Detailed deliverables

Course production for coaches, consultants and creators who know their subject but cannot get the course made: a curriculum with outcomes per module, lesson scripts with slides in the expert’s voice, workbooks and quizzes, the platform build (Teachable, Kajabi, Thinkific, Skool, Circle, Podia, or a Notion/Gumroad combo), and a launch checklist. Per module or per course.

Example service prices

$150 per module (script, slides, workbook, quiz, built into the platform) or $600–$1,500 for a complete 4–8 module course. A $300 curriculum design on its own is a common first project; ongoing cohort support (updates, student Q&A digests) at $200 a month.

Final practice project: Module 1 of Lena’s Career Clarity course

A practice assignment from The Second Act with Lena Park (Weekly interview podcast (45–60 min) about career changes after 40, plus a YouTube channel). You will see the scoring guide (rubric) before you start.

What we check	What earns the full 4 points
Brief followed	Lena’s outcome, modules and transcript used; Thinkific build; all deliverables present
Design	Outcome specific and measurable; every lesson has a produced thing; lengths within targets; quick win in lesson 1
Extraction fidelity	Material in Lena’s words with stories; gaps as questions; no generic filler
Script and assets	Script for the ear in her voice with the action; slides one idea each; workbook pages usable; quiz applies the method
Build and launch	Platform lesson works end to end as a student; admin walkthrough; launch checklist complete and realistic

Honest expectations. The expertise is the client’s, not yours or the AI’s. Your job is extraction (interviews, recordings, their existing content) and shaping; the AI drafts from their words. A course written from generic AI knowledge is a refund waiting to happen. Also: you build, they record (or you help them record); you are the producer, not the teacher.
