✓Chinese-speaking NYC residents who want bilingual, in-room, with real artifacts
✓Anyone who finished Anthropic Academy / OpenAI Academy and wants the next step

5-voice council critique

A Brier-audited council writes 4 angles (founder/engineer/product/career) on the back of your card. Not one instructor's gut.
