Straight answers

What exactly is included for $297?

The complete 42-Day Artist Launch Lab — six modules, 42 daily lessons and challenges, the RAP AI Coach, the Artist Launch Portfolio™ builder, badges and a Certificate of Completion — plus six months of RAP Architect Collective™ access included at no extra cost. Lab materials remain available to you afterwards.

What happens after the six included months of the Collective?

Nothing happens automatically. Collective access simply ends unless you actively choose to continue at $49/month or $490/year. We do not auto-enroll or auto-renew you into a paid subscription, and you will not be charged for continuation unless you opt in yourself.

When does enrolment open — do I have to wait for a cohort?

There are no cohorts and no closing dates. RAP Architect™ is evergreen and fully self-guided: you can enroll on any day of the year and start Day 1 immediately after checkout.

What is your refund policy?

A 14-day participation-based satisfaction window. Email us within 14 calendar days of purchase, having completed orientation and the Artist Baseline Assessment and begun the first assigned Rhythm exercise, and we refund you in full. It is a satisfaction window rather than a guarantee of artistic or business results, and your statutory consumer rights are unaffected where they apply.

Do I need any experience to start?

No. The Lab starts at identity and rhythm fundamentals and builds from there. If you already write and record, the daily challenges scale with you — the rubrics are self-scored against your own baseline.

Is the 42-Day Artist Launch Lab self-guided?

Yes. Every lesson, challenge, reflection and portfolio step is designed to be completed on your own with the RAP AI Coach for guidance. No human appointment is required to finish the programme.

Where do humans come in?

AI is the default guidance layer and is available throughout the Lab. Human-led features live in the RAP Architect Collective™ (included for your first six months, optional after that) and the optional Pro Review add-on — monthly Rhythm, Arts and Performance labs, Q&A and office hours, group portfolio feedback, priority support, member showcases, collaboration networking and discounts on reviews.

How much time does it take each day?

Plan for 30–60 minutes a day. The lesson is short; the daily challenge and reflection are where the work happens. If you miss a day, you pick up where you left off — progress is by lesson, not by calendar.

Do I have to finish in exactly 42 days?

No. Forty-two days is the designed pace, not a deadline. Your access to Lab materials does not expire.

What is the AI Coach, exactly?

A guidance assistant trained on the RAP Architect method. It explains lesson concepts, generates practice prompts, helps you reflect, organises study plans and gives constructive, non-authoritative feedback on work you enter. It is AI guidance, not human professional advice.

Will this get me streams, followers or a deal?

No, and we will not claim otherwise. The Lab develops skill, output and a portfolio — things inside your control. Audience, revenue and industry outcomes are not guaranteed by anyone, including us.

Is the certificate accredited?

No. The Certificate of Completion records that you finished the 42-Day Artist Launch Lab. It is not an accredited qualification.

What equipment do I need?

A phone is enough to complete every challenge. A basic microphone and headphones help from Module 4 onward but are not required.

Can I do the Collective without the Lab?

Yes, though most members find the Collective more useful once they have a portfolio to bring to feedback sessions.

RAP Architect™ provides education and creative training. We make no guarantee of income, streams, followers, placements, record deals or any other outcome. Music-business material is general education only and is not legal, financial or professional advice.
