Academy
What makes Academy different from other AI courses?+
Three things. First, you buy access and earn advancement — every level is locked until you submit real work that a human reviews. Second, Cai does not reward vague prompting. Third, you graduate with a System Dossier — a portfolio of five real artifacts including a Business Case with actual ROI math.
Do I need coding skills?+
No. Academy is designed for operators, executives, and consultants. Every workflow runs in ChatGPT, Claude, or Notion. No code required at any level.
What happens if I don’t pass a level?+
You get specific feedback from a human reviewer and resubmit. No penalty, no time limit. You advance when your work holds up against the 7 Gates — not before.
How long does each level take?+
Most people complete each level in 1–2 weeks working full-time. Level 2 requires a 3-day time audit. No expiry — lifetime access.
Is there a refund policy?+
Yes. 14-day full refund if you haven’t completed Level 2. We want you committed before you go deep.
Who reviews my work?+
A human Predicai architect — not an automated system. Response time is under 24 hours on business days.
Shield
How is Shield different from Norton or McAfee?+
Norton and McAfee protect your devices. Shield protects your family. It addresses the attack vector no antivirus can touch: the moment of panic when you hear a cloned voice saying someone you love is in trouble.
What is the safe word and how does it work?+
A unique phrase your family agrees on privately — never shared online. When a call creates urgency, you ask for it. A private family safe word works because it relies on shared context that was never publicly exposed.
How many family members does one subscription cover?+
Unlimited members — grandparents, parents, teenagers, everyone. One subscription, no per-person pricing.
Is there a free way to try Shield?+
Yes. The free Shield Check takes 90 seconds. No account required. Open it immediately if you have a suspicious call right now.
Signal
How is Signal different from other AI newsletters?+
Most AI content tells you what launched. Signal tells you what shifted underneath — what changed in how work gets done, and one concrete move this week.
How often is Signal published?+
Sent sparingly — when there is something genuinely worth your time. Never daily. Eight issues published as of March 2026.
Is Signal really free?+
Yes, always. No paid tier. No premium archive. No upsell in the emails.
Pricing
Can I get Academy and Shield together?+
Yes. The Academy + Shield bundle is $229 — saving $19 versus buying separately.
Why is Academy a one-time fee?+
Because your capability should be permanent. We teach thinking frameworks — R.I.S.E., the 7 Gates, the Agentic Blueprint — that survive tool changes. Your access doesn’t expire because your capability doesn’t.
How fast do I get access after enrolling?+
Immediately. Your Academy access is available the moment your payment processes. You can start Level 1 the same day. The first human review happens when you submit Level 1 — typically within 24 hours on business days.
Can I cancel Shield anytime?+
Yes. Monthly Shield cancels at the end of your current billing period. Annual Shield comes with a 30-day refund guarantee. No penalty, no questions asked.
