FAQs

Is the content AI tool-specific?

We demonstrate multiple recommended tools per topic – both free and paid – allowing teams the flexibility to decide what is most suitable for their firm whilst still developing robust skillsets.

How are participants assessed?

Weekly deliverables use a simple rubric, including accuracy, sources and traceability, clarity, speed, and privacy hygiene.

Can the program reflect our thesis and stack?

Yes. A Discovery Session before the cohort lets us tailor rubrics, prompts, and examples to your firm’s focus areas.
