The Design Lab is not a stage. It is an ongoing working space you can pull into any point in the path — mission language, tuition decisions, admissions questions, curriculum framing, hiring calls, parent conversations — or use on its own if you already have infrastructure and just need operator time.
Most founder programs are lectures. The Design Lab is not a course and not a stage — it is a place to bring the specific decision you are stuck on this week and leave with a resolved artifact. Every session is live with Dr. Harris. AI accelerates the drafting in-session. Your judgment authors the decision. Nothing gets called done until it meets Studio completion standards.
These are the categories every microschool has to resolve at some point. In the Design Lab, you pick the ones you need — in the order you need them — and we produce a deliverable that meets completion standard.
Choose the à la carte block for a single concentrated push, or the six-month subscription for steady operator time over a longer window.
A single five-hour working block with Dr. Harris. Booked across two or three sessions in a 30-day window. Bring one large decision or several smaller ones.
Best if you have a defined push and want it resolved in a month.
Three hours of live working time per month for six months — a total of eighteen hours across a half-year at $1,500. Steady operator presence during a launch or a growth push.
Best if you want a founder in your corner over the whole build or first-year window.
Not sure which one? Start with a $250 Discovery Session — we will place you honestly.
Enrollments are reviewed within five business days. Accepted founders receive a payment link and a kickoff booking. If it is not the right fit, we will tell you and recommend a better path — often a Discovery Session first.
Some founders belong in the Design Lab. Others need the Audit or the Full Buildout first. A $250 Discovery Session will place you honestly and credit toward the Audit if you upgrade within 30 days.
