What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on.

Twelve industries, twelve notices. Each lecture below is the pitch for replacing one industry with AI, written the way that pitch is actually sold, followed by the breaking changes it leaves out and what reversing the migration would take. Read the pitch first, on its own terms, before you read the audit.

Notice 01: Directory Assistance

The worked example. Directory assistance was automated decades ago, so this week teaches the four-part notice format on an industry whose outcome we already know, before you have to judge one that's still live.

Week 1 · 22 February 2027

Notice 02: Call-Centre Customer Support

Clerical work, and the first notice you have to judge without knowing the ending in advance

Week 2 · 1 March 2027

Notice 03: Long-Haul Trucking

Clerical work's mechanical cousin — a control-loop task with a known safety record

Week 3 · 8 March 2027

Notice 04: Diagnostic Radiology

The first expert/diagnostic notice — where the pitch is true and the audit still matters

Week 4 · 15 March 2027

Notice 05: Local Journalism

Informational/creative work — where automating the routine coverage changes what the institution is

Week 5 · 22 March 2027

Notice 06: Legal Discovery / Paralegal Review

Expert work's last clean notice before the break — and the apprenticeship the pitch never counts

Week 6 · 29 March 2027

Notice 07: Translation & Interpreting

The first post-break notice — an expert/creative bridge, and the first rollback plan that concedes it's slower than it sounds

Week 7 · 19 April 2027

Notice 08: K–12 Formative Grading & Tutoring

Care/relational work begins here — where the pitch's own efficiency numbers start working against it

Week 8 · 26 April 2027

Notice 09: Session Musicians & Commercial Composition

Creative labour's turn. The pitch still reads clean, but this week the breaking-changes section is longer than the pitch that provoked it --- the form starts to strain here, not by accident.

Week 9 · 3 May 2027

Notice 10: Aged-Care Companionship

The form under the most strain — where the pitch and the audit can no longer be read as opposites

Week 10 · 10 May 2027

Notice 11: Fruit & Vegetable Harvest Labour

Physical, seasonal work — and a pitch that generalizes further than the migration actually reaches

Week 11 · 17 May 2027

Notice 12: Deprecating the Deprecator

The capstone — the course turns its own method into the twelfth notice

Week 12 · 24 May 2027
