The technical decision-maker’s playbook for building, evaluating, and scaling AI Systems. Level 02 goes beyond concepts — it gives you the architecture vocabulary, the design trade-offs, and the evaluation rigour to lead a build from first brief to production.
Modules
From Concept to Blueprint
The vocabulary, the spec, and the five decisions that belong to you.
Lessons
Model Selection & Trade-offs
Choosing the right model for the right task — on cost, capability, and constraints.
Lessons
Prompt Engineering as System Design
System prompt architecture, output schemas, and validation layers.
Lessons
RAG Systems
Knowledge architecture, retrieval quality, and the decisions that determine whether RAG succeeds.
Lessons
Agents & Orchestration
Tool design, agent architectures, and knowing when not to use an agent.
Lessons
Evaluation Frameworks
Building an eval harness and the metrics that matter in production.
Lessons
Production Architecture
Deployment patterns, observability, and maintenance loops.
Lessons
Cost & Economics
Token economics, cost modelling before you build, and the build vs. buy vs. configure decision.
Lessons
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Data residency, PII, regulatory requirements, and auditability.
Lessons
Leading the Build
The decision-taker's role across the four phases of a Build Studio engagement.
