I’m writing Agency Is All You Need in public — every chapter ships as an essay, gets argued with by readers, then revised into the final book (Q1 2027).
Purpose
Halftime digest plus the reader survey that validates the business-case assumptions (EN/DE split, persona mix, willingness to pay).
Planned structure
Feedback digest. What changed in the manuscript since Interlude 1; the sharpest disagreement so far and how it was handled.
Decision-journal update. Tripwire review against baseline metrics: what the numbers said, what was kept, what was adjusted.
The survey. Short (≤5 minutes), linked, with the ask framed by the book’s own method: I steer by what comes back. Questions cover: life situation and which persona readers recognize themselves in; language preference (EN/DE); which dimension (capability / room / will) feels weakest; interest in workbook, templates, cohort — with honest willingness-to-pay probes.
Inputs needed before writing
Survey built and tested (Tally/Typeform); reply-quality log through Essay 9; metrics dashboard current.
