Start Here — The Six-Pack Starter Pack

Before anyone commits to a full certification, this is the one page we hand them. Six papers, read in this order, walk a reader through the whole argument: what it is → why it matters → the risk → the economics → the product → the sale. No prerequisite, no quiz — just the fastest path to being conversant.
