Two Engines. Ninety-Two Days. One Scoreboard.
The signed proposal broken into dated tasks with named owners. A living document: it changes after every review.
A Dojo, Not A Gym. Seats Are Scarce, So This Is Not About Reach.
Founding members at AED 999 a month on a 12-month term.
Doors open 1 October; DFC runs 31 October – 29 November.
A sales engine that follows up by name, not by template.
Month one calibrates; day 30 sets committed targets. Your break-even (~40 members at AED 1,100–1,200) and survival line (45–50) are what the scoreboard aims at, not numbers we invented.

Ground Rules
- We run the digital engine; the founders run the room. Coaching, trials, community and Chris's voice are FORJ's.
- Every dependent input has a date. If it slips, our date slips, and we say so on Friday.
- Nothing publishes without Aastha or Chris.
- vibefam is FORJ's account. We support; ownership, billing and data stay with FORJ.
- Followers and impressions are never evidence. Trials booked, trials converted, members.
- Month one is calibration. From 30 September every campaign runs against a planned number.
- Paid only after day-30 data, and only if it demands it.
- Sequencing flexes; the DFC window and founding offer do not.
