Knowledge Progression
A100 · Guild — learning order, not file order
The order to actually move through the material, derived from the real course and module tree in the source classrooms — not from a folder listing.
Where this order comes from
Stage 1–3 and Stage 7–8 are read straight off the source: the Guild's own course names
("Foundations: Start Here", "Ahead in 100 Curriculum", "Quarterly Routine", "Frequently Asked
Questions", the replay archives) and the module breadcrumbs inside them ("Module 0: Orientation
Week", "Module 1 …"). The elective grouping in Stage 6 is our reading of courses that carry no
prerequisite of each other —
flag it if you disagree and it changes here, not in prose.
1
Stage 1 — Orientation
1 course(s)
Start here. What Guild is, how to move through it, and the first survey.
2
Stage 2 — The 100-day core
2 course(s)
The spine of the whole programme. Orientation Week, then account setup, category structure, targets, the daily routine, and the reporting habits, in the order the course itself sets.

3
Stage 3 — The recurring rhythm
1 course(s)
What you do every quarter once the budget exists. This is the maintenance loop.
4
Stage 4 — The why underneath
2 course(s)
Values work. Sits after the mechanics on purpose: it is what makes the categories mean something.
5
Stage 5 — Reading your own numbers
1 course(s)
Year-end review plus the advanced reporting layer. Needs a year of real data first.
6
Stage 6 — Electives (take in any order)
6 course(s)
Topic modules. None is a prerequisite for another; take the one your life is asking about.
7
Stage 7 — Reference, not a course
1 course(s)
Look-ups. Read on demand, never front to back.
8
Stage 8 — The living archive
4 course(s)
Ongoing coaching calls. Not a sequence — search these when a specific question bites.
