Session Handoff — Amplif-AI Skool community audit + streamline plan (through the price flip)

Where it started

Sondra asked for a full re-audit of her live Amplif-AI Skool community (classroom/modules/lessons) to streamline it — it's cluttered, "too much," and new people don't know where to start. Goal: a clear entry path based on her 3 intake questions, a clean free-vs-STARS line, gating that drives engagement, and ads-readiness. She's using Fable to make decisions and wants everything restructured before a STARS price flip ($33→$47 / $197→$297) happening right after next week's Artifacts training.

Decisions locked + what shipped

• Scope = 11 live courses only (not the 29 the API returns; the rest are drafts from a closed community that merged in). VIP is legacy/off-limits. — established via live pulls.
• All 8 streamline decisions APPROVED by Sondra ("yes, I agree with everything") — laid out in c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\community-streamline-recommendations.html
• Structure: 11 cards → 8; fix Step-4 dead-end; consolidate duplicated tools (courses 4/5/6/7) into one A-Z vault; retire "Insiders"/"Visibility Activator" branding.
• Entry path = 3-4 lanes off her real intake data (53% new/overwhelmed → 7-Day Image Challenge; 25% content → 4-Day Video Challenge; 14% builders → Vibe-Coding 101; 9% advanced → skip to Blueprint). Router = a "Pick Your Path" lesson + welcome auto-DM (Skool can't auto-branch).
• Vault model (the binge-and-cancel fix): Sondra corrected that Skool can't tier access by billing interval. Solution = a separate "STARS Vault" course card with manually granted access. Annual = instant full Vault + both premium workshops; monthly = rolling last ~4-6 trainings only; catalog moves into Vault monthly (5-min sweep after What's New in AI). This resolved flag ⚑2 (workshops live in annual Vault + coupon for monthly + full price à la carte).
• Free = the "what" (demos/quick wins/orientation); STARS = the "how" (step-by-step/live). Do NOT level-gate the core path (kills the cold-ads funnel). Real gate = STARS.
• Price flip sequenced as an upgrade, not a hike: rebuild this week during the affiliate push → Artifacts training next week showcases STARS → then flip to $47/$297 (founders locked).
• Vault Showcase page (Jonathan Mast catalog model: see-at-a-glance + buy individually + member discount) scoped as its own build — PRD written, build AFTER the flip.
• Shipped files (all under c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\): member-segments-2026-07-07.md, evelyn-model-teardown-2026-07-07.md, 00-FABLE-BRIEF.md, 01-FABLE-RECOMMENDATIONS-2026-07-07.md, community-streamline-recommendations.html, rebuild-checklist.html, vault-showcase-page-PRD.md.

Key files for next session

• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\rebuild-checklist.html — the execution artifact; 6 phases in safe order, checkboxes persist in browser localStorage. Read first.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\community-streamline-recommendations.html — the 8 approved decisions + timeline.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\00-FABLE-BRIEF.md — single-doc context (live scope, member data, Evelyn model, the ask).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\member-segments-2026-07-07.md — 725 members, segment distribution, who-pays signal.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Amplif-AI Community Audit\vault-showcase-page-PRD.md — the showcase-page build (Fable prompt inside).
• Live/competitor structure exports: c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\outputs\skool-classroom-export\{amplif-ai-your-business,evelyn,claudeai,make-money}\_INDEX.md
• Prior baseline audit (2026-04-12, 19 modules): c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\OUTPUTS\skool-classroom-audit.md
• Plan file: none (no plans/ file drove this).
• Memory files touched: none.

Running state

• Background processes: none (all four skool_classroom_export.py background pulls completed this session).
• Dev servers / ports: none.
• Open worktrees / branches: none.

Verification — how to confirm things still work

• python -X utf8 -c "import csv; rows=list(csv.DictReader(open('scripts/data/skool_export_latest.csv',encoding='utf-8'))); print(len(rows),'members', len([r for r in rows if r['Tier'].strip() not in ('','standard')]),'paid')" — expect ~725 members / 37 paid (10 annual @ $197, 15 monthly @ $33, 12 comped/vip).
• python -X utf8 scripts/skool_classroom_export.py --community amplif-ai-your-business — re-pulls live classroom to outputs/skool-classroom-export/amplif-ai-your-business/ (Playwright; session token in scripts/data/skool_session.json, valid to 2027).
• Open rebuild-checklist.html in Edge — checkboxes should reload prior progress from localStorage.

Deferred + open questions

• Open ⚑1: affiliate lessons (Recommended Communities / Start-a-Skool / 40% program) — checklist defaults to "keep but tuck into a Perks & Partners lesson"; Sondra hasn't explicitly confirmed keep vs cut.
• Open ⚑4: à-la-carte prices for the two workshops (and whether the Vault is ever sellable one-time).
• Open: grandfather decision — recommendation is to give all 37 current paid members founding Vault access, new rules only for post-flip joiners; not explicitly confirmed.
• Open: Vault Showcase page platform — Base44 vs her own Cloudflare/Stripe stack (Skill Studio pattern).
• Deferred: About-page copy — Sondra pings at checklist Phase 4; draft in her voice from context/voice/sondra-real-skool-posts.md.
• Deferred: flip announcement post — Sondra pings at Phase 5; draft in her voice + add to Scheduled Posts calendar.
• Blocking-in-checklist: Phase 0 finding on the two paid workshops' access settings determines whether they merge into the Vault or stay as separate 🔓 cards (do NOT merge if access is per-member manual grants).
• Deferred: STEP 3 drip (~8-day unlock) — decide keep vs loosen now that the router paces people.

Pick up here

Sondra executes the rebuild checklist starting Phase 0 (15-min safety pass) inside Skool; the fresh agent's most likely first task is drafting the About-page copy (Phase 4) or the flip-announcement post (Phase 5) in her voice, or building the Vault Showcase page once she picks the platform.
