The curriculum
Four modules. Each one ends with something you can use on a brief.
Meridian is built around real commercial briefs. Every module hands you a working piece of your pricing, so you finish with documents, not just notes.
Four, in order
Self-paced. Most people finish in a weekend
Lifetime, with future updates
Bring a real brief. The worksheets only work with real numbers.
Module by module

Before module one
Meridian assumes you have quoted at least one paid brief
If you have not yet, it will make more sense once you have. The framework adjusts for your market and experience. It does not hand you one fixed number; it shows you how to build your own.
Meridian does not teach drawing, and it is not for selling prints. It is for pricing commercial commissions.
