Learning, designed backwards

What do you want to become ready for?

Start with a meaningful outcome. Learn with a path shaped around your experience, your constraints, and the work you want to do.

01 · Begin

Choose your ambition

Not another course library

Your goal becomes the curriculum.

Everything you learn, practise, and build will connect directly to the outcome you chose.

✓ Existing experience counts
✓ The path adapts as you grow
✓ Progress means demonstrated ability

A conversation, not a form

Let’s find the shortest honest path.

Your guide learns from what you have actually done, then asks only the questions that matter.

02 · Discovery
Your guide
Tell me about a time you turned an unclear problem into something people could use.
I built an internal support assistant. I spoke with operations, prototyped with Gemini, and improved it after watching where people got stuck.
That signals discovery, prototyping, and iteration.
Where did you feel least confident—system design, evaluating the AI, or communicating trade-offs?
Evaluation. I tested examples manually but couldn’t explain reliability.

First mission

Can we trust this answer?

Learn a practical evaluation method, then use it on a support assistant.

“Looks good” is not an evaluation.

Turn the outcome a customer needs into observable tests.

Concept 2 of 5

Begin with the job the answer must do.

A support answer is not good because it sounds polished. It is good when it resolves the user’s need accurately, safely, and with the right next action.

Try it

A user asks: “Can I export all account data before deleting my workspace?” Which criteria matter most?

Realistic practice

A customer says the assistant is “often wrong.”

You have 25 minutes before a stakeholder review. Decide what to investigate and how you will present it.

06 · Practice

Build your investigation

Arrange the actions in the order you would take them.

1Ask for recent failed conversations
Turn the complaint into specific examples.
2Group failures by customer impact
Separate harmless issues from misleading actions.
3Create a repeatable evaluation set
Establish a baseline before changing the system.

Customer context

Northstar Health
1,800 employees · sensitive HR questions · launch in 3 weeks

The head of HR wants a reassuring update by 4 PM.

Ask your guide

Pressure-test my plan…↑
Specific, adaptive feedback

Your investigation is strong. Your stakeholder message needs work.

You diagnosed before prescribing—a good FDE instinct. Under pressure, you did not clearly separate what is known, unknown, and safe to promise.

07 · Coach

Your mentor review

One improvement that matters

Give a decision-ready update: impact, evidence, immediate safeguard, and when you will know more.

Path adapted

A 15-minute practice was added

Tomorrow’s activity will focus on explaining uncertainty without losing confidence.

Why this changed

You understand the technical move. The gap is translating it into a clear customer commitment.

Proof of capability

Turn learning into evidence worth discussing.

Your capstone mirrors the role: discover a problem, build a grounded solution, evaluate it, and communicate the trade-offs.

Credible evidence

Your evaluation is reproducible and tied to customer impact. Strengthen the architecture rationale.

Role simulation

Defend a decision, not a memorised answer.

The interviewer follows your reasoning, asks for trade-offs, and tests whether you can bring a customer with you.

Interviewer

A customer wants to launch tomorrow, but your evaluation shows 7% materially misleading answers. What do you do?

Take a moment. Think aloud when you’re ready; I may challenge one assumption.
