All three operator guides, every course, the templates library, and the Tuesday Deep Dive. Kept current by an operator running real companies on this stack every day, not a thinker writing about it.
The full manuals, with every update as they evolve:
Daily-lesson format, built to be done while you run the company:
New courses land in your library the day they ship.
The working documents behind the system: CLAUDE.md starters, agent briefs, the company-brain scaffolding. Not examples written for a book; the actual files, maintained as the stack changes.
One operator briefing a week: what's working at a real $30M+ operation right now, what broke, and what replaced it. With the receipts.
The guides give you the architecture, and the architecture holds. But the stack underneath it moves monthly: models get replaced, harnesses get rewritten, the workflow that was state of the art in March gets retired by June.
Membership is the difference between owning a snapshot and reading the feed. The guides stay updated, the templates track what actually runs today, new material lands in your library the day it ships, and the Tuesday Deep Dive tells you what changed and why before you waste a week finding out yourself.
Two months free vs monthly.
Cancel anytime · anything you bought outright stays yours
The guides alone are $297 bought separately. Membership adds the courses, the templates, the weekly briefing, and every update.
Everything. The welcome email lands as soon as the charge clears; create your account with the same email and the members dashboard unlocks all three guides, the templates library, the Deep Dive archive, and the courses. The guides and templates are all there on day one; the courses run in their daily-lesson format from the moment you start them.
The guide you bought is yours forever, membership or not. What membership adds is everything around it: the other guides, the courses, the templates, the weekly briefing, and the updates. If you received a founding link by email, it exists precisely because you bought a book: a lower rate, locked for as long as you keep the membership.
Your membership runs to the end of the period you paid for, then library access stops. Any guide you bought outright, before joining or alongside it, stays yours. The cancel button is in the billing portal; there are no retention tricks in front of it.
The books are the architecture, and at $297 for all three they're the cheapest way to read it once. The membership is for running it: courses that walk the build day by day, templates that stay synced to the live stack, and a weekly read on what changed. If you only want the theory, buy a book. If you want the system running, this is the faster path.
The founding rate goes to people who already bought a guide. It arrives by email, it's capped, and it expires. If you have a founding link, the price on this page already reflects it. There's no coupon code to hunt for; the public prices are the real prices.
Cancel anytime and billing stops at the period end. And if you join and it's genuinely not what you expected, email andrew@desktheory.com and I'll make it right. I'd rather part on good terms than keep an unhappy member's money.
The membership is new. The library isn't: it's the working system behind three real companies, documented as it runs. Join now and it grows around you.
