+# Mode: training — Training & Course Evaluation
+
+For each course/cert the candidate asks about, evaluate 6 dimensions:
+
+| Dimension | What it evaluates |
+|-----------|-------------------|
+| North Star alignment | Does it bring closer to or further from the target goal? |
+| Recruiter signal | What do HMs think when they see this on a CV? |
+| Time and effort | Weeks × hours/week |
+| Opportunity cost | What else could be done during that time? |
+| Risks | Is content outdated? Weak brand? Too basic? |
+| Portfolio deliverable | Does it produce a demonstrable artifact? |
+
+## Verdicts
+
+- **DO** → 4-12 week plan with weekly deliverables and scoreboard
+- **DON'T DO** → better alternative with justification
+- **DO WITH TIMEBOX** (max X weeks) → condensed plan, essentials only
+
+## Priority
+
+Training that improves credibility in "production-grade AI":
+1. LLM evaluation and testing
+2. Observability and monitoring
+3. Cost/reliability trade-offs
+4. AI governance and safety
+5. Enterprise AI architecture
