How it works

The surfaces of Claude, and the one you start on.

Most people meet Claude in a chat box and stop there. This session starts you one layer up, on the surface that publishes.

Three levels of the same model: an empty Claude needs a full briefing, a junior Claude needs six lines, an expert Claude needs one sentence

Diagrams from Mamoun Alamouri's published explainer series. They are the same model this program teaches you to build against.

The build

9 assets, block by block.

9 assets in 3 hours. Every one is a file, a connection or a running system on your own account, and you keep all of it.

01Hour 1Brain

The first job, and the brief it obeys
- The first job to hand over, and why most people choose wrong
- The brief: your context, your standards, what good looks like
- Your Claude account set up the way an operator sets it up

02Hour 2Skills

The skill, and the keys
- The job written as a skill: instructions a machine follows the same way every time
- Tools and limits: what it may touch, what it may never do
- The approval gate: the output you check before anything leaves

The arithmetic

Why no is the expensive answer.

$297 is less than one month of the tools most people already pay for and do not use.
The employee runs on your account from the session itself, so the work starts before you leave.
The fee is credited in full toward any build signed within 90 days.

Bring the real thing. Real subscription, real pipeline, real backlog. Nobody builds a demo.

Ship-or-retake guarantee

If you attend all scheduled sessions, submit the milestone artifacts, and do not deploy a working system through the Demo Day quality gate, you receive free enrollment in the next cohort plus two hours of private technical remediation.

No open money-back guarantee. Full terms: Academy terms

Fee credit

Your $297 comes off any higher rung, or the Revenue OS build at $7,500, in full, if you sign within 90 days of the session.

The credit runs 90 days from the session and applies once, to one build, up to that build's price. It is separate from the audit credit, which runs 60 days. Academy terms

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need any coding experience?

No. Every step is scripted and every prompt is provided on screen. A person who has never typed anything into an AI tool can follow along and get the same result.

What if I cannot attend live?

The recording is included with every seat. The capstone is a build you run yourself, so it works from the recording, and the next cohort is open to you at no cost if you want the live room.

Is the fee credited if I hire SMOrchestra later?

Yes. 100 percent of the $297 is credited toward any SMOrchestra build signed within 90 days of the session. The credit terms are on the academy terms page.

Which language is the session in?

Both, as separate cohorts. The Arabic cohort runs in Arabic with the same curriculum and the same capstone. Pick your language at enrollment.

Do I get a certificate?

You get one AI employee running on your own Claude account, on a job you do every week. A certificate is issued only after it passes the quality gate, because the working employee is the proof and the certificate is not.

The other door

Rather have us build it?

Start with a one-day audit, Revenue & GTM or AI. $1,500 each, credited in full against any build.
