90-day experiment for “The Curve We're On

Test “The Curve We're On” 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: Every transformative technology follows an S-curve. The only question that matters is where on it we are standing right now.

  2. 02

    Choose one observable signal from each theme: The Shape Beneath The Noise; Why The Middle Feels Like The Start; Where Language Models Actually Are; The Capability Curve And The Deployment Curve; The Insider's Mistake; Chaos Is Not Maturity; The First Uses Are Not The Final Uses; The Price Of Being Early; The Work Of Locating Yourself; The Beginning After The Beginning.

  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.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Leave with a decision artifact.

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