Inner Circle Weekly Briefing #6: 12/11/25
We Spent 80+ Hours Learning About And Building With AI Last Week. Here's What Matters.
We Spent 80+ Hours Learning About And Building With AI Last Week. Here’s What Matters.
The four of us are dedicating a combined 80+ hours per week testing AI tools, building workflows, and extracting patterns from real-world implementations with clients and companies.
Headlines are chasing DeepSeek and Amazon Nova. Something more fundamental is happening. Sixty-two percent of organizations are now experimenting with AI agents, not just models. The shift from “AI as a productivity tool” to “AI as an autonomous workforce” is accelerating faster than most realize. Meta signed deals to feed real-time news into Meta AI. Agentic AI topped Gartner’s 2025 trends.
But here’s what matters for you this week.
The gap has moved. It now separates those who can see their invisible expertise clearly enough to extract it. Those who catch operational dysfunction before it scales. Those who turn one AI conversation into six specialists working together. The frontier is moving from “how do I use AI” to “how do I systematize what makes me irreplaceable.”
Let’s go.
Preview Of What We Shared This Week
1️⃣ Max Bernstein on the 4-part framework that forces prospects to see the expertise gap they’re missing (complete prompt framework)
2️⃣ Tam Nguyen on catching ownership gaps that stall projects before anyone executes (two model-optimized prompts)
3️⃣ Zain Haseeb on turning one ChatGPT session into a coaching council and critical thinking engine (two complete mode packs)

1️⃣ Max Bernstein: The Uncle Test That Shows You Exactly Where Your Expertise Becomes Invisible
How To Stop Hearing “You All Seem Pretty Similar” From Prospects
What You Get:
The 4-part Uncle Test framework: A gap analysis between how non-experts see your work and the invisible expertise you’ve never articulated.
Part 1 - The Uncle Version: How a confident amateur would butcher your positioning after 2 minutes on LinkedIn
Part 2 - What Uncle Missed: The unconscious competence that took thousands of hours to develop
Part 3 - The Aunt Test: Language clear enough for someone outside your field to repeat tomorrow
Part 4 - The Megaphone Draft: The spectrum from underselling to overselling to right-sized confidence
The Invisibility Gap: Your brain compressed years of pattern recognition into automatic responses. You can’t charge for what you can’t see. Most experts genuinely believe they “don’t do anything special” even while solving problems their clients can’t. Familiarity creates blindness. This framework forces visibility. Run your LinkedIn profile through it, and you’ll likely spot expertise you’ve been giving away for free.
2️⃣ Tam Nguyen: The Diagnostic Lens That Catches Million-Dollar Ownership Gaps In Two Minutes
Stop Leaving Meetings Thinking Tasks Are Assigned When Nobody Actually Owns Them
What You Get:
Ownership Drift Extraction prompt: Scans meeting transcripts for fragile ownership moments
Six detection patterns: Vague assignments, ownership dilution, silent drift, conditional ownership, assumed handoffs, shared ownership without roles
Structured analysis: Top 5 ownership gaps with exact quotes, perceived vs. actual ownership, risk ratings, and clarifying questions
Two model versions: Optimized prompts for GPT-5.1 and Claude Sonnet 4.5
The Bottleneck: Three weeks into a client engagement, you thought “done” meant deliverables wrapped. The client thought “done” meant fully implemented and their team trained. Now you’re doing unpaid work to close a preventable gap.
What This Unlocks: Most teams leave meetings with tasks that feel assigned, only to discover weeks later that no one owned them. This prompt catches that before work stalls. You get the exact moments where ownership was unclear, shifted, or diluted, plus the specific questions to lock down accountability.
3️⃣ Zain Haseeb: The Mode Pack System That Turns One ChatGPT Session Into Six Specialists
Process Challenges And Stress-Test Decisions Without Switching Chats
What You Get:
The Growth Bundle: Two complete mode packs that work together
Coaching Session Pack: Four modes for processing challenges (/explore, /reframe, /action, /accountability)
Devil’s Advocate Pack: Four modes for stress-testing decisions (/challenge, /risks, /blind-spots, /strengthen)
Slash command workflow: Switch between modes in one chat while preserving full context
Complete system prompts: Copy-paste setup for both packs
How It Works: GPT-5.1 follows instructions now. Define explicit modes in one system prompt, switch between them with slash commands. Same chat, full context preserved, each mode doing one specialized job.
The Workflow: Coach yourself through a challenge with /explore, /reframe, /action, and /accountability. Then stress-test with /challenge, /risks, /blind-spots, and /strengthen. All in one session.
