How one project goes.
Read the short lesson
10 minutes on the idea behind the task. Plain English, worked examples, and no jargon you have to look up first.
Do it on real files
You get a folder of messy work: spreadsheets with merged cells, a scanned PDF, an email thread that contradicts itself. Then you do the task in the tool.
Get it graded
Submit what you made. We score it against a written rubric and name the edit that would have met the criterion you missed.
Q3 vendor renewal brief
drafted in Claude Cowork
- Every claim traced to a source file - met
- Costs reconciled against the signed contract - met
- Renewal risks ranked, not just listed - not yet met
What to fix
Your risk section lists six items in the order you found them. Rank them by cost exposure, then lead with the top two.
5 finished pieces of work you can show your boss or your client.
A renewal brief that cites its sources
12 months of invoices, a signed contract and a thread of complaints, pulled into one brief where every number traces back to a file.
Claude45 minA messy spreadsheet turned into a decision
400 rows, 3 date formats and 2 people’s naming conventions. You spend your time on the recommendation.
Gemini40 minA synthesis across 40 pages of PDFs
Scanned reports and a policy document that contradict each other. You find where they disagree and say which one to follow.
Claude50 minA client update that survives forwarding
You write it so the person your client forwards it to, who has none of the context, still knows what to do.
ChatGPT30 minA workflow you reuse every week
You build it around a task you repeat, so you keep using it long after the course ends.

Pricing
Pay once a year, because the tools change.
Every lesson shows the date we last checked it against each tool. When a vendor ships a change that breaks a step, we rewrite the lesson and you get the new one.
