- Case Files #001-#006
- Six public investigations that introduce the CCF method
- Read the reasoning path before committing to a paid plan
Start with the public Case Files, build disciplined reasoning in Student, then use that reasoning in Pro Labs to build real-world solutions.
Each plan uses the same proof-first method. Student teaches you how to reason about the solution; Pro puts that reasoning to work in Labs.
