About the 20% Vault

Welcome to the 20% Vault

The 20% Vault was created for readers who want more than summaries — for thinkers, builders, and lifelong learners who crave depth without drowning in filler.

Most books are 300 pages long because they can be. Algorithms reward length, publishers reward volume, and readers are left to dig for the gold themselves.

Here, we do that digging for you. Each synthesis pulls out the 20% that actually matters — the frameworks, insights, and lessons that change how you think, work, and create. You’ll find clear rewrites, reflection prompts, and practical takeaways designed to help you use ideas, not just collect them.

This isn’t a content mill or a quick-fix library. It’s a vault of clarity — built slowly, intentionally, and with respect for the ideas worth keeping. If Blinkist is speed and Shortform is analysis, the 20% Vault is synthesis: a middle ground for those who value precision, context, and application.

Join us as we turn reading into a craft — one synthesis at a time.

The Problem We Saw: Why Another Book Platform?

• Non-fiction books: bloated with filler.
• Blinkist-style apps: too shallow to use.
• AI summaries: generic, lack context.

I was frustrated with wasting hours on books and summaries that never turned into action. I wanted something deeper than Blinkist , lighter than a full book, and more usable than AI outputs. That became the 20% Vault.

So what become my Mission?

To build a vault of clarity — where every book becomes a tool you can use immediately.

The 20% Vault exists to close the gap between reading and results. Most people don’t need more summaries or highlight dumps — they need clarity they can act on.

Our mission is to extract the essential 20% from the world’s best non-fiction, rewrite it with context and insight, and pair it with tools that make ideas usable in real life.

Each synthesis is designed to save time without sacrificing depth, helping readers think sharper, make better decisions, and apply wisdom faster. This isn’t about consuming more content — it’s about compounding what matters.

What Makes Us Different

• Clarity without clutter — we strip away filler and focus on the 20% that drives 80% of the value. Every word serves a purpose.
• Depth + voice — written by humans, refined with AI, each synthesis reflects lived experience, not lifeless transcription.
• Action layer — prompts, reflections, and Notion tools help you turn ideas into results.
• Reader-first design — every piece is crafted for usability: short sections, clear formatting, and takeaways you can copy and apply instantly.
• Companion-driven learning — optional GPT assistants trained on each synthesis guide you through reflection and execution.
• Modular structure — each book connects into a growing ecosystem of frameworks and models, so your learning compounds over time.
• Transparency over hype — we value insight over marketing. No buzzwords, no “10x secrets,” just clarity that works.
