Most reasons to write are already answered on this page.

There is no support desk behind this book — there is one person. So the questions that can be answered once are settled below, in full, rather than queued. If yours is not one of them, the form is further down and it reaches him directly.

Before you write

Three questions this page can settle without an email.

Each is answered in full below, with a link to the page that goes further. None of the three needs a form.

Buying a copy

“Where do I actually buy the book, and is there a digital version?”

Comes up for individual readers, and for managers buying two or three copies for a team.

The paperback is published by Notion Press — 276 pages, 108 frameworks across 10 modules. It is sold through the usual retail listings, and the buying links on this site will point at them.

For a single copy, buy it wherever you normally buy books. For ten or more — a team, a department, a library — the order goes directly through Raphy and is invoiced, because that is cheaper than retail and does not involve a licence, a platform or a per-seat fee.

Whichever copy you end up with, everything behind the QR codes is free and needs no account. Buying more copies does not buy more access; it buys more copies.

A prompt misbehaving

“I ran the prompt and the answer was generic. Is the prompt wrong?”

Usually the same cause, and usually fixable in one edit.

A generic answer nearly always means the brackets were left as brackets. Every prompt in the book is built around placeholders you replace with your own specifics — your numbers, your market, your constraint. Pasted unfilled, the model has nothing to work with, so it returns the average of everything it has read.

The second most common cause is stopping at the first output. The frameworks are written to be argued with: push back once, name what is wrong, and run it again. That second pass is where the useful answer lives.

Both of these, and the rest of the failure modes, are written out on the How To Use page — including what to do when a model refuses, truncates, or invents a figure.

Using it at work

“Can I use these prompts with my team, or in a class I teach?”

Worth settling before you share a prompt internally, or put one on a slide.

Yes. Run the prompts at work, in class, in a workshop, in a client meeting. There is no licence to buy, no seat count to declare and no account to create — the pages behind the QR codes are open to anyone who scans them.

The one thing to keep straight is the difference between using a framework and republishing it. Running a prompt with your own data, teaching from it, or pointing people at the page it lives on is exactly what the book is for. Copying the text of the frameworks into your own paid course or product is a separate conversation, and that one does need an email.

If your organisation needs something in writing before you can use it internally, say so in the form — that is exactly the kind of message worth sending.

Who is at the other end

One author, one inbox. Worth knowing before you write.

Everything on this site — the book, the pages behind the codes, the replies — comes from Raphy Varghese, the author. Knowing that changes which messages are worth sending.

What you will get back

Things a single person can genuinely do

A reply from the author, not a ticket number or an autoresponder.
A page corrected if you report a mistake — and the QR code in your printed copy then points at the fixed version.
A quote for copies, invoiced to you or your institution, with nothing attached to it.
A straight answer on whether the book covers what you need — including when it doesn't.

What you won't

Not a policy — simply what one inbox cannot carry

A prompt written for your specific case. That is what the 108 frameworks are, and they are already yours.
A review of a business plan, a pitch deck or a financial model sent as an attachment.
A promised reply date. Some messages are answered quickly and some are not.
A change to what is printed in a copy you already own — only the page behind the code can be rewritten.

The message worth sendingIf you have found a mistake — a prompt that does not match its framework, a code that lands on the wrong page, a figure that looks wrong — that message is worth more than almost anything else you could send. It is the one kind that improves the copy sitting on everybody else's desk, not just your own: the page gets rewritten, and the code printed in every copy already sold starts pointing at the corrected version. Nobody has to buy anything again.

Everything else

What's left, and it goes straight to him.

Pick what it is about first — it changes what's useful to include, and the hint under the box will tell you what.

What is this about?

For a mistake: give the module and lesson number printed beside the framework — for example 6.6 — and say what you expected to find. That is enough to fix it.

This form is not connected yet. The site is still being built, so nothing you type here is sent or stored anywhere. The reply address goes live with the book.
One framework in your inbox, every other week.A prompt worth running and the decision it is meant for. Nothing else.

The mailing list is connected before launch — like the form above, nothing here is stored yet.
