The Math-as-Credibility Strategy¶
- Every book features LaTeX-rendered equations prominently
- The equations are the differentiator from ALL other self-help books
- 'As soon as you add math, people believe it'
- We have MATHEMATIZED the soft sciences: intelligence, trauma, learning, physical training
- This positions the entire line as: scientific self-improvement (not vibes)
- The math IS the brand identity of RTSG Publishing
Revenue Potential¶
- The 850 Signs: massive crossover (ASL + self-improvement + education)
- How to Buy Intelligence: broad self-improvement
- Barefoot: memoir/autobiography market
- Zap: therapy/recovery market (growing)
- Tank Protocol: fitness market ($30B+ globally)
- RTSG Math: academic niche (but prestige)
- The Age of Intelligence: thought leadership
Next Actions¶
- Create LaTeX master template
- Convert 'How to Buy Intelligence' to LaTeX
- Begin illustrations for The 850 Signs
- Write Zap framework chapters
- Assemble Barefoot manuscript for second draft
