Help me teach or deliver it

Other people can deliver your method properly.

Licensed methodology, client portal, learning system, or expert-branded platform.

The method becomes something you can hand to someone else: a portal your clients work inside, a learning system, or a licensed version that another practitioner delivers under your name.

The product is no longer only the method — it's the method plus the guardrails that keep it being used correctly when you're nowhere near it.

What the person actually does

  • Deliver your method to their own people
  • Follow the sequence you set, not their own version of it
  • Produce work you'd be willing to put your name on

You're on the right rung when

  • Demand outruns your calendar
  • Other practitioners already teach a rough copy of your method
  • Consistency matters more than flexibility

What it takes to make

A real platform, support, and a decision about who's allowed to use it and how.

Worked example

Nothing of mine sits here, and I'd be suspicious of anyone who jumped straight to it.

Where it runs out

Nothing above this rung is a product problem — it's a business one: pricing, licensing, support, and quality control.

If your expertise is trapped in a worksheet, spreadsheet, PDF or meeting, send me the method. I'll look at what a simple digital product could make easier to use.
