What is in the zip

1.READ THIS FIRST. 7 steps with a check under each 1. Make the folder. Drop the zip in. Open Claude Code and paste 1 line.

2.CLAUDE.md, the start file. Your AI reads it first. It carries the 5 rules. 1 question per turn. Your words outrank its summary. It never deletes or moves a file.

3.The interview. What you run. Where each thing lives. Which AI knows what. It asks until you say nothing else, then reads it all back to you.

4.The map. Every business you run. Every place your files sit. Every AI. Every side copy. All of it on 1 page, and nothing on it is a guess.

Arne-Per Heurberg, who goes by Per, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 1 month: Always got your back, RyMac. That isn't some throw away pithy line. That is a promise that I've seen followed through on repeatedly throughout the community before people even know that they need it, Ryan is building tools and honing skills to meet people at the earliest spot that they can possibly pick up the sales and marketing part of their journey. Nothing gatekept. Everything about people making it their own and them helping others. He shares from 3x+ successful sales careers. Don't miss it! — ★★★★★That is a promise that I've seen followed through on repeatedly. Nothing gatekept Per Heurberg

Marcelo Michelsohn, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 1 month: Best decision ever to join Build Market Close. It doesn't matter how well you can create an AI system if you don't know how to market and sell it. Ry Mac fills this gap with his decades of business experience and his knowledge of AI, specially ICM systems. One of the more generous, no BS, straight forward guys in this space. — ★★★★★It doesn't matter how well you can create an AI system if you don't know how to market and sell it. Ry Mac fills this gap Marcelo Michelsohn

Jason Reedy, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 12 days: I've been very impressed, not only with the competency, but the real sense of shared growth and the willingness of others to help. This is not a group for Guru's with all the right answers, instead it's a place for people to come together and share what they are working on and bring their experience to bear on the things others are trying to figure out. Ryan is also extremely helpful and glad to assist people on specific projects, it's not that just that he can help - it's that he is eager to. — ★★★★★This is not a group for Guru's with all the right answers it's that he is eager to Jason Reedy

Marcelo Michelsohn, a post on the Build Market Close Skool, a paying premium member: Day 2, touch 2 on WhatsApp, 14 of 33 have now replied. Yesterday was the email. Today my brother texted everyone who hadn't answered on WhatsApp, one by one. 8 more replies today. Where it stands: 4 clients requested proposals to send next week, one for an 1,800 people event, 4 conversations waiting on them, 5 honest no's with the door open, 19 silent.

I am not ready for VIP but I know all the info in the classroom here has helped me a lot to set the system up. Ry Mac has also personally helped me get out of analysis paralysis. It's easy to not want to start outreach, but when you do, you see its easy. Keep hustling ya'll, you'll get there if you just follow along. Below it, Angelo Ramos, a paying member: Ry Mac is the man you guys! Even before joining premium he kept adding value like I'm on premium VIP.

Darren Soares posting on the Build Market Close Skool, titled Struggling to get sales, Watch this: I wasted weeks calling people and wish I had seen this video sooner. I'm posting it here because information overload is real, and sometimes we all need a little push in the right direction. If you are trying to get sales and you haven't watched this video, you're holding yourself back. Ry Mac thank you for sharing your knowledge. Jordan Shaw thank you for mentioning this, I didn't realize the information I needed was right in front of my face. Underneath, Nuno Silva: I still hadn't watched this one, it's such a good video. So much relevant information in one small video, and no filler. How is this free Ry Mac I feel like I'm scamming you. — How is this free?

Ot Ratsaphong posting on the Build Market Close Skool, titled I almost skipped RyMac's About Me video. Glad I didn't. 5 likes and 7 comments. In the comments he adds: I'm on the floor at the moment and all your lessons are invaluable to me. Thanks Ry Mac, I'm going to go through your lessons first then I reach out for help. Just watched your videos. — I almost skipped RyMac's About Me video. Glad I didn't. a member who wrote his own post about it Ot Ratsaphong

The body of Ot Ratsaphong's post on the Build Market Close Skool: He's not a tech guy. He's a marketer who spent real money learning to use AI properly and then realized most people don't need to pay for the expensive tools to get started. They need to actually use the free tier well, and only pay when they're ready to implement. That's the opposite of what most AI gurus sell you. I'm building out a coaching practice right now, and that mindset, get good with what's free before you spend a cent is exactly the kind of thing I wish someone told me earlier. It's not just backstory, it's the philosophy behind his approach to sales. If you are runing or starting a small business, you're a seles person. Then go build something with what's free. That's the point. As he says, Go be dangerous! — That's the opposite of what most AI gurus sell you. get good with what's free before you spend a cent Ot Ratsaphong

Carlos Acuna commenting on the Build Market Close Skool, teaching the room something he worked out himself: Amazing Ry Mac, thanks! Since asking back then and reading our artifact and other replies to my original post, I also found a use case for projects inside Cowork. When you start the project, you can connect a folder and then set instructions. You can add your ICM folder to the project, once created you can set the instructions to: Before doing anything, open START-HERE.md and follow it. Then every chat in that project will get initialized correctly. — I also found a use case for projects inside Cowork a member teaching the room, with his own screenshots Carlos Acuna

Jude Doocey commenting on the Pricing Your Offer lesson on the Build Market Close Skool: bro that level of research before meeting or dealing is mental, its clear i havent been performing like the highest level people after watching this lol, i need to do more prepartion when given an opportunity, at what point do you begin your discovery and research on them though? after youve closed them for a meeting? or is that why you targetted the entire industry instead of one company so then your facts apply to everyone automatically? ive only just clocked that, thats so smart — that level of research before meeting or dealing is mental its clear i havent been performing like the highest level people Jude Doocey

Jake Van Clief, the author of the ICM methodology, 62.4 thousand subscribers, pinned comment on the ICM video with 23 likes: Great video my friend! Below it, James Holmes with 21 likes: The desk and folder metaphor made ICM finally click for me. It's refreshing to see a technical concept explained in plain English without unnecessary jargon. Great work translating a complex methodology into something anyone can understand. Then its Diya Roy: The real strength of this video is its clarity. Instead of just explaining concepts, it shows how to actually apply the ICM folder system in everyday use. Then Brandon Andrews: Showing your own mistake with duplicated tree structures and explaining how file drift quietly throws off the AI was super insightful. Thanks for showing the real process, mistakes included. Then Duvan Alejandro: I really liked how you broke down the ICM folder system into something easy to understand.

And though I understand conceptually about 75% of his content, your explanation gives me a front-line facing the AI firing head-on, deeper know-how of Oh yeah, that does click. It's admirable that you are authentic and don't put on a false persona of being a guru. I've subscribed to your channel. And thank you for your service as a Marine. siab7777: Amazing!

When we get the client, we get all their basic information first so we can feed it into the AI to make the ICM structure for them. Do you have a template or document you always send to clients, should I just use common sense and AI to generate one of those? New businesses just starting out will have a different set of questions compared to an established business — just what I needed at this time on setting up ICM for a small business Edwin Fernandez

Edwin Fernandez commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Introduce Yourself Below (Please & Thank You): Hey RyMac, I stumbled on your YT and liked the way you teach. I got into Jake Van's stuff but so confused and found myself not 'getting it'. Still trying to figure this thing out, I have pieces but trying to make it all click. By click I mean get someone to pay me online or even locally using it. Thanks for the content, diving in. — I stumbled on your YT and liked the way you teach a first hello Edwin Fernandez

Carla Bosteder commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Use ICM Folder Structure To Build An AI Recep...: Aren't you the best?! I'll watch it here in a bit. I'm just finishing some updates to one of my little projects. Thank you. I'm going to be digging deeper into all your materials in the coming week. I have a couple of my projects hitting the finish line so ready to put it all out there pretty soon. — Aren't you the best?! on the AI receptionist build Carla Bosteder

Jeff Van Leenen commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post The answer was already in my files. I just needed something to read it back...: @Ry Mac thank you very much. That was great to chat and spitball with you a little bit about this stuff, and I'm totally motivated. — I'm totally motivated after a call with Ryan Jeff Van Leenen

Ray Baker commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Introduce Yourself Below (Please & Thank You): Hey, I’m Ray from the UK (just realised that rhymes) :-) I got here from Clief Notes after seeing your explainer video - great help btw. I’m not in tech but always considered myself pretty good with it especially for someone in their sixties. When I read the posts on Jake’s Skool I realise I am light years behind them over there. Im sure a lot of people doing this, are like me and feel out of their depth sometimes, b — after seeing your explainer video - great help btw Ray from the UK, not in tech Ray Baker

Ray Baker posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled A win for a non-techie (posted 2026-09-21, General discussion): I posted most of this on Clief Notes a few days ago, but my ‘win’ is equally down to what I’ve learned here from @Ry Mac so it should be in here as well. If it helps anyone in anyway, that’s great and if there are any questions, shoot… I look after the finances for 2 small companies. One is a street food business that adores ICM even though they have no clue what it is and have even heard the term. They don’t pay me — my ‘win’ is equally down to what I’ve learned here from @Ry Mac a win for a non-techie Ray Baker

Edwin Fernandez posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled ICM starting to click thanks to RyMac's content: I made an attempt setting up an ICM structure on my computer.

Nuno Silva posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled The 3 Universal Laws is a great Insight: Just went through the Create Your Offer Using 3 Universal Laws material. This is a really strong start to the course. What clicked for me: the framing that literally any business is breaking at least one of the 3 laws (Speed, Persistence, the Right Message), and usually all 3. That reframes "what do I sell" into "what leak do I fix". Such a simpler way to think about offers. — The 3 Universal Laws is a great Insight on the offer lesson Nuno Silva

Nuno Silva posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled Woke up to more backlog: Stop posting so much content @Ry Mac . I don't have time to read all of it. Good thing I don't have kids yet, or I wouldn't have any time for them. Who agrees? Jk, keep it up GOAT! — Stop posting so much content I don't have time to read all of it Nuno Silva

E P posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled Blog: Got my first blog post live, used RyMac skill. It wrote a good blog post but ask ai does it made some of it confusing. Had to really fine tune is because it's dealing with laws. Seems kinda important to get that part right. I'm using claude code in terminal, then I had chatgpt and gemini read and help me refine it before I made my final edits.

Shane Walsh posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled great to be here: I found your videos on YT and love the transparency. I started an agency selling specialized landscaper software but it was a hell of a the thing to sell so I pivoted my agency to selling quality sites built with Claude and a maintenance package of $99/month to start. My niche is plumbers, landscapers, electricians that sort of thing. I'm in Ireland but I have a dialler for cold calling guys in the US too.

Carlos Acuna posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled FRED is Cool!!! How does he speed up your videos?: @Ry Mac .. I LOVE how you're mid video and say "Fred: speed this up" and thn speed gets to 2x or 8x to make the (interminable) Claude wait short. How are you making sure "Fred" get's the order, and speeds up as needed? Thanks! — FRED is Cool!!! on how Fred speeds up the videos Carlos Acuna

5.Move 2, the map: it reads it all back to you. Then it draws your map. Where the record says unknown, the map says unknown.

6.Moves 3 and 4 are created when you approve your map. If you know what you’re doing, then you can easily finish up. If not, come find me in Skool and I will help you.

P.S. Don’t try to “jam” ICM on top of any clutter or system you currently have. You start fresh with a foundational structure. Identify 1 worker agent, 1 desk, and 1 map. Then you “tool” it. This ICM Folder System will get you there without ever speaking with me.

P.P.S. The folder method is Jake Van Clief’s and David McDermott’s Interpretable Context Methodology (ICM). This ICM Folder System is mine.
