Recover a Red-RAG Enterprise Implementation Mid-Flight
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Interview a delivery team, diagnose 5 root causes, re-baseline a failing RAG project, and build a steering deck. Earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The system-integrator (publicly listed, ISO 27001 certified, mostly automotive + manufacturing clients) cannot afford to lose this client — they account for around 9 percent of the SI's pipeline.
