Mike Bellafiore: Source-Scoped Study Note
SMB education requires a selected programme. An editorial study assignment with explicit source limits, not a hidden rulebook.
What the source can support
SMBU's official Foundation offer identifies separate purchases. It does not establish that every programme includes the founder's individual review or the same curriculum.
Original exercise for this learning question
Choose a named programme and ask which task, assessment and reviewer it includes. Keep a general firm reputation outside the missing module-level matrix. Describe what a learner could explain independently after the proposed task.
Work without a live account. Record the original reference, the observation boundary and the first answer before examining a later result. When a definition is unclear, mark the uncertainty; do not supply a favourable fact from hindsight or attribute your own invented parameter to the author.
The distinction to explain
A professional trading environment and a selected retail course have different access and evidence boundaries.
Artifact and transfer review
Exact programme, syllabus request, assessment artifact and feedback ownership.
Retain the baseline and correction as separate artifacts. For a fresh task, explain what was supplied, what you assumed and what remains unobserved. This review concerns your understanding of an evidence boundary, not the original trader's current performance or a reproduction of a private system.
Source Identity
Original operator, author or publisher reference
The scope above identifies whether the reference is an authored resource, provider interpretation, institutional description or catalogue identity. It does not imply paid access, a new account audit or a complete modern method.

Learning Concepts and Fresh Cases
A playbook is useful when it records why a case belongs to a category and why a similar case does not. A gallery of successful charts may illustrate a concept without documenting selection boundaries or the learner's actual decision process.
Write a fictional playbook entry with observation time, contextual question, evidence, rejected lookalike and an unresolved fact. Ask a second reader to classify a new case using the entry. A disagreement can expose a missing definition instead of being hidden by a flattering final chart.
Retain setup cataloguing, review and development-cycle vocabulary as educational questions. A professional firm's identity does not grant a retail learner desk access or founder review. Save selected programme and feedback responsibility separately from the learning artifact; do not claim the exercise reconstructs SMB's internal training system.
Retained Vocabulary Reading Trail
PlayBook method, One Good Trade philosophy, prop firm development cycle, setup cataloguing, trade review process, A+ setups, scaling framework.
This vocabulary preserves the earlier topic coverage. It is a list of research leads, not a verified private rulebook. Any numerical setting or author-specific parameter needs its original definition and scope before being used or attributed.
