The Reading Notes System.
By ZulomaVol. 01 · Method
For serious readers · Digital product

The Reading Notes System.

A three-move method for turning non-fiction into frameworks you actually use — capture lightly while reading, distil into one page in your own words, revisit on a fixed cadence. Includes the note template.

$19$29
What’s inside
Capture method
Mark only three types of things while reading — lightly
Distil pass
Compress the book to one page in your own words, within days
Revisit cadence
Two minutes monthly, five at a quarter — the non-negotiable part
The note template
Single page, ready to use on the next book you start
From readers

The distil pass is the part I was missing. I had notes everywhere. Now I have one page per book — and I actually use them.

S.K. — London

It changed how I buy books. I read fewer, but I keep more of each one.

R.M. — Singapore

The revisit cadence is the part everyone skips. That is where the system earns its keep.

The Second-Order Thinking Toolkit.
By ZulomaVol. 02 · Toolkit
For careful thinkers · Digital product

The Second-Order Thinking Toolkit.

Five prompts, one worksheet, and two checklists for tracing decisions past their first, obvious consequence — into the second and third order, where the real effects usually live. Includes a worked example.

$19$29
What’s inside
Five prompts
Devices for asking the next question when the mind wants to stop
Decision worksheet
Catch the second-order effect you'd rather not name
Two checklists
Spot first-order thinking; clear the deck before deciding
Worked example
The recurring discount — walked all the way through
From readers

The "and then what?" chain stopped me from making a pricing decision I would have regretted for a year. Worth it for that alone.

Founder — B2B SaaS

Simple prompts that are genuinely hard to answer. That is the whole point, and it works.

Strategy Lead — Consulting

I use the inversion prompt before every significant decision now. It surfaces the failure mode before it finds you.

The Slow Route.
By ZulomaVol. 03 · Guide
For deliberate travellers · Digital product

The Slow Route.

A planning guide for the stage before flights are booked — while the trip is still a set of possibilities. Pacing rules, three route templates, and the questions worth asking before you confirm anything.

$19$29
What’s inside
Pacing framework
Two-night floor, rule of three, one buffer day per week
Three route templates
Tested structures for 1–4 week trips
Questions before you book
The ones worth asking while the trip is still possibilities
Pre-trip worksheet
One page — the part you keep and fill before anything is confirmed
From readers

The two-night floor rule changed how I plan completely. I used to move every day. Now I stay until there is nothing left to notice.

L.R. — Berlin

I filled in the pre-trip worksheet for Japan and cut four cities. The trip was twice as good.

D.O. — Austin

Finally a guide that gives you something to decide with, not just advice to slow down.

M.T. — Melbourne

The S&OP Diagnostic.
By ZulomaVol. 04 · Diagnostic
For senior planners · Digital product

The S&OP Diagnostic.

A diagnostic playbook for planning processes that have stalled. Score eight dimensions honestly, follow the decision tree to the one intervention that will actually move things, and run the 30-day plan. Works in one sitting with two colleagues.

$39$59
What’s inside
The month-four cliff
Why transformations die at the same predictable point
8-dimension scorecard
Score what is true on a bad month — not the slide
The decision tree
Your scores point to the one place to begin
30-day stabilisation plan
From diagnosis to first visible fix
From readers

We ran the scorecard in one session and found the root cause in under an hour. We had been looking at the wrong thing for two years.

Supply Chain Director — FMCG

The month-four cliff framing alone is worth the price. It named exactly what happened to us — and told us why.

VP Operations — Pharma

Written by someone who has actually done this work. Not a framework from a textbook — a diagnostic from the field.

Planning Manager — Utilities
