The book, worked through.
Course 4 is the guided companion to AI Systems Architecture & Leadership. Same sessions as the book, in the same order — the book’s structure is the course’s structure, its vocabulary the course’s vocabulary, its checks the course’s checkpoints.
In production — no dates, no pricing, nothing enrolling.
Course 4’s content is produced through the same build process as Course 1 before it ships. Pricing and access are announced at release; nothing is purchasable yet.
One shell, every course.
Session navigation on the left, the current lesson on the right, progress kept per session, previous and next always in reach — the same product architecture for all six courses, so the interface never has to be relearned.
Current lesson
Content in production.
The first session of AI Systems Architecture & Leadership publishes with the book at release. Until then, the standard this course will hold is already visible: Session 1A of Course 1, free in your browser.
Progress, bookmarks, and position are kept per course — resume exactly where you stopped, once the course is released.
Level 04 · Architect
Architecture reviews, escalated to the level.
Architects are assessed on judgment, so the artifact is the decision record: the context, the options, the trade-offs, the call. A structured review challenges it against governance criteria — every claim traced to its evidence, every risk named. The revision trail is part of the submission: what changed and why is documented.
Decide
Write the decision record — context, options, trade-offs, the call.
Trace
Every claim linked to its evidence; every risk named.
Review
Structured challenge against the book’s governance criteria, point by point.
Revise
The revision trail is part of the artifact — what changed and why.
Finish the work. Keep the evidence.
What completion requires.
- Work the sessions in order. Each session builds on the last; none can be skipped.
- Complete each session’s assessment in the level’s format — Architecture reviews (Review artifact — the decision record, defended).
- Capstone: the book’s end-of-course capstone, worked and documented — the proof of the course.
- There are no certificates to earn and no grades to chase — the inspectable evidence of your work is the outcome.
Resume behavior.
The shell remembers your session and your position — reopen the course and you are exactly where you stopped, on any device. Progress, bookmarks, and position are kept per course, the way the library keeps them per edition.
Resume opens at release, when Course 4 ships in the integrated learning platform.
One path, five stops.
The level sets the ambition. The book carries the curriculum. The course guides you through it. The reader is where you read; the library keeps what you own; My Learning keeps your place across all of it.
