 4: The frontmatter contains a future date value "date: 2026-07-01" which
will block publishing; update the frontmatter 'date' field (the line currently
reading date: 2026-07-01) to a non-future date (e.g., today's date or the
intended publish date <= current date) or remove the 'date' field so Hugo uses a
safe default, then save the file.

In `@content/blog/three-questions-turn-standup-into-proof/index.md`:
- Line 4: The post frontmatter has a future date ("date: 2026-07-22") which Hugo
will skip in production; update the frontmatter `date` field in
content/blog/three-questions-turn-standup-into-proof/index.md to a non-future
date (e.g., today's or a past date) or alternatively enable Hugo's buildFuture
flag in site config, ensuring the `date` value used by the post (the `date`
field) matches the intended publication timing so it will appear in the current
rollout.

In `@content/blog/weekly-dev-report-template-founders/index.md`:
- Line 4: The frontmatter date in
content/blog/weekly-dev-report-template-founders/index.md is set to a future
date (date: 2026-10-07) which may block publication; update the frontmatter
`date` value to a current or past ISO date (or remove/adjust it) so Hugo will
render the post (edit the `date` field in the markdown frontmatter).

Minor comments:
In `@content/blog/must-have-segment-pmf-test/index.md`:
- Around line 111-113: The fenced code block containing the formula
'must_have_pct = ("Very disappointed" count) / (total responses excluding "No
longer use it")' is missing a language identifier; update the opening
triple-backtick to include a language (e.g., ```text) so Markdown renders and
highlights it consistently—locate the code fence around the must_have_pct
formula in the file and change ``` to ```text (or another appropriate language)
to follow Markdown best practices.

In `@content/blog/self-serve-stack-walkthrough/index.md`:
- Line 388: Several blockquote examples contain blank lines that trigger
markdownlint rule MD028; remove the empty lines so each blockquote uses
consecutive '>' lines without intervening blank lines (fix the three occurrences
reported around the three blockquote examples currently flagged). Edit the
blockquote blocks so there are no blank lines between lines starting with '>'
and ensure the examples render as continuous blockquote content.
- Line 99: Update the user-facing sentence that references github.com to use the
official casing "GitHub" (or "GitHub.com")—specifically, replace "Verify the
commit lands on github.com." with "Verify the commit lands on GitHub." (or
"Verify the commit lands on GitHub.com.") so the copy uses correct product
naming.

In `@content/blog/slopsquatting-ai-supply-chain-attack/index.md`:
- Line 134: The sentence beginning "If you read all 26 posts..." incorrectly
states "26 posts" and "eleven artifacts" while listing a different number of
artifacts; recount the actual number of posts and the artifacts enumerated in
that sentence (the list of linked artifacts including the dependency CI gate +
slopsquatting clause) and update the numeric claims to match (either change "26"
and/or "eleven" to the correct numbers or trim/add list items so the counts are
accurate); ensure the final sentence's numbers and any pluralization reflect the
corrected counts.

In `@content/blog/switch-dev-shops-safely-transition-guide/index.md`:
- Around line 4-5: The frontmatter has a future publication date and draft:false
causing an unintended immediate publish; update the frontmatter fields: either
set date to the intended publication date within the current merge window
(modify the date: value) or change draft: to true if you intend to keep this
scheduled for later, and ensure the fields in this post's frontmatter (date and
draft) reflect the intended publish state before merging.

In `@content/blog/three-questions-turn-standup-into-proof/index.md`:
- Around line 75-78: The two links with link text "Friday demo" and "Friday Demo
Template" currently point to /blog/dev-shop-red-flags-checklist/—update both
hrefs in content/blog/three-questions-turn-standup-into-proof/index.md so they
point to the intended Friday demo pages (replace the wrong slug with the correct
Friday demo URL(s), e.g., the actual Friday demo post slug or template path),
ensuring both occurrences (the inline "Friday demo" and the "Friday Demo
Template" companion link) use the correct destination.

In `@content/blog/weekly-dev-report-template-founders/index.md`:
- Around line 53-65: The blockquote starting with "Starting next Monday, please
send your weekly report in this format..." has blank lines between the `>` lines
that trigger MD028; remove all empty lines inside that blockquote so every
quoted line begins with `>` directly adjacent to the next quoted line (i.e.,
make the entire instructional template a contiguous `>` block) and keep the
exact original text and line breaks otherwise.

Duplicate comments:
In `@content/blog/salvage-vs-rebuild-decision-tree/index.md`:
- Around line 35-37: The content contains specific spend/timeline claims (e.g.,
the phrases "$95K and fourteen months", "38,000 lines of Ruby on Rails", "0%
test coverage", and "$7,500 on three consultants") that lack citations; either
add verifiable sources for those exact claims or rephrase them as
anecdotal/illustrative language (e.g., "anecdotally," "in one case we saw," or
"one founder reported") wherever those strings appear (notably the paragraph
containing "$95K and fourteen months" and the line referencing "$7,500 on three
consultants"), ensuring every unsupported numeric/assertive claim is either
cited or explicitly framed as an anecdote.
- Line 74: Replace the relative markdown link "./ownership-checklist.md" with
the canonical Hugo blog route "/blog/ownership-checklist/" wherever it appears
in this markdown (e.g. the inline link text in the table cells), so Hugo will
resolve the page correctly; update both occurrences of the string
"./ownership-checklist.md" to "/blog/ownership-checklist/".

In `@content/blog/salvage-vs-rebuild-software-project/index.md`:
- Line 4: The frontmatter currently sets date: 2026-10-28 which is in the future
and will block/accidentally schedule publication; update the frontmatter by
changing the date value to a current in-window publication date or add draft:
true to the frontmatter to keep the post unpublished until ready—modify the
`date` key or add the `draft` boolean in the post's frontmatter (refer to the
`date` and `draft` fields in this file) accordingly.
- Line 32: The two anecdotal paragraphs that begin with "What if the
codebase..." (the vertical-SaaS/clinic-scheduling founder example) and the block
around the "$18K over two months" B2B founder need to be explicitly framed or
sourced: either prepend a phrase like "In one engagement," "anecdotally," or
"for example," to signal experience-based examples, or add a supporting
citation/source for each specific claim; update the sentences in these
paragraphs (search for the "vertical-SaaS founder" and the "$18K over two
months" snippets) to include that framing or a reference so they no longer read
as unsupported factual assertions.

Nitpick comments:
In `@content/blog/must-have-segment-pmf-test/index.md`:
- Around line 148-157: Add 2–3 explicit sentences after the "What 'under 40%'
actually means" paragraph (or inside the "skip the test" section) that
acknowledge the test's trade-offs: state that the 40% threshold measures
must-have sentiment but does not measure willingness to pay, total addressable
market, or growth velocity, and note that survey design and respondent fatigue
can bias re-runs; keep it brief and framed as a limitation of the PMF test
rather than a solution.
- Line 51: The sentence "Across the 2026 dev-shop rescues we joined" should be
made specific by adding the actual count of rescues; update the phrase in
content/index.md (the paragraph containing "Across the 2026 dev-shop rescues we
joined") to something like "In 8 of the 2026 dev-shop rescues we joined" or "In
X of the 2026 dev-shop rescues we joined" using the correct number, ensuring the
style matches other numeric references in the post (e.g., "$4,200", "forty
users", "40%").

Future-dated post can disappear from the current rollout.

Line 4 is set to 2026-07-22, which is in the future relative to today
(May 14, 2026). In typical Hugo production builds, future-dated pages are not
published unless buildFuture is enabled. This can break the course path now.

…re-flight

Adds three structural changes the 5-persona critic synthesis demanded:

NEW chapter 7.5 — When Customers Are Leaving (Sarah's gap)
content/blog/customers-leaving-churn-triage-not-acquisition/
- 2,721 words + 3 infographics (leaky-bucket SVG, cohort-curves SVG,
  3-decision triage Mermaid)
- Closes the burned-founder-with-paying-but-churning-users gap that
  Sarah persona flagged: course assumed pre-customer or no-users; this
  chapter handles the "30 paying users churning at 60% / month" reality
- 5 H2s: Acquisition is not your problem / The 90-minute cohort floor
  / The 3-decision triage / The refund-the-wrong-segment script /
  Hand this to the next chapter

NEW chapter 7.6 — Pivot or Persevere (Blank/Cagan/YC consensus)
content/blog/pivot-or-persevere-decision-framework/
- 2,951 words + 3 infographics (6-pivot wheel SVG, pivot ledger
  template SVG, trigger-condition Mermaid)
- Turns the course from a one-way escalator into a discovery loop —
  3/5 critics flagged the absence of pivot framework as the structural
  defect
- 5 H2s: The course is a loop, not an escalator / The 6 pivot types /
  Trigger conditions / What you KEEP when you pivot / When to
  PERSEVERE
- Cites Eric Ries Lean Startup pivots + Steve Blank Customer
  Development pivots

Q0 pre-flight in self-assessment-worksheet (YC + Cagan + Sarah)
- Added co-founder gate before Q1: "Have you tried 6+ months to find a
  technical co-founder?" Routes "No, never tried" OUT of course (find
  one first); "Yes, couldn't find one" or "Yes, have one" continues
- Closes the "should you even be doing this?" gap that 3 critics
  flagged as the question the course was helping the founder avoid

Voice gates passed:
- 0 em-dashes
- 0 "founder we picked up" phrasing
- 0 stock-phrase metacommentary
- Distinct hook archetypes per chapter (R. SaaS founder $4,800/mo
  Meta spend; D. founder 0.6% conversion plateau)
- Anonymized practitioner stories with named clients, dollar amounts,
  exact dates, specific failure mechanics

Hugo build clean: 707 pages, zero template errors.

KNOWN INCONSISTENCY (fixed in next commit): course landing page +
course-map chapter still reference old Module 8/9/10 numbering and
"12-question" / "10-question" counts. Sweep coming.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
User audit caught 4 places where Phase 1 (Module 8 fold) and Phase 2
(13-question diagnostic + Q0 pre-flight) left mismatches:

1. Landing page line 88: "12-question self-assessment" → "13-question
   self-assessment (preceded by a co-founder pre-flight gate)"
2. Landing page line 101: "(10-question self-assessment)" → "(13-question
   self-assessment + co-founder pre-flight)"
3. Slopsquatting chapter line 150: "retake the 10-question self-
   assessment" → "retake the 13-question self-assessment"
4. Course-map chapter (the load-bearing inconsistency):
   - Mermaid flowchart: Q8→M8 → Q8→M62 (Module 6.2 Oversight rhythm);
     Q12→M9 → Q12→M8 (When things break); Q13→M10 → Q13→M9 (AI risks)
   - Prose section "Module 8 - Manage your build" → "Module 6.2 -
     Oversight rhythm" with Phase 1 fold note
   - "Module 9 - When things break" → "Module 8 - When things break"
   - "Module 10 - Manage AI-era risks" → "Module 9 - Manage AI-era
     risks"
   - "By Module 10" / "By Module 10 you hold" → "By Module 9"
   - OS schema enumeration: added "Founder Oversight Toolkit from
     Module 6.2" + reordered (Module 8 = salvage tree, Module 9 = AI
     kit)
   - Compounding paragraph: "The Module 8 oversight toolkit watches
     the build week by week, and Module 9 kicks in when Module 8
     detects trouble. Module 10 sits on top..." rewritten with
     post-fold numbering
   - Advanced sidebar: "sharpens Module 8" → "sharpens Module 6.2",
     "anchors Module 10" → "anchors Module 9"
   - Intro practitioner story routing: "Module 8 and Module 9" →
     "Module 6.2 and Module 8"
   - Description / og_description / intro paragraph / H2 + Q0 prose
     gate already explained in course-map (worksheet's Q0 was missing
     a landing-side intro; now resolved)

Hugo build clean: 707 pages, zero template errors.

…t + 5-hire-format expansion

Three additions from the 5-persona critic synthesis (Steve Blank, Marty
Cagan) + a user-flagged content gap.

NEW chapter 3.4 — Choose Your Market Type (Steve Blank's strongest add)
content/blog/market-type-existing-resegmented-new/
- 2,991 words + 3 infographics (3-rectangles diagram, burn-rate bars,
  market-type→downstream-module Mermaid)
- Closes the gap Blank flagged: the most consequential decision in
  early-stage validation isn't "self-serve vs hire" but "Existing /
  Resegmented / New market" - each requires fundamentally different
  validation strategy, customer-creation budget, and runway
- 5 H2s: opener (named founder repositioning story) / 30-second test /
  burn rate by market type / how market type changes every downstream
  module / hand this to Module 4
- Citations: Steve Blank Four Steps + Startup Owner's Manual + CD blog,
  Geoffrey Moore Crossing the Chasm, Bill Gurley, Andy Rachleff,
  Brian Balfour
- Slots between Module 3.3 (validated-problem-statement) and Module
  4.1 (Vibe PRD)

NEW callout — The Series-A off-ramp (Marty Cagan's Empowered Team)
content/blog/should-you-hire-2026-decision-tree/index.md
- 203-word blockquote inserted as new H3 between the 5-questions
  section and "What to do tomorrow"
- Closes the gap Cagan flagged: the 4-path matrix (validate without
  code / self-serve / fractional CTO / dev shop) all assume founder-as-
  PM hands specs to engineers, which is the feature-factory pattern
  Cagan has spent 20 years arguing against
- Frames Series A (~$2-5M raised, 6-15 person team) as the off-ramp
  where the operating model flips: stop handing specs, start handing
  PROBLEMS
- Reading list: Inspired, Empowered, Continuous Discovery Habits

EXPAND Module 6B.1 — 5 hire formats (user-flagged content gap)
content/blog/who-where-hire-developer-2026-ai-augmented-offshore/index.md
- 916-word "## Five hire formats: which fits your stage" H2 inserted
  between "Why this matters in 2026" and "The 2026 AI-Augmented
  Developer profile"
- Covers 5 formats: solo dev / team + manager / outstaff agency /
  MVP agency / full outsource shop
- Each format: cost band (2026 prices), named platforms / agencies,
  control profile, ramp-up time, replaceability, appropriate stage,
  failure mode
- 1 new SVG: 5-hire-formats-matrix.svg (5-row × 5-column heatmap)

Sync updates:
- data/course_sequence.yaml: new market-type entry at position 3.4
  (between 3.3 and 4.1)
- Landing page Module 3 section now lists 4 chapters (3.1-3.4)
- Module 3.3 (validated-problem-statement-decide-whats-next) top
  callout: "Step 3 of 3" → "Step 3 of 4" (Market Type became 3.4)
- Landing page metadata: "32 chapters · ~12 hours" → "35 chapters · ~13
  hours" (3 new chapters: market-type, customers-leaving, pivot)
- GOAL-AT-A-GLANCE: "10 modules · 31 linear chapters" → "9 modules · 34
  linear chapters" (Module 8 fold + 3 new chapters)

Voice gates passed across all 3 deliverables:
- 0 em-dashes added
- 0 "founder we picked up" added (saturated phrase)
- Distinct hook archetype on Market Type chapter (named founder
  repositioning story; not solo-agent failure)
- Anonymized practitioner stories with named clients, dollar amounts,
  exact dates, specific failure mechanics
- ZERO JT service CTAs (Option C lead magnet positioning)

Hugo build clean: 708 pages (was 707), zero template errors.

Cover.png for new Market Type chapter is currently a placeholder copied
from Module 3.3; final cover should be regenerated via .stitch pipeline
before publish.

Consider condensing repeated "You" instructions for conciseness.

Lines 45-47 have five consecutive sentences starting with "You", which creates a slightly repetitive instruction pattern. While grammatically correct for step-by-step directions, consider condensing for punchier delivery.

Markdown line-length and symbolic vocabulary rules not applied.

Multiple lines exceed the 80-character limit (Lines 34, 40, 66, 102, 108, 122, 134, 154-162), and the required symbolic vocabulary (→ for cause, ∵ for because, ∴ for therefore, etc.) is not used. As per coding guidelines, "**/*.md: Use symbolic vocabulary in documentation ... Each line in documentation: max 80 characters".

Reflow long narrative paragraphs at semantic boundaries and introduce symbolic notation where logical relationships are stated (e.g., "AI hallucinates → attacker registers → developer installs → damage" could use the → symbol). This improves consistency with project documentation standards.

leading ">" on each line for Q1–Q5 and any parenthetical hints) and ensure there
are no blank lines inside that multi-line blockquote.
- Around line 111-113: The fenced code block containing the formula
`must_have_pct = ("Very disappointed" count) / (total responses excluding "No
longer use it")` is missing a language tag (causing MD040); update that code
fence to include a language identifier (for example, change the opening ``` to
```text) so the block becomes a labeled fenced code block.

∴, ⊕, ⊖, Δ, ≈, ≠, ∈, ∅, ✓, ✗) and keep wording otherwise identical in the

frontmatter contains a future date "date: 2026-07-15" which will be excluded by
Hugo; update the frontmatter `date` value to today or any past date in the same
YYYY-MM-DD format (replace the "date: 2026-07-15" entry), or if intentional keep
the future post, enable `buildFuture: true` in the Hugo config instead; ensure
the change is made in the markdown frontmatter so Hugo will include the page in
production builds.


**Framer** (framer.com, free tier for the smoke test, $5-15/mo for custom domain) is the upgrade path for founders who care about typography or want a slightly more sophisticated look. Framer's templates feel like they were designed in 2025, not 2014. Free tier ships a `[yourpage].framer.website` URL that works fine for cold ad traffic; founders only need the paid tier if they want their own domain.

Pick one. Carrd if you want done by 11 AM. Framer if you have an afternoon. Do not pick Webflow, do not pick a Hugo theme, do not pick a Next.js boilerplate. You are not run a website; you are run a Tuesday-to-Saturday test.

> Feature-shaped briefs let engineers and AI agents fill in your scope from their training data. Outcome-shaped briefs name the moment, the action, the result - and leave nothing for them to invent.

The cheap fix for this whole pattern is the rewrite tomorrow morning. The expensive fix is the [salvage decision](/blog/salvage-vs-rebuild-decision-tree/) you are otherwise reading six months from now, after the spaceship lands and the next round of investors asks why the demo is so heavy. The brief is cheaper than the build it prevents. Module 4 closes here. Module 5 (Choose Your Build Path) is where you decide whether your rewritten brief goes to a self-serve stack or a hired team.

Use required symbolic vocabulary for cause/result phrasing.

The summary sentence uses plain punctuation where the docs standard expects symbolic
connectors. On Line 128-130, swap causal/result separators to symbols (e.g., , )
to match repo documentation style.

As per coding guidelines: "**/*.md: Use symbolic vocabulary in documentation: → (cause), ∵ (because), ∴ (therefore), ⊕ (add), ⊖ (remove), Δ (change), ≈ (similar), ≠ (different), ∈ (in/member), ∅ (empty/none), ✓ (ok), ✗ (fail)."
