The premise
Most AI tools produce average output. The model is not broken. Your brief is. This book is the architecture for writing the briefs that turn Claude from competent into recognisably yours.
Who this is for
- Founders who use Claude or ChatGPT every day and keep getting fine-but-forgettable output.
- Marketers and agency owners whose AI work drifts toward generic the moment they scale it.
- Operators who have tried prompts, tried custom GPTs, tried courses, and want a system that actually compounds.
