Cohort Length and Cadence
Cohort length: 4-12 weeks typical. Shorter = higher completion + lower price; longer = deeper transformation + higher price.
Length tradeoffs
| Length | Completion | Depth | Price |
|---|
| 1-2 weeks | 80%+ | Surface | $99-299 |
| 4 weeks | 65-75% | Practical | $297-497 |
| 6-8 weeks | 50-65% | Deep | $497-997 |
| 10-12 weeks | 40-55% | Transformative | $997-2,497 |
| 6 months+ | 30-45% | Mastery | $2,500+ |
Cadence within cohort
Weekly structure typical:
- Monday: live class
- Tuesday: cohort discussion
- Wednesday: self-paced work
- Thursday: peer review
- Friday: instructor office hours
- Weekend: catch-up
Format matching
- 1-week intensive: bootcamp format, all-day immersion
- 4-week part-time: 10-15 hrs/week
- 6-week balanced: 8-12 hrs/week
- 8-week sustained: 6-10 hrs/week
- 12-week transformative: 5-8 hrs/week, big project
