Career route

Discover a customer workflow, reduce its riskiest assumptions, and carry a useful AI system through measurement and rollout.

~14h12 lessons

1. Common Core

5 lessons

Frame the customer outcome, workflow, assumptions, and smallest useful test.

You'll build: A workflow brief with outcome, evidence, assumptions, risks, and an executable slice specification.

  1. Define the Outcome Before You Choose the Output~1h
  2. Discover the Workflow People Actually Perform~1h
  3. Map Assumptions and Resolve the Riskiest One First~1h
  4. Choose the Smallest Slice That Can Change the Decision~1h
  5. Write Specifications That Preserve Judgment~1h

2. Role Practice

4 lessons

Build and evaluate the narrow AI system against explicit success criteria.
