Starcom Training Programs Repository

Status: ACTIVE (Founders Phase – Workshop + Sprint Cohort build-out) Owner: Jordan | Core Team: Nancy (GTM), Mei (Research/Automation), Durga (Media), Sneha (Curriculum QA)

Purpose

Operational hub for phased launch of AI + Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) workflow training: lead magnet → live workshop → 4-week sprint cohort → guild subscription → future 8-week flagship + certification.

Strategic Pillars

1. Phased validation & iterative credibility
2. Rapid AI-augmented content pipeline
3. Credibility & ethical guardrails (defensive framing)
4. Subscription guild for retention & compounding value
5. Advisory & evidence-driven authority stacking
6. Optional narrative / symbolic cognition layer (clearly labeled exploratory)

Current Focus (Next 30 Days)

• Finalize workshop deck + syllabus
• Produce lead magnet (threat & opportunity map)
• Sprint cohort Week 0–2 assets draft (outlines, labs, rubric)
• KPI instrumentation plan (baseline events & surveys)
• Advisory outreach brief & initial prospecting
