The Forge

How we turn a mentor's thinking into an agent. Multi-week process. Not a prompt wrapper.

Why this can't be rushed

20 hours of conversation and refinement. Every mentor approves their own agent. Their reputation is on the line.

Five phases. No shortcuts.

01

Selection

1 week

Track record over credentials. If they haven't done it, they're not here.

02

Contribution

2-4 weeks

How they decide when stakes are real. Not podcast talk. We push on edge cases and probe every 'it depends' until we find the logic underneath.

03

Assembly

1-2 weeks

Decision patterns, heuristics, blind spots. All wired together. Not a bio turned into a prompt.

04

Calibration

1 week

The mentor tests their agent with real scenarios. We adjust until it passes their standard. They decide when it's ready.

05

Live

Ongoing

The agent goes live and compounds. Every conversation makes it sharper. Courses are static. Agents grow.

The result

An agent that thinks through your specific situation.

Built something real? Let's talk.
