The book at every altitude, as pictures: what exists, what is proposed, what is drawn, and the review that decides which go into the next candidate. Drawn from data by code, checked against the text by the build, and nothing in the book until Dinis says so.

The forty-one chapters of release candidate 2 in ten columns, one per part, each a tile as tall as the chapter is long, coloured from red (readers lost interest) to green (readers held). Part 1 and the making-of are mostly amber; the frame, working with agents and judgement are greener; the two company chapters, 22 and 37, are short dashed placeholders, and 37, 39, 40 and 41 carry the marks where readers put the book down.

By altitude, part and chapter, each with what it shows, why, what is on it, its sources and the newsroom figures behind it. Accept, change, decline or later, and export.

 What exists

31 images in 2018, 156 in the newsroom

The 2018 book's pictures, looked at one by one, with what to do with each; the newsroom's figures in the articles the book draws on; the storyboard panels that already are infographics.

 How they are made

Data, code, a palette, a gate

The four altitudes, the methods, the drawing, the palette, what the build refuses, the states, and how to review.

Drawn, not reviewed

10 prototypes, chosen where the synthetic readers said the book is slowest or most useful, and where the 2018 book has a hole: the whole book on one page; the three figures the 2018 STEM chapter never generated; the chapter the rest of the book is navigated by; the four tests and sums a founder would pin on the wall; the two pictures that explain part 7 to a reader who does not code; and the making-of in one loop.

The book at the top altitude · release candidate 2Three columns, Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z. Gen X: brain, pen, paper, scientific calculator. Gen Y keeps the brain and pen and paper, strikes the scientific calculator, and adds spreadsheets, computer, mobile, internet, email and data center. Gen Z keeps brain and pen and paper, adds AI and ML and voice, and strikes the calculator, spreadsheets, computer and mobile, internet, email and data center.Mapping the tech stack per generation
The 2018 draft STEM Tech Stack, redrawnThree columns. The explorer is bursting with ideas, sees failure as just an experiment, makes a prototype for early adopters, and reads explorer coding and building fast with agents first. The villager loves the user, does not like failure that much, packages and releases, and reads shipping, selling and your own newsroom first. The town planner geeks out on the details, likes to be invisible, makes something a commodity, and reads controlling your agent, the record, serverless for real and reading code as a graph first.Explorer, villager, town planner
Chapter 4 · Where do you land?A decision tree. The question in the middle: if this is wrong, how cheap is it to undo, and what does it break before I do? To the left, the two-way door: an article, where a correction is a new version, or a narrow internal tool that can be switched off; there, use controls that do not get tired: a validator, a policy row enforced outside the model, a record read afterwards. To the right, the one-way door: an email in my name, or a tool that touches regulated data every day; there, put the person: sending in my name, typing a secret, spending money, deleting what has no backup.How cheap is it to undo?
Chapter 15 · Direction is the scarce skillFour boxes in a row: ship, give it away, take it away, ask: do they miss it? Two branches. If they shrug and go back to their day, you do not have a product yet. If they come back and ask for it, you have something, and two questions follow: is the price one they are happy to pay, and is that price profitable for you? A note above: before you ask whether a stranger misses it, ask whether you would.Ship it. Give it away. Take it away. Ask.
Chapter 18 · Ship it, and see if they miss itFour tiles. On a £20 payment the card fee is 2.5%. On £5 it is 5.5%. On 50p it is 41.5%. On 10p the fee is more than the payment. Below: payments of pence only work aggregated.Below about £5, the fixed fee is the price
Chapter 19 · Price it, then give it awayArithmetic in four tiles: £2 million from the investor, minus about £420,000 in tax, leaves about £1.58 million; minus £0.75 million lent back to the company leaves about £0.83 million kept. Illustrative only; not legal, tax or investment advice; UK figures for one tax year.Sell, don't issue: a worked example
Chapter 21 · Fund it, or do notTwo zones. On your machine: your files, and the keys, which stay with you. An arrow, encrypted before it leaves your machine, to the server, which holds ciphertext and nothing else: not your filenames, not your directory structure, not your commit messages. One object is 786 bytes of AES-256-GCM ciphertext named by the SHA-256 of the encrypted bytes, so the host can deduplicate it, cache it for a year and serve it from a CDN while remaining unable to tell you what it is. A note: there is no key escrow, no admin override and no support engineer who can recover it for you.Who can read what
Chapter 24 · Privacy by designA large box labelled reach, what the credential actually lets it touch, holds a smaller box, the mandate, what you authorised it to do. The rest of the reach is the gap, authority nobody ever accepted. Each capability in the gap points to its barrier, what actually stands in the way, which is one of four kinds: nothing, a rule written in the prompt, a setting the agent's own account can change, or a boundary enforced above the agent, out of its reach; only the last bounds anything.Reach, mandate, gap and barrier
Chapter 25 · Controlling your agentA loop of four steps around a centre that reads: small finished pieces beat one big review. One, I read an item. Two, I say what I think, in my own words. Three, I pick a verb from a short list: keep, fix, rewrite, merge, cut, article first, later, not doing it. Four, the editor records my comment word for word, turns the verb into a change in the working copy in the vault, and says where it went.One loop
