FOUNDING COHORT #1 • 50 SEATS MAX • Q1 LAUNCH

Apply for Cohort #1

Most analytics work gets ignored—AI is making it faster, not better. Apply if you want to ship a Decision Packet leadership can act on.

Payment plans: Standard 2-pay $800×2 ($1,600) • 3-pay $550×3 ($1,650)

What you’ll walk away with
  • A Decision Packet on a real project your VP can use
  • A repeatable system for decision-grade analytics
  • AI guardrails (hallucinations, false confidence, QA)
  • Executive communication practice (Week 6 briefing)

Time: ~4–6 hrs/week for 6 weeks (videos + clinic + work time).

How to evaluate this program
Before you buy any analytics training, ask:
  • Will I ship a real deliverable on my company’s data?
  • Will I learn the full workflow (question → data → analysis → decision)?
  • Does it address AI risk (hallucinations, false confidence)?
  • Is there live expert feedback?
  • Can the capstone go directly to leadership?
If “yes” to those, it’s outcomes training—not content consumption.

Common questions

What if I miss a live clinic?

Every clinic is recorded and the replay is available within 24 hours. You can also attend the optional office hour to catch up. Missing one week won’t derail your progress.

What tools do I need?

Choose your lane: Operator (DuckDB + VS Code + Python), Enterprise (Snowflake + Tableau), or Browser fallback (Google Colab or Hex.tech) if corporate IT blocks installs. All three lanes are included. Week 0 walks you through setup.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. Full refund within 7 days of cohort start or before Module 2 release, whichever comes first. You may also transfer your seat to the next cohort one time.

How is this different from a certificate or bootcamp?

Certificates prove you passed a test. Bootcamps teach tools. This program produces a real deliverable on your company’s data that your VP can act on—plus a repeatable system for every analysis after that. It’s a different category: outcome-driven, not content-driven.

What if my company won’t pay?

Most companies will, if you frame it correctly. Use the “Convince Your Boss” template—it positions this as AI risk mitigation and ROI, not a perk. We also offer payment plans: 2-pay ($800×2) or 3-pay ($550×3).

Is this a prompt engineering course?

No. Prompting is one tool inside a larger workflow. This teaches the full system between a business question and a decision—and how to use AI safely within it, including guardrails against hallucinations and false confidence.
