The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build a v0 sales-research agent and write the 90-day plan to make it self-improving in production.
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Build a useful tool-using LLM agent end-to-end in a week
