Capstone: Run the Full Mock Loop1 / 2

1 min lesson

Lock your kit

Walk through each part of "Lock your kit", then explain what each one does.

Step 1 of 2

Lock your kitStop tinkering

Story bank
One first-person story per value, each result-first and under 90 seconds, with the failure story rehearsed for follow-ups.
Theses
Your sequenced roadmap and your individual-vs-enterprise position, both defensible under pushback without losing the thread.
Prototype stack
The tools you'll build the small project in, fast enough that setup never eats your clock. Decide it now, not on the day.

Locking the kit a week out frees the final days for reps instead of fiddling.

The go/no-go bar

Don't book the loop until three things clear on the recordings: build (a demoable prototype from a vague gap, AI-driven and overridden with judgment), product sense (a sequenced roadmap defended under pushback) and authenticity (your Cursor usage and why-Cursor sound true, not prepped). If any of the three is faking a yes, that's exactly where this week's reps go.

Final checklist

Final checklistBefore you book

  1. 1Demo-ready. You can spec, prototype and demo a real Cursor gap end to end inside 90 minutes and name the metric you'd watch.
  2. 2Opinion-ready. Your sequenced roadmap and individual-vs-enterprise thesis survive pushback, anchored to latency, trust, cost and daily usage.
  3. 3Story-ready. One first-person story per value, a real failure and a why-Cursor only you could give.
  4. 4Logistics set. In-person SF or NY confirmed, calendar blocked for a multi-day onsite and an honest yes on the flat, fast, no-process pace.
