Rainmaker beats shiny object.

Every ambitious student we know is sending the same 100 applications to the same handful of frontier AI labs. It feels like ambition. It is actually the shiny object — the most legible move, and therefore the most crowded one.

The bigger play is to become a Rainmaker: the person who can generate revenue with AI. Anyone who can do that gets hired anywhere, including by the labs.

That is what FDE Templates is for. The site is a curated library of AI Arbitrage templates: blueprints for making money with AI yourself, and for helping other operators do the same. Branding templates raise your price. Fulfillment templates collapse your delivery cost. Flywheel templates make sure the spread keeps widening instead of closing.
