Packaging expertise
Turning a method you already follow into a Playbook: what belongs in it, what a Play is, and how the finished thing stays yours to keep editing.
Every expert who sells the same outcome twice has a method. It lives in a checklist, a saved prompt, a folder of past work, or nowhere but their head.
A Playbook is that method written down as a document the YAMO runtime follows. Posts under this topic are about the writing down: what a step is, how much detail a Play needs, and what to do with the judgement calls that are the reason somebody hired you in the first place.
Where to read the long form
The Playbook Library carries working examples, and the documentation covers the mechanics. This topic covers the thinking.
- The method is the assetAn expert who has delivered the same outcome enough times owns a method. Doing the work again by hand for every customer is what that method costs them.
- From Playbook to published ServicePublishing turns a Playbook into a Service that other people can pay to run. What the public contract says, and what a customer gets when they buy.
- What a Playbook actually isA Playbook is the method an expert captures, written down as a document the runtime follows. What goes in it, what a Play is, and what stays yours.
