Three numbers, recomputed and checked 99.99% faster — 4.38 ms/question (cards, M0) vs 35.71 s/question (Anthropic) 97.8% cheaper vs Anthropic — 300 questions × 100 asks: $99.30 (cards) vs $4,433.46 (Anthropic) 100% accurate, with the caveat — 300/300 on M0 and M2, 0 model calls — see the caveat Each figure was independently recomputed with a small script from the raw receipt numbers as part of building this page. All three reproduced exactly: faster = 1 - (4.38ms / 35,710ms) = 99.99% (an 8,153x speedup); cheaper = 1 - ($99.30 / $4,433.46) = 97.76%, rounds to 97.8%; accurate = 300/300 = 100% for cards vs 280/300 = 93.3% for Anthropic on the same 300 questions. The 97.8% figure is specifically versus Anthropic; against all six vendors’ combined spend it is higher still. ...
Card 3 of The Cue Deck Name the Empress. STOP the NOTHING. By STARTING something. Your Project. A Business from our free Cold Start Plans. A Meal to Share. Be a Bastion, in a Time of Storms: - NAME YOUR IDEA - What the cooperative is: members helping members, becoming each other’s customers and providers through pre-orders at volume-discount production levels. Manufacturing with The 2nd Second Industrial Revolution (3D printing, the Decentralized Factory). Services by members for members, at volumes where Cost+20% can make 3X normal take-home pay. Gaming, product development, software, anything you can dream. $5 a year gets all the collective might of Liana Banyan, so you can try as many times as it takes, for almost nothing. When we lock arms, INTERDEPENDENCE WINS the day. ...
Card 4 of The Cue Deck EMPLOY THE WORLD. Need a job? Me too. Let’s give each other one. And our neighbors. We need so much work done that no company could hire for it: software, management, nodes in every city, businesses that build Liana Banyan into what it can be. So the cooperative hires member businesses to do the work, at Cost+20%, and members earn Marks and Credits for what they build. Start a node. Start a business from a free Cold-Start plan. Or start tonight by making dinner: write down the recipe, put it in the Kitchen Table, and let ten neighbors pre-order Thursday. Make it a weekly pre-ordered subscription, so everyone can plan for it. That is the whole economy, in one neighborhood, on one Thursday. ...

Card 6a of The Cue Deck (Open Water) We Need What You’re Good At What ARE you good at? We don’t know yet. You don’t know yet either. Let’s start finding out. Whatever you are good at — we need it. Not credentials. Not prestige. Not scale-for-its-own-sake. Just lived competence at a specific thing one step beyond someone else who needs it. The first level of Patronship is someone who started to help someone who hasn’t. Billions of people qualify. That is the floor, and the floor is accessible to everyone who has ever done anything. ...
Card 6b of The Cue Deck (Open Water) You Have a Play, I Have a Stage You have a play. We have a stage. You haven’t rehearsed yet? That’s fine. Start rehearsing today. One line at a time. You have a play. We have a stage. Bring the thing you want to do. The cooperative provides the infrastructure to execute it — Patrons, Ripples, Vouchers, Cold Start systems, the commerce engine, the letters of recommendation, the published guides, the full platform. We, collectively, are providing the stage. Show us what you got. At all levels. ...
Card 6c of The Cue Deck (Open Water) Doing Something Is What It Takes to Start You haven’t started yet. That’s the only thing standing between you and Level 1. Do something. The next step reveals itself once you move. The hardest transition in the cooperative ladder is zero to one. Every other transition is about scaling — taking something that already works and making it work bigger. Zero to one is about starting — converting intent into action, idea into execution, “I could do this” into “I did this once.” The specific first action is often incidental. The principle is: do something, because doing something makes the next step visible, while doing nothing keeps the next step hidden. Get a DBA. Make a phone call. Take the first dollar. List the first service. The next step reveals itself once you move. ...
Card 7 of The Cue Deck BOUNTY POSTER YOU CAN DO BETTER. This is a crude and unpolished first attempt. Anyone can be the expert. Contracts only. Finished product. In time frame and to spec. and we gladly step aside for the experts to make it well. Take what we ship and make a better version: more capable, or polished. Variations of MnemosyneC that accomplish more are welcome. To fork the code and apply it better, reserve your place in line to be considered ($250): submissions are tested by paid testers, and the line decides who goes first. ...
