HIGH-LVL AI Foundations
24 contact hours. Core literacy, ethics, safety, prompting, and judgment. Required for every learner before a pathway.
PARTNER PACKAGE · OPERATING ARCHITECTURE
Illustrative scopes for planning with workforce boards, schools, employers, and foundations. Unit economics hold at about $2,000 per learner seat. Packaging changes what is included — not the underlying product.
Partners buy a combination. They do not buy “an AI class.”
24 contact hours. Core literacy, ethics, safety, prompting, and judgment. Required for every learner before a pathway.
12 additional hours. One of: AI + Work, Entrepreneurship, Youth, Reentry, or Career Mobility. Same IP, different outcomes.
Competency assessment, HIGH-LVL AI Portfolio, and Level I–III issuance. Attendance alone does not confer a credential.
Train-the-trainer under the 19Keys Standard™. Partner staff become authorized to deliver. The second business.
Intake, attendance, learning, economic outcomes, and an impact packet the host can attach to a funder report.
Incumbent-worker and customized training for ordinary employees. Unrestricted revenue that can subsidize community cohorts.
Same intellectual property at every contract size. Hours and cohort size do not float with the invoice.
20–25 learners. Small enough to assess. Large enough to report. The unit behind every contract below.
8 sessions × 3 hours = 24 contact hours over 8 weeks. Plus asynchronous practice. Pre/post assessment in weeks 1 and 8.
Foundations 24h + pathway studio 12h = 36 contact hours over 10–12 weeks. The $50K cohort is a full track.
1:1 prep to contact. A 36-hour track is ~72 facilitator hours including assessment conferences and portfolio review.
Rubrics separate what the learner demonstrated from what they delegated to a model.
Foundations complete. Passing post-assessment. Safety and prompting demonstrations. Portfolio: resume + fact-verification + prompt library.
Level I plus a pathway studio. Two workplace or business workflows demonstrated live. Portfolio adds automation + presentation.
Level II plus a capstone (career roadmap or business concept) reviewed against a rubric that separates learner work from model output.
Level II or equivalent. 16-hour Standard institute. Observed delivery of one Foundations session. Annual recertification.
Hypothetical packages for partner and funder conversations. Final terms follow the host’s procurement rules.

INSIDE THE $50K COHORT
A workforce organization with a $2.5M award writes HIGH-LVL as a $50K–$180K line — not as the prime. The $50K unit is the smallest complete academy: one full track, assessed, credentialed, reported.
At $50K the founder or a senior facilitator is in the room. At $1M they are not — except for flagship and curriculum.
19Keys. Curriculum authority, flagship teaching, public standard. Not the person who staffs every cohort at $250K+.
0.5 FTE at annual-seat scale. 1.0 FTE at regional scale. Contracts, quality, partner success.
Certified under the Standard. ~$200 loaded per facilitator hour. A 36-hour track is ~72 hours / ~$14,400 delivery labor.
Contractor until the annual seat. Intake, pre/post, portfolio rubrics, impact packet. Becomes a role at $250K+.
Google Workspace, Airtable or equivalent roster, PDF credentials, shared partner workbook. No custom app until the machine is proven.
Attendance, assessments, and CSV exports a workforce board can drop into its own system. Credential verification log.
Learner, facilitator, partner, and HIGH-LVL dashboards — after 100–200 measured learners, not before.
Five $50K cohorts is a $250K year — 125 learners, three certified facilitators, one impact report. That is the Los Angeles laboratory. ETPL comes after.
Lock learning objectives, rubrics, credential rules, facilitator manual, and this partner package.
Recruit 3–5 institutional pilots. Close the first funded cohorts. Prefer $50K units inside existing awards.
Deliver 100–200 learners. Measure everything. 19Keys teaches; facilitators begin sitting in.
Publish the first HIGH-LVL Impact Report. That document is the sales asset for the next contract.
Launch facilitator certification. Stand up the partner workbook. Move some cohorts off the founder.
Second geography or a $250K annual seat. ETPL and prime-applicant conversations only after outcomes exist.
