You’re in.
Here’s exactly what to do next.
This page is your permanent reference for everything that happens after you subscribe. Five steps, four layers, one dashboard — all explained clearly from day one.
Your membership delivers six assets per article
Every Tuesday when a new article publishes, a new pack drops in your Member Dashboard. Here is what each pack contains and what it is for.
The five-step synchronization protocol
Follow these steps in order, every week. Steps 0–2 happen offline in your Excel file. Steps 3–4 happen online. The full cycle takes under 10 minutes per week.
Theological Alignment — Open the THEOLOGY Folder
Before logging any data for a new protocol, open the [THEOLOGY] folder inside your downloaded pack. Read two documents:
IMTF Trace — the documented interpretive chain from the primary Quranic or Hadith source to the behavioral protocol. This shows you why the practice is what it is, not just what to do.
Full Pilot Report — the pre-registration record on OSF, the methodology, and the ethical constraints. Familiarizing yourself with the evidence base makes your practice more intentional.
Why this matters: Data without theological grounding is habit tracking. Data anchored in verified classical reasoning is disciplined Islamic practice. The distinction is the entire purpose of AIM.
Daily Logging — Record Every Ritual Instance
Open the Ritual_Logs tab in your Master Excel file. After each practice session, log one row with these values:
Two rules that protect your data integrity:
1. Log the same day — do not reconstruct from memory the next morning. Reconstructed data inflates your scores.
2. Never skip a row even on a missed day. Enter zeroes for Attempts and Successes. Gaps distort your trend line. The protocol uses the rule “never miss twice” — one missed day is recoverable; two in a row signals a friction point worth examining.
Weekly Calculation — Four Layer Scores Auto-Calculate
Every Sunday, open the AIM_Master_Sync tab. The formulas transform your raw Ritual_Logs data automatically into the four AIM Mastery Layer percentages. Note these four numbers — you will paste them into the sync form in Step 3.
Digital Synchronization — Update Your Mastery Profile
Return to the practice post, scroll to the Sovereign Progress Ledger section, and paste your four layer percentages from Step 2 into the Sync form. Your Global Mastery Radar Chart updates instantly — the visual shows you exactly where you are strong and where you need more practice.
Each sync is timestamped and stored. Over weeks you will see a trend line develop across all four dimensions simultaneously.
Review Your Progress — The Cumulative Dashboard
Your Account Dashboard aggregates every sync you have ever submitted — across all protocols, all posts, all time — into a single unified growth timeline. This is the difference between tracking one post and tracking your entire Islamic behavioral practice as a living system.
Visit the dashboard to review:
· Your cumulative Mastery Radar showing all four layer scores over time
· Long-term trend lines showing which dimensions are growing
· Your full history from your first pilot to today
What each percentage actually measures
Your four layer scores are not arbitrary metrics. Each one measures a distinct dimension of Islamic behavioral practice that classical scholarship has always distinguished — AIM simply makes them measurable.
Every tab in your Master Excel file explained
Your file opens with three visible tabs. Use them in this order every week. Do not rename or delete them — the formulas reference these exact tab names.

Where do I find my downloaded pack after subscribing?
Your pack is available immediately in your Member Dashboard. Each practice article has its own ZIP containing the CSV template, one-page pilot memo, habit sheet, and THEOLOGY folder. New packs are added every Tuesday when a new article publishes. If a pack is missing, refresh the dashboard — packs deploy within minutes of publication.
What is the THEOLOGY folder and why do I read it before logging?
The THEOLOGY folder contains the IMTF Trace — the documented chain of reasoning from the primary Islamic text to the behavioral protocol. Reading it first ensures your practice is anchored in theological understanding, not just behavioral habit tracking. This is what distinguishes AIM from secular productivity systems. Without this step, the protocol is just a spreadsheet. With it, it is disciplined Islamic practice.
What are the four AIM Mastery Layer percentages and how are they calculated?
IMTF measures technical precision of execution. IMVF measures theological depth and intentionality. IMPF measures your Resilience Gap — the average shift between Pre-Score and Post-Score across your logged sessions. AIBF measures habitual activation — how consistently the practice appears across different contexts and times of day. All four are calculated automatically by the AIM_Master_Sync tab using your Ritual_Logs data. You never need to calculate them manually.
How often should I sync my profile?
Once per week, every Sunday, after completing the AIM_Master_Sync calculation. Weekly syncing gives you a meaningful trend line without overwhelming you with micro-fluctuations. Monthly minimum is acceptable for slower-paced protocols or 90-day pilots. Daily syncing is not recommended — it produces noise, not signal.
Can I run multiple protocols from different posts simultaneously?
Yes. Each protocol has its own CSV file and each pack has its own ZIP. Your Master Excel file’s All_Protocols tab consolidates all active protocols. The AIM_Master_Sync tab aggregates across all of them. Your dashboard displays cumulative layer scores across everything you have ever run. The recommended approach for new members is to start with one protocol for 30 days before adding a second.
What happens if I miss a day of logging?
Log a zero-completion row for that day — do not leave a gap. Gaps in the data distort your trend analysis. Use the rule “never miss twice”: one missed day is recoverable; two consecutive missed days signals a friction point worth examining. When you identify a friction pattern, consult the troubleshooting section in your Pilot Memo for substitution options.
Is there a mobile-friendly way to log daily data?
Yes. The CSV template opens in Google Sheets on mobile. Add a shortcut to the sheet on your home screen for one-tap access — this is the recommended approach for consistent daily logging. The pack README also includes Notion import instructions if you prefer a database-style workflow. The AIM_Master_Sync formulas work in both Google Sheets and Notion database views.
What is the difference between Practitioner membership and Patron Partnership?
Practitioner membership provides personal-use access to all AIM implementation packs — CSV templates, pilot memos, habit sheets, and archive access. It is for individual Muslims running their own N=1 experiments. Patron Partnership adds commercial authorization: the right to use AIM protocols in paid courses, mosque programs, or institutional curricula, with distribution up to 10,000 learners per year across up to 3 projects. See the membership comparison table for the full feature breakdown.
Does my membership auto-renew and how do I cancel?
Yes. All plans auto-renew at the billing cadence you selected — monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can cancel anytime from your Account Dashboard → Membership Billing. Cancellation stops future renewals and retains your access until the end of the current billing period. All downloaded packs remain yours after cancellation under the CC BY-NC-SA license terms.
My pack or Excel file is not working — what do I do?
First, verify the file using the PGP signature and checksums in the manifest.txt inside your ZIP — a failed checksum means a corrupt download, re-download from the dashboard. If the AIM_Master_Sync formulas return errors, ensure you have not renamed the Ritual_Logs tab — the formulas reference that exact name. If the issue persists, use the contact page with your order ID and a screenshot of the error. Support responses are sent within 48 hours on working days.
Ready to run your first pilot?
Start with one practice post, follow Step 0 through Step 4, and sync your first results. Your dashboard begins the moment you submit your first score.
