Course outline

  1. 1Frame an AI Product OpportunityDescribe the existing workflow before naming a solution, choose deliberately from seven roles AI can play, and set the four gates a concept must pass before it earns a pilot.Beginner20 min
  2. 2Design Calibrated Trust and Human HandoffsTreat over-trust and under-trust as equal failures, build handoffs that carry enough context to be worth receiving, and replace the thumbs-down with feedback that routes to a team.Intermediate20 min
  3. 3Decide Between Buying, Prompting, Retrieving, and Fine-TuningClimb the capability ladder one rung at a time, test whether the thing you are considering building is actually your differentiation, and count the switching cost before you commit.Intermediate16 min
  4. 4Model the Unit Economics of an AI FeatureCost a feature per completed task rather than per request, find the levers that actually move the number, and choose a price that does not invert your margin at scale.Advanced17 min
  5. 5Define a Quality Bar and the Evaluations That Enforce ItTurn "it should be good" into thresholds tied to what an error costs, build an evaluation set from real failures, and gate releases on it instead of on a demo.Advanced17 min
  6. 6Run a Pilot That Reaches a Go or No-Go DecisionDesign a pilot around the one question that would kill the project, measure against a real baseline, and write the decision rule before you see any results.Advanced16 min
