Judgment Lab

An 8-week cohort course

A flight simulator for engineering decisions.

AI now writes most of the code, so the struggle that used to build judgment is gone. Judgment Lab brings the feedback loop back: you make real calls, commit before you see the outcome, and find out fast where your instincts are wrong.

Start week 1Read the syllabus

Every exercise runs the same loop

  1. Decide

    Make a real call under realistic constraints: a design, a review, a next debugging step.

  2. Commit

    Write your answer and a confidence score before you see anything else. No AI, no peeking.

  3. Reveal

    See what actually happened, and how a senior engineer reasoned through the same case.

  4. Reflect

    Grade yourself honestly. Your confidence log shows where your instincts are off.

Eight weeks, about four hours each

  1. Week 1Calibration baseline
  2. Week 2Reviewing AI code
  3. Week 3Mental models by hand
  4. Week 4Design under constraints
  5. Week 5How systems fail
  6. Week 6Decisions over time
  7. Week 7Capstone, part 1
  8. Week 8Capstone, part 2

Practise on your own any time: the case library has 10 cases to work through, and your log tracks how well your confidence matches reality.
