Test “Compounding” through a small, reversible 90-day experiment. The objective is evidence and reusable learning, not proving the book right.

WORKBOOK SEQUENCE

  1. 01

    State the practical hypothesis suggested by: The people who win the AI era will not be the smartest. They will be the ones who started compounding earliest.

  2. 02

    Choose one observable signal from each theme: The Boring Curve; Three Things Compound; The Year You Cannot Buy Back; Consistency Beats Intensity; Practice At The Edge; Assets That Wake Up Later; Distribution Is Memory At Scale; The False Comfort Of Waiting; Designing For Compounding; The Portfolio Of A Person; What Compounding Feels Like; The Calm Advantage; The Best Possible News.

  3. 03

    Set a baseline, weekly action, success threshold, cost ceiling and explicit stop condition.

  4. 04

    Review at days 30, 60 and 90; preserve useful examples, distribution or evaluation assets even if the hypothesis fails.

Leave with a decision artifact.

A 90-day experiment brief with baseline, weekly cadence, thresholds, checkpoints and a final keep/change/stop decision.
