Operator Prep

Friday field trip · Mt Baker Roofing, Bellingham

Walk in like you belong there.

You already know the tech. The goal Friday isn't to prove that — it's to be genuinely curious in Mark's own language, so he experiences you as an operator who happens to build AI, not a vendor. This tool gets you fluent in how operators think, and rehearses the day before you live it.

Do it as research. Earn the next conversation, not a client.

Friday, July 17
Engineer brain
Optimizes the system — correctness, elegance, edge cases.
Operator brain
Optimizes cash, people & time — all constrained at once, payroll due Friday.

The one thing to internalize: operators think in constraints and allocation — “what's the bottleneck right now, and where does the next dollar or hour go to relieve it?” — not in solutions. Every mental model in here is a variation on that question.

Tonight
20 min
Skim the Field Guide, then run The Walkthrough once. Don't worry about the score — the point is to feel the rhythm of the day and where you'd stumble.
Morning
10 min
Rip through the Flashcards and the Scenarios over coffee, then build your Question Deck shortlist and glance at the Cheat Sheet in the car.
In the room
Listen more than you talk. When you notice something: “Can I sanity-check what I'm seeing?” Then stop and let him talk.

Scenarios

Less about facts, more about whether you'd read the situation right. Pick the sharpest move; every option explains itself.

The Walkthrough

Friday, hour by hour. You choose what to say; you get coached on whether it lands as operator-curious or salesy. There are no fail states — just reps.

Question Deck

Star the ones you want to bring. They're built to draw out how Mark thinks — and to signal you speak operator. Aim for a handful, not an interrogation.
