Field notes
The proposed sequence runs from identifying jobs where AI changes tasks through program design, persona-based testing of lessons and schedules, revision, and a public run report. The page says reports will include failures, but also states that no programs are live, no test runs have occurred, and no results exist. It identifies Jonathan Edwards as founder and describes the organization as a nonprofit in formation.
