Standards & Reference Architectures
Intermediate (SA, EA)4-5 hoursReference architecture library starter + standards register + architecture principles catalogue

How to create, govern, and operationalise architecture standards and reference architectures — the agreed patterns and structures that create consistency, reduce duplication, and accelerate delivery at scale.

...sprint. Reference architectures give teams a starting point — not a straitjacket — so they don't have to design from scratch. Keep it in mind. What standards are — And what they're not People hear "standards"...

AI Knowledge Systems — RAG, Search, Memory & Internal Knowledge
Intermediate4-5 hoursKnowledge system map + RAG decision framework + memory design checklist

Many useful AI systems are not smarter because the model is smarter. They are smarter because the system can retrieve, search, remember, and ground itself in the right knowledge at the right time.

...knowledge is not enough Search, retrieval, memory, and grounding When to use RAG Internal knowledge design Chunking, freshness, and authority Failure patterns in knowledge systems Design principles that...

How Architects Think
All levels — SA, EA, TS5-6 hoursSystems thinking toolkit + abstraction ladder + decision heuristics reference card

The cognitive toolkit of architecture — systems thinking, abstraction, balancing business and technical concerns, deciding under uncertainty, and trade-off thinking. Builds the mindset, not just the knowledge.

...the data inconsistency that cascades through three other services? That's emergent behaviour. Nobody designed that failure. It emerged from the relationships. There are four levels of systems thinking....

What is Generative AI?
Beginner3-4 hoursClear mental model of Generative AI + reference materials

Generative AI — what it actually is, how it works, what it's good at, and where it goes wrong. No hype. No math. Just clarity.

...question twice and you'll likely get two different answers. That's not an error — it's how the system was designed (some variability produces better, more creative outputs). But it means you can't treat AI like...
