Turn Reading Into Recall

Use one real path before paying for a larger reading system.

The strongest test for a learning path is whether it helps you make a better decision, finish stronger work, or remember more later without adding much friction.

Start with the first book and one real bottleneck you already have.
Use the review schedule while the ideas are still close enough to retrieve.
Upgrade when saved continuity and stronger recall clearly earn their place.
