Moving Up the AI Capability Ladder

A guided introduction to what the real capabilities are, why step functions in capability require step functions in complexity, and how to use existing tools to take the next step. Three sessions with explanation, guidance, and a week of support while you use the tools to work on your actual problem.

MAY COHORT

April 26 – May 15, 2026

Three sessions, Tuesdays 6–7:30 PM MDT, over three weeks, with guided advice along the way. A second cohort option of Fridays 8–9:30 AM MDT is being considered.

SESSION 1

Context, History & Practicum 1

Where AI actually is (not where the hype says). The four deployment patterns that matter. Your first hands-on practicum: structured prompting and context management with real tasks.

Week 1 · Tuesday 6–7:30 PM MDT
SESSION 2

Practicums 2–4

Deep research workflows. Adversarial validation (making AI argue with itself). Role-based analysis across multiple expert perspectives. Each practicum builds on the last.

Week 2 · Tuesday 6–7:30 PM MDT
SESSION 3

Practicum 5 & Next Level

Grounded project setup: connecting AI to your actual data and systems. V-model integration. Toolchain configuration for ongoing use. What comes after the practicum ends.

Week 3 · Tuesday 6–7:30 PM MDT
