The AmplifierPractice
Practice: running the framework on real work
Reading the framework once changes nothing. Working through it on a real project, several times, in a slightly different shape each time, does. Three ways in.
In brief
There are three ways to practise the framework here. Run a project in the workbench, which walks you through the eight steps and keeps your notes. Follow a programme — the First Fortnight for your first full run, the Noticing Week before you change anything, or the path for your AMQ band. See it done in twenty real cases across everyday situations, in the worked cases from the book, and in the field pages for your discipline.
Run a project
The WorkbenchThe eight steps as a guided walk-through: an end-state page with no AI near it, the flow mapper, the Decision Filter as a filter, the brief builder, the iteration triage. Saves in your browser.
Paper versionsThe Quick Reference Card and worksheets, for the six projects the book says you should do on paper before the steps become internal.
Follow a programme
The First FortnightThe book asks you to apply the framework to one piece of real work within two weeks of finishing it. Fourteen days, laid out, with the expected failure written in.
The Noticing WeekVivek's homework: for seven days, every time you reach for a tool, ask whether you are outsourcing the polishing or the thinking. Change nothing. Just see.
Your path, by AMQ bandNine paths — Drifter to Mentor — each with the portrait, the named risks and the roadmap for that placement.

Real casesTwenty people in twenty situations — a Class 11 student, a production planner, a family of twelve, a developer, a salesperson, a nurse manager — each run through all eight steps.
Worked casesFive projects run through all eight steps: a fintech video, a pipeline migration, a banking proposal, a college festival, a family holiday.
In your fieldTech, creative, marketing, students, management: the framework in your world, with what Step 1 looks like there.
