We treat labs like living products with analytics, burn-down charts, and user segments, not static syllabi.

Lightning Discovery
We run a 90-minute whiteboard with employer engineers to map success states, failure modes, and must-have artifacts. Those become the blueprint for the lab's instrumentation, not just lesson notes.
Telemetry-Ready from Day Zero
Every brief ships with CLI hooks and API observers so we can see where learners slow down. That data loops back into our nudges within 24 hours.
- CLI scaffolds push anonymized struggles
- Canvas snapshots show how teams collaborate
- Insights feed an automated stand-up recap to mentors
Publish, Observe, Iterate
We version lab releases and swap modules like code. This lets instructors roll back to a stable build or A/B test challenge difficulty.
