📝Note: This post is not about ICM, it's about tuning the AI systems you are using with ICM, if you're new to ICM, you can start Here: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/welcome-to-clief-notes-heres-where-to-start-2?p=f8f85a09 @Mira Bradshaw also made a great post to get you started! https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/clief-notes-gems-for-starting-in-icm?p=0385cbf9 Let's dive into the results just 48 hours later! 👇 Two days ago, I posted about pointing Fable at my own environment and finding out where my tokens were really going. 📝If you need to catch up with my first post: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/i-just-spent-the-last-few-hours-asking-fable-to-make-itself-cheaper?p=cc666986 A lot of you went hunting in your own setups after that post (and found GOLD 👏). So, here's the part two: what happened AFTER the audit. 📌 TL;DR - The fixes shipped, the savings are real, and the most important lesson came from re-measuring two days later: optimization is not an event. Drift never sleeps. The audit is worth nothing without a cadence behind it. 🧾 First, the receipts. Every fix from the audit is now live: ✅ The file that lied. My startup menu file claimed "450 tokens" in its own header and was actually ~7,000. It got rebuilt down to ~750, and the detail it was hoarding moved to where it already lived anyway (each project's own handoff file). 💡One fact, one place, and everything else that needs it points to it by design. ✅ The silent tax. My safety hook was injecting ~800 tokens into EVERY prompt, repeating rules that already load once at session start. It's now ~85 tokens: a short pointer to the rules instead of a full copy of them. 💡The enforcement never lived in the repetition; it lives in the hooks that physically block bad actions. Cut the prose, keep the mechanism. That one saves on every prompt, in every session, forever.

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone who is already running an AI agency or doing AI consultancy work could share their story. I am unsure when it is the right time to offer my 'expertise'. I don't feel like I add enough value to be asking high prices for services. I kind of feel like an impostor. What made you comfortable with selling your services in this field, and what advice would you give to someone who is just starting? I have to add that I just finished my bachelor's, and I decided not to continue my studies to spend more time becoming proficient in using AI so that I can sell my services to companies. However, I do not have corporate experience, so I cannot start creating workflows unless I create them for others.
