A short intro on why extraction comes before writing, then seven action-packed steps that turn vague expertise into the complete Context Bank the Writing course writes your manuscript from. Each step is one workbook lesson, built on the actual ChatGPT / Claude prompts you paste.
Most experts who sit down to write their authority book never finish. The reason isn't time. The reason is that the manuscript stalls on a missing spine: the named system, the contrarian positions, the belief the book installs, the stories, the outline, the raw spoken material. No amount of writing replaces work that has to happen before writing begins.
This course is that work, structured as a seven-step workbook.
After a short intro on why this work comes first, each of the seven step-lessons is one step of Entrepedia Studio's canonical IP Extraction Workbook. The lesson is short. The work is bounded. The load-bearing element is the actual prompt you paste into ChatGPT or Claude: the AI does the structured interview; you supply the substance; the output becomes the next step's input.
Seven steps. Seven artifacts:
The Expertise Audit. The engagement route (10 engagements → CORE method) OR the expertise route (top-10 questions, mistakes, decision framework, insider knowledge, transformation contrast) for question-based experts.
The Organizing Idea. A named framework with verb-first phases (or a sharp Concept / Reframe / Decision Guide).
Contrarian Positions. One position per piece of your framework, backed by repeated-experience evidence.
Story Extraction. Origin, transformations, cautionary tales, and aha-moments mapped to your framework.
The Belief Shift. Old belief → new belief → journey, with a reader profile sharp enough to fire it.
Transformation Statement + Chapter Outline. The back-cover sentence plus the 8–15 chapter manuscript plan.
Spoken Extraction. 2–4 hours of voiced transcript that becomes the Context Bank the Writing course generates chapters from.
The architecture comes from over 500 extraction sessions across coaches, consultants, fractional executives, agency owners, and expertise-based practitioners (medical, legal, financial, real estate). The workbook works because 7 out of 10 engagements share the same underlying architecture even when the surface looks different.
By the end of this course, the Context Bank is complete. The work has not yet been written, but the spine the manuscript hangs on is in place, and the Writing course picks it up from there.
You aren't creating anything new in this work. You're capturing what's already there. The prompts do the structured interview. Your job is to show up with specifics.
