Capstone: new business, new problem

Capstone: new business, new problem

Solve a brief you have not seen. Then teach one system well enough to hand it off.

Northfield answers do not count. You will build a 30-day plan for Cedar & Stone HVAC and a teach-back another junior could follow. Completing this does not guarantee a job.

Module 1

New business, new problem

Cedar & Stone HVAC only. Read the brief, change the systems, then ship a 30-day plan that respects season and capacity.

Module 2

Teach-back + talent gate

If you cannot teach it, you do not own it yet. Completing the academy is not a job.

Google

Think with Google

Free research, consumer insights, and measurement articles.

Why finish it: Think with Google trains you to ask better measurement questions. Read two recent pieces on local or auto journeys, then label every claim observed / inferred / unknown in Foundations. Do not paste their charts into a client deck as if they were Dana’s numbers.

Time: 60–90 minutes.
