The Roadmap is the planning and community-priorities page of the JacobFrees Wiki. It documents the projects currently in development or under consideration by Jacob Frees, along with the process by which community members propose and prioritize new work. Direction is set partly through visitor votes on what should be built next.

The roadmap model: evolution, not courses
The author argues that the traditional model of recording videos and hoping for sales is evolving, because AI and platforms such as YouTube can teach information more effectively, quickly, and for free. What cannot be replaced is transformation — wisdom earned through hands-on experience, real accountability, and community.
The 3C model (Curriculum + Coaching + Community)
- Curriculum: A specific methodology — a “zero to hero” transformation focused on a single outcome rather than “teaching everything to everyone.”
- Coaching at scale: One-on-one conversations held in a group setting; when one person asks, ten more benefit.
- Community: Peer accountability, human connection, and forward momentum.
The cohort is meant to come first — sell before building. This starts with an outline, interviewing people at the pain point, and letting them shape the curriculum through live iteration before it is recorded.
Project: off-grid electrical systems (shuttle bus and beyond)
A full off-grid electrical system design documented from a real shuttle bus conversion, applicable to vans, tiny homes, cabins, and any mobile power setup.
- Solar array: 5× Hyperion 405W panels (5P config)
- Battery bank: 2× ECIENWELL 300Ah LiFePO4 (series for 24V)
- Charge controller: Victron MPPT 150/100
- Inverter: OLTEANP TK-4000 (4000W pure sine)
- Shore power: 30A input with transfer switch
- Distribution: Victron Lynx Distributor
- DC-DC charging: Valefod buck converter (alternator charging while driving)
The project is presented as a field report rather than a theoretical guide — every connection, mistake, and “why does this wire get warm” moment. The full wiring diagram, cable schedule, and build order are planned as a digital product, while the wiki entry remains free.
Status: In progress — the system is being installed and tested, with documentation released as it develops. The community is notified when it ships.
How to propose a project
- Drop it in the community discussion.
- If it gains traction (votes and comments), it moves to “In Planning.”
- The author assesses alignment with the site’s pillars and available capacity.
- If approved, it moves to “In Progress” with milestones.
- When completed, it ships here and on the main site.
There is no gatekeeping; the roadmap is intended as a conversation rather than a decree.
