A systematic methodology for technical knowledge acquisition using AI assistants.
BIF is a repeatable framework for building comprehensive knowledge bases on any company, product, service, or technical domain. Developed during CCA-F certification prep and proven across 10 batches covering the entire Anthropic ecosystem in a single session.
The core insight: structured consumption in priority order, with each batch building on the last, creates layered understanding that random reading never achieves.
Phase 1: FOUNDATION (Batches 1-4) → What it is, how it works, what's current
Phase 2: TECHNIQUE (Batches 5-7) → How to use it well, how to avoid mistakes
Phase 3: SOURCE (Batches 8-10) → How the creators use it, what to clone
Phase 4: ECOSYSTEM (Batches 11+) → Adjacent tools, community, competitive context
- Read FRAMEWORK.md — the complete methodology
- Copy a domain-specific template for your target
- Execute batches 1-10 using the per-batch checklist
- Upload knowledge files to your Claude Project

BIF applies the same structured reasoning principles as Base120 to the problem of knowledge acquisition: decompose the domain, compose understanding in layers, and recurse until mastery.
