and legacy committees.

· How it works for you

From the first call to a finished book.

· 01 · Brief

A confidential first call.

Executor, family counsel, or a designated family historian. We sign an NDA on the first call if it's needed.

· 02 · Scope

A volume, a series, or an archive.

One book for the founder. Or a set of seven, one per branch. Or an indexed, searchable archive your foundation can refer to in perpetuity.

· 03 · Delivery

Printed, archived, and indexed.

Printed and hardcover-bound to order, with an indexed, searchable digital archive alongside. ISBN-registered if you ask for it.

· What changes at this scale

NDA. A long-term private archive. Counsel-ready outputs.

Legacy engagements are scoped and contracted individually. They share the workshop's principles — every claim cited, no AI training on family material — but add the specifics a foundation or estate needs.

NDA on the first call
Standard mutual NDA template, or yours.
Your family's editorial review
Your family reviews and edits every draft — on your own or alongside the in-product AI editor — and approves before anything prints.
Printed hardcover
Each volume is printed and bound as a hardcover, print-on-demand, in the copy count you need.
ISBN if you want one
An ISBN can be registered for the volume on request.
Long-term archive
A perpetual private archive your foundation accesses with named admins, succession rules, and audit logs.
Counsel-friendly outputs
Provenance reports formatted to evidentiary standards. Citations in MLA, Chicago, or the format your counsel prefers.
· Who briefs us

Executors, family offices, foundation boards, private counsel.

Often after a founder's funeral, sometimes years before. Always with a clear mandate from the family and a clear timeline.

Your material stays private. We can work under NDA, your access is controlled and yours alone, and your counsel can review what we produce before anything is final.

· How we price

Engagements, not subscriptions. Quoted in writing, paid in milestones.

A Legacy engagement — a founder biography, hardbound copies for the family, an indexed digital archive — is scoped to what you need and quoted in writing before anything begins.

We can talk before signing anything. Initial calls are at no cost.

· Begin

A volume to outlive
the foundation that bears the name.

The first conversation is confidential, and on us.
