The Shades of Reason is currently a solo endeavor, and a big part of me would prefer to keep it that way. But if I'm able to build a small, highly vetted research team that is committed to precision, it would allow me to move the series along at a faster pace—so expansion is at the back of my mind.

The first iteration of Nuance Academy will be built with an existing digital platform, allowing contributors to access eBook files and modules in one place. The long-term goal, however, is to fund and build a custom platform with its own eReader to improve the reading experience. I also have ideas for incentivized learning features but I'll keep the specifics under wraps for now.

Written material will always be the core focus, but if resources allow, the plan is to invest in complementary video essays to ignite curiosity, and guide viewers towards the books for deeper learning.

The last idea I have for Nuance Academy (though it's a stretch) is to publish key works of antiquity that are public domain (such as those by Josephus or Herodotus) that relate to my work. While I'm always careful to provide proper context when quoting sources, having them in one place would provide ease of access for people to explore the evidence for themselves.
