What is new in the Practicum
A reverse chronological record of material changes. Living pages also carry their own verification dates, which say more about how current a specific page is than the overall version does. Current Practicum version: v1.0.0 (2026-08).
2026-08 — v1.0: the Practicum ships with the book
The first reader release. What it contains:
- Workbooks for Volumes 1 to 3 — end-to-end routes. Volume 1 takes a specialist from an honest assessment of where they stand to a personal plan. Volume 2 takes a manager or owner from company maturity to a first agent and a first-round process. Volume 3 covers working with trust.
- A profession catalog — 13 roles, each with task baskets, a before-and-after view, red flags, a minimum stack, and a route into a personal audit and plan. Search by role, by task, or by company model.
- Worksheets and checklists for the chapters — an agent contract, a matrix for what to hand to the machine and what to keep human, a cognitive-debt checklist, a team apprenticeship audit, and a trust-footprint map.
- 30 living pages — the labor market, agentic browsers, regulation, skill banks, and a tool map. Each carries its own verification date and a sources section. This layer updates more often than print, and it is the reason the Practicum exists.
- The one-hour book — a short version of Volume 1, if you want the whole frame first.
- Prompts, skills, and harness examples — things you can copy and apply today.
- A digest and a Telegram channel — what keeps changing after the book is out.
From here, changes will be targeted: the living layer updates on its own schedule, the structure does not.
