Founding leadership
BECOME A FOUNDING CAPTAIN
Captains hold the weekly Inspection for a Crew of Builders. We are looking for 10 Captains for the inaugural cohort. A Captain role is earned through review and training — it is never sold, traded, or granted for payment.
Standards
What a Captain is held to
These are the non-negotiables. If any of them do not fit you right now, apply as a Builder first.
- Consistency — you show up on the same day at the same time, every week.
- Empathy — you listen before you correct.
- Confidentiality — nothing from a Crew leaves the Crew.
- Nonjudgmental accountability — you hold the standard without shaming anyone.
- You can run a focused 30–45 minute weekly Inspection.
- You escalate safety issues to staff instead of acting as a therapist or counselor.
- You do not sell anything to your Crew without written permission and policy review.
- You never accept payment for a rank, a placement, or a favorable Inspection.

Playbook
How to run the week
The Inspection is a focused 30–45 minutes. This is the format Captains hold.
Before the Inspection
- Review each Builder's Bricks and Blueprint milestones for the week.
- Note who missed a commitment so recovery is planned, not improvised.
- Confirm time, link or location, and who is expected.
Running the 30–45 minute Inspection
- 5 min — open with the standard: one brick every day.
- 15 min — round the Crew: what was promised, what was kept, what was missed.
- 10 min — recovery plan for missed commitments. No shaming, no excuses.
- 10 min — next week's Bricks stated out loud and recorded.
- 5 min — service and help: who needs something, who can offer something.
After the Inspection
- Record the Inspection in the app with honest notes.
- Escalate any safety, harassment, or crisis concern to staff the same day.
- Follow up once mid-week with anyone who went quiet.
Hard lines
- No diagnosing, no therapy, no legal, medical, or financial advice.
- No selling, recruiting, or lending inside your Crew.
- No sharing a Builder's private story or proof anywhere, ever, without written consent.
