Build the machine that builds the business.
The Teardown Theory Playbook is a written course on creating an autonomous AI content business with VS Code and Claude Code — taught from a real machine that researches, writes, renders, and publishes a real YouTube channel every single day.
Why this course is different
Most "make money with AI" content is written by people who have never shipped a working system. This one is the documentation of a machine you can watch operating: every video on our channel was researched, scripted, illustrated, voiced, and published by the exact system this course teaches you to build.
The honest part, up front: this channel is young and not yet monetized, and we won't pretend otherwise. You are not buying a get-rich promise. You are buying the complete, working blueprint of the machine — the architecture, the pipelines, the cost controls, the failures and what fixed them — from people building it in public, with the receipts published as we go.
The curriculum
Nine modules. Written, practical, and updated as the machine evolves — buyers get every update.
1What this is
An autonomous content business: real economics, what the machine looked like on day one versus day thirty.
2The workbench
VS Code + Claude Code setup, git as the spine, keeping secrets separated from code from day one.
3Agent architecture
The orchestrator pattern, specialist agents, persistent memory, and handoffs that survive machine boundaries.
4The production pipeline
Topic mining → script → voice → AI visuals → assembly → publish, with real per-video costs.
5Running it like an operator
Watchdogs, logs that explain failures, spend ledgers, and caps that keep the machine inside budget.
6The analytics loop
Live versus lagged data, the KPIs that matter, and experiments that actually change output.
7Growth engineering
Titles, thumbnails, funnels, and conversion — what the data rewarded and what it punished.
8Money
Platform monetization gates, direct revenue before them, and cost control as the survival skill.
9Appendices
Prompt templates, checklists, security hardening, and tool cost tables you can lift directly.

Questions people ask
Is this a "make money with AI" course?
No. It's a build-the-machine course. We teach the system — architecture, pipelines, operations, cost control. What you earn with it depends on what you point it at, and we publish our own numbers honestly rather than promising you theirs.
Do I need to be a programmer?
You need to be comfortable installing tools and following technical instructions. The AI does most of the actual coding — that is rather the point — and the course assumes you're learning as you go.
What exactly do I get?
A written course (all nine modules), delivered digitally, plus every future revision as the machine evolves. The optional monthly membership adds a private Q&A channel once it launches.
Refunds?
If the Playbook isn't what you expected, write to us within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund it. We'd rather have your trust than your hundred dollars.
