How to produce an online course without filming a second course by accident
Beth’s site still carries a date from an earlier burst of confidence. She must cut to eight modules and keep it, move the date for twelve, or ship eleven and make the unbuilt-jig lesson a later add-on.
Ship a first version with a teachable sequence, filmed modules that actually exist, and extras parked instead of secretly added
First-version cap and the public date
Keep the public date beside a module cap
Keep public copy from silently governing an unfinished outline
The version-one scope decision and each lesson's filmed-or-not state
Compare eight-now, twelve-after-a-date-change, and eleven-now-with-the-unbuilt-jig-lesson-later options
Count real footage against the outline
Days, setups, and missing jigs
Name a missing setup the site already promises
Student asks that are not version one
Park a good question so it cannot become module 13 by accident
The Course version one Board separates modules, filming setups, public promises, and useful extras that do not belong in the first release.
Open Choose version-one scope as a Room with filmed count, the missing jig, site copy, and the eight, twelve, or eleven-module paths.
Ava can compare visible scope and production facts. Beth owns instruction, filming, student promises, sales, site copy, and publication; Ava does not produce or publish the course.
A course is a finished first version, not every question a student might ask
What belongs together is specific: Ship a first version with a teachable sequence, filmed modules that actually exist, and extras parked instead of secretly added.
The consequential judgment remains human: Whether to cut to eight modules and keep the date, keep twelve and move the date, or keep the date with eleven modules and move the unbuilt-jig lesson to a later add-on.
You.one can keep the work, several kinds of evidence, and “Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later” decision visible through its Superboard view. The organized facts support Beth; they do not replace Beth's judgment: Beth chooses the scope, films the work, and owns site copy and student promises.
What changes after an outline doc, a camera card of clips, and weekend student requests
An outline doc, a camera card of clips, and weekend student requests can be enough while the situation stays simple: the course is already filmed.
It starts to break when a public date, a missing jig, and weekend extras all expand the outline.
The Course version one Board earns its place only when the familiar tool—an outline doc, a camera card of clips, and weekend student requests—can no longer keep the reason, Scope brief, conversation, current state, decision, and history connected.

A focused Course version one Board
The Course version one Board gives this mission one durable operating picture. Beth can use familiar language instead of translating the situation into project-management jargon. Its four Lists separate the kinds of attention this situation actually requires.
The point is a fast scan: what is moving, what is known, what is unresolved, and what Beth must choose. Questions not yet asked stay with Beth; they do not move to a list for outside replies.

| Mission | First-version cap and the public date |
| Modules | The version-one scope decision and each lesson's filmed-or-not state |
| Filming | Days, setups, and missing jigs |

Inside the “Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later” Room
Opening the Card gives the visible item durable depth. Stage can hold Scope brief: Place filmed count, missing jig, public date, and the eight-now / twelve-later / eleven-plus-jig-later options on one page. Chat keeps the request and response beside that artifact instead of in a detached thread. Pulse can show “Open decision: Beth will choose version-one scope.”
A Card Chat request can ask Ava to prepare the specific comparison or extraction in “Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later” from the visible evidence. Ava can work from the context Beth deliberately brings into this Card, List, or Board; she cannot monitor the rest of life, contact anyone, or inherit the decision.
Beth's call remains explicit: Beth chooses the scope, films the work, and owns site copy and student promises.

| Stage | Scope brief: Place filmed count, missing jig, public date, and the eight-now / twelve-later / eleven-plus-jig-later options on one page |

What Ava can prepare from visible context
These requests stay with the facts Beth has made visible around “Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later.” Beth supplies the evidence, checks Ava's work, and decides what belongs in the Room.
Current Ava can prepare help after an explicit request. She cannot make the choice, represent Beth, watch other work on her own, or contact anyone.
Beth owns teaching, filming, and what she promises students. Ava does not publish the course, film, or sell it.
A first version with a cap: the jig is a blocker or a cut, extras have a parking place, and the site date is a decision.
- Request idea: using only the context visible in this Card Room, compare cutting to eight and keeping the date, keeping twelve with a new date, and keeping the date with eleven modules while moving the unbuilt-jig lesson to a later add-on. Keep unrelated student extras parked; do not change the site or choose for me.
- Request idea: use only the Scope brief and notes the Owner has placed in this Card Room to separate facts, assumptions, and unanswered questions
- Request idea: from “Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later,” draft a short decision note and name Beth as the decider
A starter shape, not a prescribed workflow
Beth should rename every List or Card that feels artificial. This recipe succeeds when “Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later” becomes easier to decide and fewer open loops depend on memory—not when the Board looks tidy.

| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Count what is filmed | Outline is not footage |
| 2. Name missing setups | Jigs and rooms as blockers |
| 3. Park extras | Good questions can wait for version two |
| 4. Put public copy on the Board | Dates already promised |
| 5. Choose eight now, twelve later, or eleven plus the jig later | Open a Room before filming a second course by accident |
