1. 0

   The Experiment

   Your baseline. Before the frameworks, before the games.

   Ask a live AI who funds social change in South Africa. Read what comes back. Notice what's missing, wrong, or flattened. That gap is the whole reason this Lab exists.

2. 1

   Delegation

   Delegation

   Delegate the typing, never the deciding.

   Some funder-comms tasks belong with AI — translation, first drafts, restructuring. Others must stay with a human — consent, positioning, who is on the cover. Learn the line by playing.

3. 2

   Description

   Description

   Context is the prompt.

   See the same task run two ways: a bare prompt vs a prompt carrying your foundation's voice, values and audience. The gap is the case for a voice brief.

4. 3

   Discernment

   Discernment

   The three-question filter.

   AI will confidently produce a post with an invented statistic, jargon that isn't yours, and framing that reduces a community to a problem. Learn to catch all three.

5. 4

   Diligence

   Diligence

   Where Ubuntu bites hardest.

   Four real scenarios funders face weekly. Choose the Ubuntu-aligned response. Get immediate, specific feedback.

6. 5

   Voice Brief Builder

   Your foundation's one-page brief.

   Answer a short form. Get a reusable one-page voice brief you can paste into any AI conversation from tomorrow onward.

7. 6

   Final Assessment

   Ten questions across the 4Ds.

   A mixed assessment across Delegation, Description, Discernment and Diligence. Retake as many times as you need.
