THE OPERATING BRAIN BUILDER  —  the mind of the business
From "The One-Person AI Business — Intermediate", Chapter 2
================================================================

Basics gave you a half-page STARTER brain — enough to make AI sound like you.
This turns it into the real thing: the store of your brand, offers, and — the
load-bearing new part — the DECISION RULES that let AI act as YOUR company, not
a generic assistant. An assistant that sounds like you is nice. One that
DECIDES like you is what you're actually trying to delegate.

⚠️ Never put a secret in it. No passwords, no customer data, no payment details.
The operating brain holds how your business THINKS, never the keys to it.


PART 1 · THE BUSINESS, PRECISELY
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Who you serve, the exact problem, the transformation — in the words THEY use.
  The adjacent things you deliberately DON'T do:
  ______________________________________________________________
  ______________________________________________________________

PART 2 · THE OFFERS  (AI will quote these — get them exactly right)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Offer          What it's for        Price     Includes / does NOT include
  -----------    ------------------    ------    ---------------------------
  ____________   __________________    £_____    ___________________________
  ____________   __________________    £_____    ___________________________

PART 3 · THE VOICE, WITH EXAMPLES  (AI matches examples, not adjectives)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  A paragraph you'd be PROUD of (paste a real one):
  ______________________________________________________________
  A paragraph in the WRONG voice, labelled "NEVER THIS":
  ______________________________________________________________

PART 4 · THE DECISION RULES  (the actual product of this chapter)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  The things you decide without thinking, written as if-then rules AI can apply.
  The test of a good rule: it removes a judgement call from your day. "Be
  helpful" removes nothing. Write at least TEN, drawn from your chapter-1 log —
  for the function you're about to hand off, every judgement call, as a rule.

  [ ] IF __________________________ THEN __________________________
  [ ] IF __________________________ THEN __________________________
  [ ] IF __________________________ THEN __________________________
  [ ] IF __________________________ THEN __________________________
  [ ] IF __________________________ THEN __________________________
  (keep going to ten — every rule is a decision you no longer have to be present for)

PART 5 · THE HARD LINES  (guardrails that ride in every prompt)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  [ ] No fake urgency.   [ ] No claiming an endorsement we don't have.
  [ ] Never state a fee or policy as fact without the dated source.
  [ ] The money rule: AI may CHECK and PREPARE a rule-qualifying refund; a HUMAN
      approves AND releases every actual movement of money.
  [ ] ____________________________________________________________


ASK YOUR WRITING ENGINE  (the test — and the loop that IS the skill)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Give it the whole brain and one real piece of the function's work. Read what
  comes back. Every place it went wrong is a MISSING RULE — add it, run again.
  When it gets a piece right BECAUSE a rule told it how, the brain is working.

  ⚠️ You won't get every rule right, and you don't need to. The brain is a
  LIVING document: every call you disagree with, all book long, the fix is not
  to scold the AI — it's to add or sharpen the rule that would have prevented
  it. That habit, more than any single rule, is what you're building.


THE FORCING COMMITMENT  (dated)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  "Operating brain built, ___ decision rules for the ______ function. It
   produced acceptable work on ______ (date)."
