The Foundation Framework

Five pillars for evaluating a partner before the dopamine wears off.

Seven days, seven emails, one decision tool you can actually use. Drawn from the central framework of Killed by Cupid — taught here as a standalone course you can apply this weekend.

$29 — one-time, lifetime access

Seven daily emails over seven days

This is the operational version of the framework that anchors Killed by Cupid. The book makes the case. The course shows you the work.

What you get

  • Seven structured emails delivered one per day, on a schedule that fits in around real life.
  • A printable PDF worksheet for each pillar — questions, prompts, and a simple scoring sheet.
  • A final 90-day evaluation guide for applying the framework to a current partner or anyone you’re considering committing to.
  • Lifetime access. Re-read it when the next person shows up.

Who it’s for

People who finished the relevant chapters of the book and asked “now what do I actually do.” People considering partnership decisions — moving in, marriage, kids, or recovering from a partnership decision that didn’t hold. The course is short on theory and long on the questions themselves.

Who it’s not for

If you’re looking for “manifest your soulmate” content or a flowchart that ends in “trust your gut,” this is the wrong product. Refund cheerfully on request.

Curriculum

7 lessons, built to be applied.

  1. 01

    Day 1 — The myth you're working against

    Why the romantic model produces the divorce statistics it produces, and what the data actually says about how relationships succeed.

  2. 02

    Day 2 — Pillar 01: Character alignment

    Not hobbies. Not music taste. The real question, and a 12-line script you can adapt for the conversation.

  3. 03

    Day 3 — Pillar 02: Economic reality

    How to have the money conversation without making it feel like an interrogation. The five questions that surface 90% of red flags.

  4. 04

    Day 4 — Pillar 03: Stability quotient

    Reading the regulation pattern. What contempt sounds like before it's directed at you. The Gottman receipts.

  5. 05

    Day 5 — Pillar 04: Family integration

    Marrying the relational template. The holiday test, the parents-aging test, the friends-of-friends test.

  6. 06

    Day 6 — Pillar 05: Life architecture

    Where, with whom, doing what, by when. The conversation most couples avoid until year three.

  7. 07

    Day 7 — Putting the floor down

    How to integrate the five pillars without sounding like a job interview. Plus the 90-day evaluation worksheet.
