Quick answers

How cohorts work.

How does a 12-week cohort work?

A mixed-role team of four to six ships one real use case over 12 weeks, gate by gate. You spend about 8 hours a week: about 1 taught, 1.5 on coaching and peer review, and the rest on the build. Sessions run in IST evenings and on Saturdays.

What are gates G1 to G6?

Gates are signed decisions with linked evidence, not meetings. G1 comes in week 3, once the data is ready; G2, G3 and G4 follow in weeks 5, 7 and 9; G5 closes week 12. G6, the final gate, comes at week 16, when Builder (C3) is awarded.
