No formal honorable mentions for Week 1 (community vote format).

WEEK 2๏ธโƒฃ: THE ARTIFACT SPRINT
Build an interactive Claude artifact for Marcus, a fee-only financial planner. His clients need to know "are we okay for retirement?" before their first meeting. Prize: Free Lyceum seat.
Note: Week 2 was an artifact competition. Most entries were built as Claude artifacts and don't have GitHub repos. Links are included where available but artifact links may not persist long-term.
๐Ÿ† Winner: Virgilio Robinson - Are We OK
Built around the person, not the spreadsheet. Intake starts with who relies on you and how the worry actually feels. Three live sliders recalc against the target. Closes the loop by sending email plus three preferred dates straight to Marcus.

WEEK 3๏ธโƒฃ: THE SPECIALIST
Build a folder-based AI specialist using ICM methodology, five files (identity.md, rules.md, examples.md, reference/, README.md), solving a real problem in a specific domain. No copywriting. Prize: $325 cash.
๐Ÿ† Winner: Ruben Aguirre - Voiceprint
Rule 0 (no artifact, no post) is a real refusal mechanism. Two identity examples prove the methodology preserves voice difference. Six LinkedIn posts published in his own name in the week before submission as receipts. He openly broke the no-copywriting rule and addressed it head-on. Submitted a public sales page, a video, a TypeScript intake site, and a paid Done-with-You tier. He treated the submission as a product launch.
