Directions: the 90-day version of your report

$19, one-time, for one occupation and one state. The report is a map — destinations and prices. Directions is the road: which route first, which office, which date, which document, in which order — dated from the day you order it. Read a complete sample plan free before spending anything.

What's inside

Two or three priced routes where the registry covers your state, from the same registry as the report — institution, program, published price and duration, and the federal earnings record where College Scorecard has one (labelled “no record” where it does not).
Windows present in the stored registry, with status calculated for your plan date — application cycles, cohort start dates, “call for the next class” — each quoted from the institution's page on its recorded source date. This is not a fresh or comprehensive search of current windows. Dates computed from a published rule (“first Monday in November”) are marked as our arithmetic.
Thirteen weeks, one row each — apply, funding, start — with deadlines placed in the week they fall.
The funding steps in the order they pay — what the federal WIOA regulation actually says (quoted from the eCFR), your state's eligible-training-provider list, your state's American Job Center finder, FAFSA where the college says it applies, the apprenticeship finder.
The documents each institution's own page says to bring, a cost table with the extras the institution itemizes, four decision points and a kill line, and a Day-1 list of three actions with links and time estimates.
A “verify before you enrol” ledger — every figure, its source URL, the date we fetched it, and a tag saying how far to trust it.

What it will not do: it will not promise you a seat (the institution's office knows today's answer, not us), it will not tell you that you qualify for WIOA money (your American Job Center decides that, in person), it will not predict what you will earn, and it will not repeat a college's placement claims as if they were the public record. It sequences doors. Walking through one is yours.

How it differs from the $29 report

	$29 report	$19 Directions
Exposure readings from both public indices, with their authors' caveats	yes	no — points to the report
The adjacency finding recomputed for your occupation	yes	no
Priced routes with earnings records where they exist	full menu	up to 2–3 covered routes, or labelled reference routes, sequenced
Application windows and cohort dates, status on a plan date	no	yes, quoted from the institution
Week-by-week sequence with deadlines placed by date	no	13 weeks
Funding steps: WIOA regulation text, state ETPL link, job-center finder, FAFSA applicability per route	pointers	steps, in order
Documents from each institution's own page; decision points; Day 1	no	yes
Every figure sourced and dated	yes	yes, plus a trust tag per figure
Shelf life	months (prices rot)	weeks (dates rot) — it is dated on page one

Coverage today — read this before buying

The priced registry behind both products holds program rows in eleven states as of 2026-09-03. A plan for any other state says so on its first page, carries those rows labelled reference price — not your state, and gives you your state's own eligible-training-provider search to price the same credential locally. That is useful to some buyers and not to others; the sample shows exactly what you would get, so judge before paying.

Not sure whether public training money can pay for any of this? The free funding finder shows what is on your state's WIOA training list, what each program cost and what it produced, from the Department of Labor's own program index. Your local job center decides eligibility — this shows what is on the list and what it cost and produced, not whether you will be approved. If you were laid off recently, tell us at checkout and your plan opens with a days 0–3 section: where to file for unemployment in your state, the state's published weekly benefit floor and ceiling, the health-coverage windows quoted from the agencies, and the WARN-notice check.

Just laid off and not ready for a 90-day plan yet? The free Laid off in your state pages print the state's published weekly benefit floor and ceiling, where to file, the two 60-day health-coverage windows and the WARN list, sourced and dated; the same four days, dated for your last day, are a $5 document.

Why $19?

Directions is built from the same registry as the report plus a smaller set of institution pages, and it is more perishable — application windows and cohort dates rot in weeks, not months. So it is dated on page one and priced so that buying it again next quarter is not a hard decision. We do not price it high to make it look important.

Have the report already?

Directions does not repeat the report's exposure reading or the adjacency finding; it starts where the report's priced menu ends. Buy them in either order. The report and Directions bundle is $39, rather than $48 bought separately; the same coverage limits and refund terms apply.

What $19 is not

Not coaching, not a placement service, not a subscription. One dated document, built from the public record and the institutions' own pages, that you could assemble yourself with a long evening, a phone, and the patience to read a federal regulation.
