Solution Decomposition
Intermediate (SA, EA)4-6 hoursDecomposition canvas + domain/service/component hierarchy guide

How to break large, complex systems into smaller, independently manageable parts — so different teams can build, own, and change them without stepping on each other.

...Common coupling — components share global data. Both read/write the same config file or shared table. Control coupling — one component passes control flags to another. "Process this, but skip the validation...

AI Capabilities, Limitations & Use Cases
Beginner to Intermediate3-4 hoursTask-to-AI fit judgment + reference materials

What AI is genuinely good at, where it will let you down, and how to match the right task to the right tool. The judgment you need before you touch a prompt.

...Sometimes meaningfully different. This is by design. There is randomness baked into every response (controlled by temperature settings). It produces more natural, varied output. But it also means you cannot...

Multimodal AI
Beginner to Intermediate3-4 hoursMultimodal use case map + modality selection framework

AI is no longer just text in, text out. Learn how modern systems work across language, images, audio, video, and documents — and how to choose the right modality for the job.

...translation tax. Multimodal systems are at their best when they remove that tax without weakening review and control. Documents are their own world One of the biggest mistakes people make is treating documents...

Cognitive Load & Team Interfaces
VP Engineering, Platform Leads, Engineering Managers, Principal Engineers3-4 hoursCognitive load assessment per team, an interaction model, and a platform team charter naming what the platform does and does not own

A team can only hold so much — and the interaction modes between teams are what decide whether that limit is respected or quietly exceeded.

...never accounted for. Three interaction modes — the interface is the design Team types alone do not control cognitive load. How teams interact does. Two teams working on the same problem carry each other's...

Architecture Decisions & ADRs
All levels — SA, EA, TS3-4 hoursADR template + decision log + rationale guide

How to capture, document, and govern architecture decisions using ADRs — the lightweight mechanism that turns tribal knowledge into shared understanding.

...use the lightweight process. Over five, you need something more formal. Where ADRs live — In version control, close to the code ADRs stored in a wiki no one checks, or in a shared drive no one navigates,...

AI Agents and Automation
Intermediate to Advanced6-8 hoursAgent use case map + architecture blueprint + governance framework

AI agents — what they are, how they work, the protocols shaping them (MCP, A2A), and the governance you need before you let one act on your behalf. The bridge between AI that talks and AI that does.

...and A2A Tool use — giving agents hands Memory — what agents remember Multi-agent systems Governance — controlling agents The agent architecture in one diagram Cheat sheet The shift from automation to agency A...

Data and AI
Intermediate4-6 hoursData readiness assessment + governance framework + pipeline blueprint

The data foundations that make AI work. Data quality, governance, architecture, pipelines, and the GenAI shift from training to retrieval. Most AI failures are data failures — learn the patterns and prevent them.

...it Data without governance is a liability. Data with governance is an asset. The difference is who controls it, who can access it, and how it's protected. Component Key question AI implication Data...
