Four step workspaces
The method's teaching, prompts, and tools, in order, each with a worked example from a real project (Oluko, a Yorùbá learning app we built).

"We should do something with AI" is not a project.
The four-step method as a working system — from a vague ambition to a scoped, measurable project you could hand to any builder with confidence.
Duplicable Notion workspace + companion spreadsheet · No code required.
The problem
A scoped problem on paper is a snapshot. A scoped project is a running system. Scope will try to creep, metrics will drift out of memory, and decisions will get relitigated — unless there's a place where each of those is pinned down.
Scoping the problem gets you the snapshot. This kit is what comes next.
What's inside
A method you can run, not just read.
Scope / Not-Now Board
The discipline of deciding what you're not building, made visible.
Build-or-Buy Worksheet
A scored comparison for the decision every project hits.
Success-Metrics Tracker
Baseline, target, and current value for each measure, with live status.
Decision Log
What was decided, when, and why, so nothing gets relitigated from memory.
The full AI Readiness Scorecard ($19 diagnostic), included
The $19 diagnostic, bundled in — confirm AI fits before you scope.
How it works
Four steps, then keep it running.
1
Duplicate
Duplicate the template into your workspace.
2
Work in order
Work the steps in order — don't skip to Step 3. The solution is the easy part; getting the problem right is the work.
3
Confirm the fit
Haven't confirmed AI fits? Run the included Scorecard first — twenty minutes.
4
Keep it live
Keep it running: scope requests go on the board, metrics get updated at check-ins, decisions get logged the day they're made.
Who it's for
For scoping it yourself.
Who it's for
An operator ready to scope a real AI project themselves — especially one who's used our free template and wants the full system.
Not for
Someone still deciding whether their problem needs AI at all (start with the Decision Pack or the Scorecard).
All four steps — Identify → Investigate → Intervene → Document — operationalized as a live workspace rather than a one-time worksheet.
Format & delivery
Yours in two forms.
Duplicable Notion workspace + companion spreadsheet fallback for every tool inside. The spreadsheet is a standard .xlsx — works in Excel and Google Sheets.
No code required.
Licensed for single-user use.
