ALL TEN DAYS · DRAFTING · VOLUME · CONTINUITY
Ten consecutive days. Ten instruments. One practice that holds together.
Everything from the written instruction to the round trip: the standard on the page, the pipeline over the corpus, the standing function that holds its state, and the matter that leaves the building and comes back accounted for, unit by unit, with a signature at every point where something could leave.
Upcoming cohorts
Live online. Eastern time. 11:00–5:30 daily, ten consecutive days. 65 scheduled hours, 50 guided. Paid in full. Nothing is recorded. This is not legal advice and it is not continuing legal education; no credit is offered or implied.
October 12–21
November 9–18
Days 1 and 2 are the Intro. Days 3 to 7 are the Intensive. Days 8, 9 and 10 complete the MasterClass and are never sold separately, never priced and never listed as purchasable. There is no separate product for that phase because it is not a separate thing. If you already hold the Intro or the Intensive, you attend only the days you have not had and you pay the difference: you never pay twice for the same day.
DAY BY DAY
It contains all ten days, whole — and it is the only way to reach three of them.
Ten instruments, built by you, on fixtures — plus three that are about your own firm and are built privately, by you, on your own machine.
Days 1–2
DRAFTING — the 2-Day Intro
Also available on its own

Sent, returned and restored, counted and made to balance

DAY 06 · SHAPE THE REVIEW
Fast review is only honest when nothing was dropped without being named.
THE SENIOR LEVEL · BY QUALIFICATION
It teaches you nothing new. That is what it is for.
MasterMind is a standing review. There is no curriculum, no next ten days and no material you have not already been taught. It is not a peer group, and there is no room. No roster, no count, no composition, no forum, no group call, no introduction and no referral.
Ten days. Clear them or do not.
The schedule is published in advance and it does not move.
