Practice Builders OS — Concept Brief

Date: April 16, 2026 Status: Draft — needs Kathryn review Source decisions: business-aos/decisions/2026-03-26-campaign-architecture-decisions.md

What This Is

A monthly membership for professional services practice owners who want to build AI-powered practice infrastructure without hiring, without courses, and without figuring it out alone.

Not coaching. Building.

The Product

Name: Practice Builders OS

Price: $97/mo (founding members: $48.50/mo, locked as long as they stay)

Platform: Circle.so (custom domain: practicebuildersos.ai)

Who it's for: Practice owners — consultants, CPAs, wealth advisors, agencies — who do the work for their clients (DFY), run lean, and want to systematize without adding headcount. Also: the right-hand person whose traditional admin role is being eaten by AI and needs to move up the value chain.

Who it's NOT for: Coaches, beginners, people looking for a community to belong to, people who want someone to do it for them (that's Advisory OS).

What Members Get

The Toolkit

All 5 practice skills + Practice Brain foundation. These are the starting point — every member has them.

• Client Intelligence Brief
• Hidden Revenue Scan
• Scope-to-SOW
• Content-from-Delivery
• Referral Activator
• Practice Brain (6 foundation documents)

The Build (Monthly)

1 new system per month. 4-week rhythm:

The Build Library

Recordings of all past Builds. New members can catch up. The Build: Find, Prove, Close recordings go here once recorded.

The Site Survey + Build Order

Entry assessment that tells each member where their practice stands and what to build first. Personalized priority sequence — not everyone builds the same thing in the same order.

3 areas, 4+ builds each = 12+ months of unique builds before repeating:

Async Support Space

A private Circle space where members ask questions during Bench weeks, share how they're using skills, and get unblocked on builds. Not a community as a feature — a support channel for the work.

New Skills Monthly

Toolkit grows every month. New skills ship with the monthly Build. Members get them first.

The Language System

Everything uses building/construction metaphor:

The Founding Member Pitch (Post-$7 Page)

What it is

After someone buys the $7 toolkit, the thank-you page pitches Practice Builders OS at founding member pricing.

The pitch

"You just got the 5 skills. Now here's where they go.

Practice Builders OS is a monthly membership where we build 1 new practice system every month — together, live.

Every month: a new AI skill. A live workshop to build it. Async support while you implement. A review session to refine it.

Plus The Toolkit (growing every month), The Build recordings, and The Site Survey (tells you what to build first).

As a founding member, you shape what gets built. Your price locks at $48.50/mo (50% off) as long as you stay.

First 20 spots."
