Learn one thing a day for twelve days

Every class teaches one idea, asks you three questions on it and then puts it to work on a real company.

Day 01

How to write an eval

Real inputs. Known answers. A score. Run it every time anything changes.

Day 02

How to route tasks to the right model

Cheapest model that passes. Per task. Rerun the eval when anything changes.

Day 03

How latency and cost trade off

Speed. Cost. Quality. Pick two per feature. Fix length before you fix the model.

Day 04

How prompts become product

The prompt is the product. Put it in the repo. Run the eval on every change.

Day 05

How to version a prompt

Number every version. Log it on every call. Canary before everyone. Rollback in a minute.

Day 06

How to measure a deployment

Five numbers a week. Errors predict complaints. Refresh the golden set when the world changes.

Day 07

How to handle a bad answer in production

Stop the radius. Find the version. Roll back. Write it up. Add the cases.

Day 08

How to keep data safe in the loop

Send three fields. Strip what identifies. Read the retention terms. Log the call.

Day 09

How to manage vendor risk

One file talks to the model. Test a second vendor every quarter. Read the deprecation email.

Day 10

How to budget an AI system

The model is a tenth of the bill. Budget the people. Set the daily alert before launch.

Day 11

How to run the monthly AI review

Five numbers. Three decisions. Something gets cut or the review isn't working.

Day 12

How to scale from one feature to ten

Build two by hand. Extract the platform. Intake stops the half that shouldn't be built.
