System Architecture Audit: What We Look For First
When a partner asks us to audit their system architecture, the first 90 minutes determine 80% of our findings. This training walks through our opening sequence — the six areas we examine before we open any code. Database schema patterns that reveal organizational dysfunction. API designs that expose scaling ceilings. Auth architectures that create security time bombs. We share the actual audit framework used on systems ranging from early-stage MVPs to platforms processing millions in transactions.

FREE7:35The 3 Architecture Decisions That Kill Startups
Every startup that dies from technical debt made the same three mistakes — and they made them in the first 60 days. We have built and operated systems across AgriTech, FinTech, and SaaS. We have seen monolith-to-microservices migrations that cost $200K because someone split too early. We have watched auth architecture choices lock teams into vendors for years. This training walks through the three decisions — monolith timing, database commitment, and auth ownership — with real examples from our ventures, including the ones we got wrong.
FREE9:45Build a Lead Qualification AI Workflow in 30 Minutes
Most AI tutorials teach you to call an API and display a response. That works in a demo. It breaks on the first day of real traffic — bad input, runaway costs, wrong classifications sent to the wrong people. This training is different. We run AI workflows in production across six ventures: document processing, content pipelines, lead qualification, price monitoring. In this step-by-step walkthrough, you build the same lead qualification pipeline we use to process partner inquiries — a 4-stage system with schema validation, single-purpose AI classification, confidence-based routing, and cost controls. Under $2/month for 40 daily inquiries. Every pattern comes from production. Every dollar figure is real. Every mistake we warn you about is one we made first.
