Year mix
A year is a triple: income × skill × expectation. The ledger below is the mix you are in. Money and time stay local; they map onto sprint capacity and service thresholds without becoming a personality score.
Add money or protected focus time (hours, days, or 13-cycles aligned to your own release rhythm). Watch capacity map onto scope cards, creator work, systems sprints, and advisory. Optional context fields can name the practice this capacity serves — software, film, illustration, organization. Time entries become numericity-native cauldron ingredients. Prime a milestone or a "why" as an optional next gesture. Nothing leaves this browser.
Budget Dashboard
This is a private working surface. The ledger lives in localStorage on this device until you clear it.
Ledger
Add saved money, expected income, or expenses. Planning scratchpad for the mix you are in — not a moral scorecard. An optional "motive" note can name the practice this capacity serves; the note moves with the value into the cauldron when you choose to prime it.
Service Affordance
From $250. Proof cards, scope notes, and a diagnostic memo when the work is real but still forming.
Creator WorkFrom $600 (plates $250). Formatting, covers, author sites, and series openings from $4,000 — work that can carry a practice you are already funding.
Systems SprintFrom $5,000. Durable sites, web systems, UX-flow testing, and scoped production work.
Architecture & AdvisoryFrom $18,000 or $225/hr. Architecture, diligence, and staff-level advisory.
Time Capacity
Budget time the same way you budget money. Track saved focus time and allocate it across your own rhythmic cycles. Optional context lets you name the character or thematic pressure this protected attention serves. In the right mode (or when primed), these become cauldron ingredients that surface playful quantifiers for deeper discovery — a living trace of how you chose to spend your becoming.
Count this mix
Income × skill × expectation. 3×3×3 is 27 shapes; three specimens are named below. Radios light a card when the triple matches. Specimens on About years share stems so kinship can light.
Heard × unknown × proof
A number arrives before the day-to-day does. Parse career[year]{heard.unknown}.
Job × craft × people
The band can rise. Interpersonal life still has to be learned. See the years.
Sprint × public × care
This ledger’s job: make a small capacity visible without turning it into a moral score.
