Curriculum
Data fluency
The report names SQL as the single most-named tool (27), ahead of APIs (24) and MCP (23), and flags that no course teaches it: this is called out twice, in the missing-material list and as one of the sharpest JD-versus-course disagreements
- 02.01
SQL for PMs
You write the five queries a PM actually needs, a filtered SELECT, a GROUP BY, a JOIN and a date range, and read the answer yourself instead of waiting on the data team. - 02.02
Read the logs
You mine conversation logs, support tickets and traces for intent in the user's own words and for the failure samples everything downstream is built from. - 02.03
Cohorts
You define the cohort window and the denominator behind a rate yourself, and separate a metric you can defend to leadership from a vanity number that quietly hides a mix shift. - 02.04
From raw data to a golden sample
You turn raw logs and query results into a curated golden sample, sampling failures on-distribution so the eval set the later chapters consume measures the errors that actually happen. - 02.05
INTEGRATION CASE
Build a counted table of failure types from real runs, so you can sort fixes by frequency, severity, and evidence.
