What happens next
| Step | What it is | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Review | We read your email and your link. We are looking for shipped work and a clear voice. | Within a week |
| 2. Screening call | Thirty minutes. Your background, a short scenario, your questions. Honest both ways. | If there is a fit |
| 3. Writing sample | One short rubric on a real submission. This is the bar, so we check it directly. | Around the call |
| 4. One reference | A single professional reference who can confirm your production work. | Quick |
| 5. Decision and access | If it is a yes, your handbook access is granted and onboarding begins about two weeks before the cohort. | Clear yes or no |
About access. The handbook, toolkit and operations pages on this site stay closed until step five. Approval is what opens them. That is the entire "members" boundary: no passwords to manage, access added the day you are approved and removed when you step back.
We reply to every application, yes or no. If it is not a fit now, we will say so plainly, and we keep strong applicants warm for the next cohort.
