6. Begin prediction practice within Week 2

Planning a book for a personal brand:

1. Load genius.md + references/implementation.md
2. Deploy Memoir Architect → positioning + outline
3. Deploy Client Interview Engine → multi-round story extraction
4. Deploy Book-to-Content Atomizer → plan content flywheel from book material

Integration Notes

• Pairs with: Ghostwriting Voice Engine (LinkedIn voice capture + production)
• Pairs with: Eric Roth content skills (erosion methodology + book-level writing)
• Pairs with: Fresh Voice System (Hidden Gems bank feeds serial content)
• Pairs with: Luke Iha copy skills (for sales copy that uses the client's voice)
• Does NOT replace: The Ghostwriting Voice Engine handles LinkedIn voice capture and production — Mabry handles book-level voice mastery and strategic authorship positioning

Workflows (Completion Engine v2.0)

WF01 — Voice DNA Capture

• File: workflows/01-voice-dna-capture.md
• Use when: Onboarding a new client, building voice profile from voice memos/podcasts/interviews
• Key addition: Phase 4 — Cognitive Architecture Mapping (argument construction pattern, humor deployment logic, vulnerability architecture). Captures HOW someone thinks, not just what they sound like.
• Evolution: Added 2026-04-09. Addresses the gap between surface voice capture (vocabulary, rhythm) and deep voice DNA (thinking patterns that hold across all content formats).
