Secure AI Builder Bootcamp — 30/60/90

Last updated Wed, Sep 2 2026. Anchored on Sat Aug 1 (Beta 1 Kickoff), not "today" — completed work stays visible. Cohort names stay as-is (Beta 1, Beta 2, Founding Cohort) — it's the paid track that increments: Founding Cohort (Oct 10) is Paid 1, then Paid 2, Paid 3 continue after it. Aug/Sep/Oct kickoffs land roughly a month apart — the monthly cadence goal is met. Slipped one week, 2026-09-02: Beta 2 Kickoff moved Sep 5 → Sep 12 and its full cadence with it; Founding Cohort moved with it, Oct 3 → Oct 10, to keep the enrollment runway rather than compress it.

ABT-52
In flight
In progress, urgent

Free intro-course / paid-path funnel split (ABT-53, parent) — content side is built (AI-1001 free course, GroupApp free-tier channel created). What's left is genuinely stuck on live GroupApp access: the free-tier channel link doesn't route correctly, and its course content isn't published yet.

ABT-53 ABT-78 ABT-79 Blocked-by-tooling
Due Sat Sep 12

Beta 2 Kickoff is 10 days out. Landing page, calendar, and Teams links are done and verified; the GroupApp course-link, calendar invites (no registrants yet), and one click-through QA pass are all blocked on Jared's live GroupApp access — none of it is agent-doable from here.

ABT-56Blocked-by-tooling
In review

✓Module 1–7 video walkthrough series recorded — evergreen, doesn't gate anything else.

ABT-41
Exit condition: Beta 1 fully wrapped with feedback captured; free/paid funnel split built and ready to flip on for Beta 2 Kickoff. Status: content-complete, blocked on Jared for the GroupApp-side steps above with the Sep 12 deadline close.

Publish SAPB Lab publicly and connect the enrollment CTA — funnel plumbing for paid signups.

Milestone
TBD, Nov

Paid 2 — cadence and dates not yet set, continuing the monthly rhythm and the paid-cohort count.

Open
TBD, Q4

Paid 3 — continues the increment. Target is 3 paid cohorts total in 2026 (Founding = Paid 1, then Paid 2, Paid 3).

Open
Dec, TBD

AI Holiday Hacking — Build & Ship Challenge. 2-day event, confirmed as its own workstream — deliberately not a numbered paid cohort. Format and exact dates still undecided.

Confirmed, undated
Why it's not "Paid 3": a 2-day hackathon doesn't map onto the 5-session Sat/Wed/Sat/Wed/Sat cadence — one Saturday of coverage isn't enough for a full cohort curriculum, so it gets its own spotlight instead.

Resolved — announced 2026-08-15, shipped by 2026-08-27

  • Paid product past Beta is now framed as an ongoing Secure AI Builder Community — the working name landed here, not "Secure AI Business Builder Community"; monthly kickoff, end-of-month Show & Tell, members submit ahead with a short video (live walkthrough allowed, submitted preferred).
  • Founding Cohort (Oct 10) is the first cycle of the Community — not a separate on-ramp, and Community doesn't replace Founding, it's Founding's ongoing shape going forward.
  • Pricing LOCKED and now live on the public page: membership-duration tiers, not per-pathway — 3mo $500 (floor) / 6mo $900 / 12mo $1,600 new, $1,400 renewal / VIP $2,000 (5 concurrent seats, monthly 30-min 1:1 with Jared). Founding launch members rate-lock at these prices for as long as they stay subscribed. Full detail in founding-cohort-community-offer-draft.md. The old $497/Oct-17 copy is gone (ABT-62/63/70).

Done today (2026-08-09)

  • 9 Linear issues corrected from the legacy SAPB Lab project to Secure AI Builder Bootcamp.
  • Confirmed cohort names stay as Beta 1 / Beta 2 / Founding Cohort — only the paid track increments (Founding = Paid 1, then Paid 2, Paid 3).
  • New free/paid funnel workstream scoped and ticketed: ABT-53 (funnel split), ABT-54 (pathway scoping), ABT-55 (dev environment setup time).

Open decisions

  • Needs Jared, blocking Sep 12: live GroupApp access to fix the free-tier channel routing (ABT-78), publish its course content (ABT-79), link Beta 2's course content into its GroupApp channel, and do one click-through QA pass on the registration flow (all under ABT-56) — none of this is agent-doable, see 30-day panel.
  • Needs Jared: create a Cloudflare Pages:Edit API token and store it at /abt/cloudflare/api-token in SSM — the new CI auto-deploy workflows for this intranet and the main site can't run until it exists (ABT-52).
  • Scholarship spots (2 free per cohort, per original thesis) — how these apply under the membership model, not decided.
  • VIP seat-cap enforcement mechanism (waitlist vs. Stripe-level cap vs. manual tracking) — not designed yet.
  • Q4 cadence for Paid 2 and Paid 3 — not scheduled.
  • Holiday Hacking Challenge exact format and dates — confirmed as happening, details open.
  • GroupApp replication of the cohort calendar for the Founding Cohort — ABT-80, low priority, Jared confirmed it can wait.
  • Whether the Cloudflare remote MCP server (evaluated in ABT-84) should replace `wrangler`/manual Zero Trust dashboard work going forward — memo's in for review, not yet decided.

Resolved (were open, now locked)

  • Founding Cohort price point / per-path vs. bundle pricing — locked 2026-08-15: membership-duration tiers, not per-pathway.
  • Content and pricing for the 3 pathways — locked 2026-08-15: content tracks included in every tier, not a separate price axis.
  • Community name — landed on "Secure AI Builder Community."
  • Durable hosting for internal docs like this one — live at intranet.alienbraintrust.ai with Zero Trust OTP login; only the CI-token step above remains (ABT-52).
  • Student AI dev environment setup time — investigated and fixed (ABT-55); orchestration on Dan's platform proven for Sep 26 Show & Tell (ABT-73).
