Turn scattered inputs into an evidence-linked brief with a clear human call.
PB Public Build Day / Jacksonville founding cohort · Saturday, October 3, 2026
Bring the work.
Build a better way.
Don't just learn AI. Rebuild Your Work Around It.
Bring one recurring part of a job, side venture, personal operating system, or team. Use the Premise to Practice Method to question the old path, build a working version, and prove it with real evidence.

THE INHERITED PATH
- 01 Gather
- 02 Format
- 03 Draft
- 04 Handoff
- 05 Rework
IN PRACTICE
Frame→Build→ProveYou still make the call.
A faster artifact is not a changed practice.
Most people point new tools at old work.
You can make the current report, deck, or handoff a little faster. The more consequential move starts one step earlier: naming what the work is for and deciding whether the inherited path still deserves to exist.
Question it.
Build it.
Prove it.
You learn the method by using it on work you already own. The awkward questions show up while there is still time to answer them.
- 01ASSUMPTION
Find the old premise
Name the outcome, the inherited path, and the belief that made the current work seem inevitable.
- 02REVISION
Rewrite the work
Design a better path around what people and AI can do now. Keep the judgment. Remove inherited friction.
- 03WORKING VERSION
Build it close to reality
Make the smallest useful version that can survive real inputs, real boundaries, and the person who has to use it.
- 04EVIDENCE
Prove it in practice
Test normal work, edge cases, and failure. Keep what helps. Change what does not.
What could you rebuild?
The best project is not the flashiest one. It is the recurring workflow you will use again next week.
Clarify requests, surface what is missing, and reduce the back-and-forth before work begins.
Assemble recurring inputs, draft the narrative, and flag the exceptions that deserve attention.
Turn comments into evidence-linked themes, decisions, and an action queue.
Track a defined signal and surface only the change that matters.
One Build Day.
Enough structure to make it stick.
The work is scoped before the room, tested during the day, and used afterward.

GOOD FIT / YES
You own recurring work that deserves a better path.
- You can bring safe examples and test the result afterward.
- The work may come from a day job, side venture, personal system, or team.
- You want judgment and a working system, not an AI overview.
- You can attend the virtual clinics and the in-person Build Day.
NOT THIS TIME / NO
You need production software, regulated data, or a tool tour.
- This is not a production implementation engagement.
- Do not bring confidential, regulated, or unsafe data.
- You need one real workflow you can use after the event.
PRIVATE BUILD DAYS / TEAMS
Need a Build Day for your company?
The Jacksonville event is open to individuals. Private Build Days bring the same method inside one company and apply it to the workflows your team already owns.
Explore team Build Days ↗Access is cheap.
Judgment is scarce.
Rusty Walters is the founder of Now You're Technical and leads Data, Innovation & Intelligence at a global industrial technology company.
He works at the intersection of AI, work design, data, and adoption. Build Days grew from a method he uses to help people start with the outcome, question inherited work, and test a different path before treating a tool as the answer.
