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.
