Six briefs, and the rubric for each
Everything below is what you would actually be asked to build, and the criteria a person reads it against. It is published before you apply, not after.
Two gates, both required. A short check — five questions, 4 correct to pass, unlimited retakes — and then the work itself, read by a member of the program team against the rubric on that week's page. You get 2 submission attempts per week. Week N+1 opens when week N clears both.
What you make, week by week
Prompt systems
You can turn a task you repeat into an instruction system someone else can pick up and run.
Research deck
You can research a question, separate evidence from fluent language, and present a defensible answer.
Knowledge brief
You can build a source pack, interrogate it, and write a synthesis whose every claim traces back.
Planning system
You can turn a messy real workflow into records, states, and views that someone can actually run.
Public web tool
You can specify a narrow problem, direct an AI builder at it, test the result, and ship it.
Proof portfolio
You can present five weeks of work so an evaluator can judge your decisions in five minutes.
Build all six anyway. The briefs are complete and the tools are free, and six artifacts a stranger can open is worth more than any certificate. What the program adds is the part you cannot do alone: a person who reads your work against the rubric and tells you where it falls short.
