Thinking out loud
On AI skills, the creator economy, and what happens when expert judgment becomes portable.
Your Expertise Is Being Consumed by AI. You're Not Getting Paid.
Every expert's published methodology is now part of the training data that makes base AI "know about" their framework. But "knowing about" isn't "being able to apply." The value chain doesn't compensate creators. There's an alternative.
What It Actually Looks Like to Build a Skill (And Where It Leads)
A transparent walk-through that follows a methodology from candidate to published skill — and then to the agent tier. Real pipeline data, real outputs, real economics. The article they read when they're ready to commit.
The Expert's New Revenue Model — From Hourly Billing to Methodology Licensing
A consultant bills $500/hour serving one client. The same methodology, packaged as a skill, serves thousands simultaneously. But the real revenue explosion comes at the Agent Tier: 10-50x the invocation volume.
The Claim Model — Your Methodology Already Has a Page
We've already researched your methodology. Users are expressing interest. You can claim your skill page and work with us to make it real — or let it remain as an inspired placeholder.
Why a 70% Revenue Share (And Why That Matters)
The platform handles extraction, testing, hosting, delivery, IP protection, billing, analytics, and evolution. The creator brings the methodology — which is the entire value. 70% to the creator because the methodology IS the product.
What Happens When AI Can "Do" Your Framework?
Base Claude can explain Shape Up. It can list the stages, define appetite, describe pitches. But when a real PM brings a real problem, base scores 26.6/40 while the skill scores 31.4/40. "AI can explain it" is not "AI can do it."
