How We Route Inquiries

Not every inquiry leads to consulting — and that is by design. The Lyceum routes people to the right level of support based on their readiness, not their willingness to pay. Below is the qualification framework.

Self-Study

Assessment score below 31. Foundation not yet stable.

The person needs structure before strategy. They are directed to the free curriculum, the Mind Collection, and the Cobra of Fear™ Collection. Community access is encouraged. Consulting is not appropriate at this stage — it would be taking money from someone who needs stabilization, not strategy.

Next: Begin the Mind Collection and Cobra of Fear™ Collection. Join community forums. Retake assessment in 90 days.

One Year Cohort

Assessment score 31–65. Stable foundation, building skills and income.

The person is ready for structured education with accountability. The cohort provides the curriculum, community, and implementation framework they need. Consulting may be appropriate after completing foundation months (typically months 1–6).

Next: Apply to the One Year Cohort. Complete foundation months. Reassess consulting eligibility after Month 6.

Private Consulting

Assessment score 66+. Bankable or Acquisition stage. Clear objectives.

The person has the financial, psychological, and operational foundation for intensive 1:1 work. They have specific objectives — a business to acquire, a funding package to prepare, a publishing strategy to execute. Consulting engagements are scoped, time-bound, and outcome-focused.

Next: Schedule an Escape Strategy Diagnostic. Define scope, timeline, and commitment. Begin engagement.

Not Now

Over 90 score. Stewardship stage. Focus is legacy and service.

This person does not need intensive consulting — they need stewardship planning, mentorship opportunities, and legacy architecture. They may be a candidate for becoming a mentor or instructor rather than a consulting client. We do not sell consulting to people who do not need it.

Next: Explore Legacy Planning, mentorship, and Circle leadership. Consider certification pathway.

Clear Disclosures

Consulting engagements provide education, strategy, accountability, and implementation guidance. They do not guarantee income, wealth, funding, credit scores, business outcomes, investment returns, or any specific financial result.

Education does not replace legal advice, tax advice, investment advice, licensed credit services, or mental-health care. Examples are educational, not promises. Results depend on effort, circumstances, and implementation.

No consulting client will be recommended to pursue investments or borrowing they do not understand or cannot responsibly manage.
