Rhetrix Tracks · Grades 6 to 12

Every rep graded. From your first sixty seconds to five minutes cold.

A ladder of four levels a student climbs between sessions: a short lesson from Noah, one piece of real homework, and a recorded rep that comes back scored on the Command Scale with feedback in his voice. A level is finished on tape, never on the calendar. Parents see every rep, every band, and where their student stands.

How a week goes

Watch the lesson

One framework from Noah, sixty to ninety seconds, the way he teaches it in the room: the idea, an example, the one thing to do.

Do the homework

One real thing in a real room: a conversation at dinner, a hand up in class, a call to a grandparent, a line said three times across the house.

Record the rep

Sixty seconds on Foundations, up to five minutes cold on Command. Phone or laptop mic. Audio only, and it is deleted the moment it is scored.

Read the scores

Nine skills, four bands, and lines in Noah's voice about the student's own words: what worked, what missed, the one thing to try next.

A rep or two a week puts a level at about a quarter. Sixty-one lessons on the ladder, every one of them something Noah teaches in the room.

The ladder

Placement puts a student on the level where the work starts. Each level has a bar, a capstone rep, and live milestones; a student who clears the capstone early moves up early.

Level 1 · Show up, speak up, follow through

Foundations

Stand up and talk about yourself for 60 seconds, prepared, notes in hand, and land it on a period.

13 lessons · capstone: the 60-second talk · finished at Holding on every skill

Level 2 · Stories and conversation

Range

Tell a two-minute story from memory with a deliberate pause and a laugh in it, carry a conversation with follow-ups and a question back, and answer a follow-up they have not seen.

15 lessons · capstone: the story and the follow-up · finished at Holding on every skill

Level 3 · Persuasion and hard conversations

Influence

Build a three-minute case with two minutes to think, hold a hard conversation with "and" instead of "but", make a real ask without the cushion, and answer the strongest argument against you.

18 lessons · capstone: the three-minute case · finished at Holding on every skill

Level 4 · Cold talks, interviews and leading the room

Command

Speak cold for five minutes on a prompt you see the moment you start, handle an interview on a video call, on the phone and across a table, and lead a group rep by coaching someone else.

15 lessons · capstone: five minutes, cold · finished at Commanding on most skills

The Command Scale

Not A, B, C. Every skill is rated on four bands that run from the tagline's "find your voice" to "command the room". Seven skills are measured from the recording, follow-through from the work itself, presence from the camera when it is on. Nothing is graded by hand; Noah steps in rarely, and only to raise a band on something he saw in a session. The bands group students. The feedback is real lines about the student's own words.

Nine skills

Pace · from the recording

The goal is to deliver a message, not finish a sentence. A slower pace gives your mind room to think.

Pause · from the recording

Two full seconds. The pause does the work the filler word was doing.

Filler words · from the recording

Paraverbals: um, like, but um, you know. Replace the bad habit with a good one.

Structure · from the recording

Point, Picture, Point. Open with the point, paint the picture, land back on the point.

The landing · from the recording

Land the plane. End on a period, not 'and, yeah, that's it.'

Power · from the recording

Throw your voice to the back row, with emphasis, not shouting.

Pitch · from the recording

End on a downturn to sound sure of it. Up-speak sounds like a question.

Follow-through · from the work

Show up, Speak up, Follow Through. The challenge, the homework, the restart.

Presence · from the camera

Hands out of the pockets, stand tall, eyes around the room, not one safe spot.

Four bands

Finding

The skill shows up sometimes, by accident, when the moment happens to go well.

Forming

Can do it when reminded, and knows when it did not happen.

Holding

Beginning to show signs of being able to hold the room: the skill shows up without being told.

Commanding

Automatic, and it holds up under pressure: cold, in front of a room, when the mind goes blank.

A level is finished at Holding on every skill across the last three reps. Command is finished at Commanding on most.

What a parent sees

The student's card in the portal: the level and its bar, the Command Rating, nine skills with a band each, what finishes the level, every rep with its lines and transcript. A short note every Sunday on what moved. At the end of a level, a one-page report: where they started, where they are, the three reps that moved them. And a parent-only view of how they stand against the other students on the level, folded away so the student does not see it.

What is recorded

Audio only, in the browser. The recording is transcribed and scored within minutes and then deleted; the words, the timing and the scores stay. Loudness and pitch are measured in the browser as numbers. Turn the camera on for a rep and presence is scored from pose landmarks, numbers only, no video anywhere. A student may add an unlisted YouTube link of the same rep for Noah to watch; YouTube hosts it, and accounts need to be 13 or a parent's.

$69 a month. $390 for six months. $699 for the year.

Six months is two levels for a student who keeps the weekly rhythm. A year is the ladder. Terms are commitments.
