Description
Participants build demand sketches from synthetic datasets, stress-test assumptions, and rehearse how pricing committees debate trade-offs. The practicum avoids any calculator that mimics consumer lending or speculative asset comparisons.
What is included
- Three intensive studio blocks
- CSV lab packs with guided Jupyter-style notebooks
- Peer review grid for assumption transparency
- Cross-org workflow mapping templates
- Live critique of two team decks
- Office hours with the Competition Strategy Instructor
- Digital certificate of completion
Outcomes
- Ship a pricing memo with explicit demand uncertainty
- Run a cross-functional rehearsal using the cohort scorecard
- Document what data would still be needed for stronger claims
FAQ
No. All exercises rely on instructor-supplied synthetic sets so you can share screens safely inside your firewall.
We require at least one product or strategy counterpart per team so debates stay grounded in operational reality.
We do not build bespoke forecasting models for your SKU catalog; outcomes stay educational.
Participant notes
The demand-curve sketch sprint forced us to show our priors on one slide. That alone changed how we prep for internal reviews.
