Find the starting point — confidence, role, goals, tools, and risks — before anything is scoped.
AI Foundations · Curriculum design
A five-program AI-fluency curriculum for non-technical professionals, built from training I delivered on prior contracts and organized around one teaching architecture: the Fit-First AI Method.
The Fit-First AI Method
The method stays consistent; the language, examples, pace, and risk boundaries are calibrated to the people in the room.
Find the starting point — confidence, role, goals, tools, and risks — before anything is scoped.
Give the core idea in plain language, with examples that make sense in the learner’s own work.
Practice on real tasks until the skill repeats without me in the room.
Five programs
What AI is, what it is good and bad at, and how to begin using it with judgment.
Context, constraints, iteration, and evaluation — not copy-paste formulas that break when the task changes.
SOPs, single-source-of-truth habits, and document lifecycle practices that make AI answers more trustworthy.
Clear habits for what not to paste, when to anonymize, and how to review AI output.
Intake, reporting, status updates, and follow-up — where AI can save time under human review.
Where it came from
On prior contracts I repeatedly ended up as the informal AI resource — helping non-technical colleagues evaluate tools, validate output, and build safer habits. AI Foundations turns that ad-hoc coaching into a structured, assessment-led curriculum built around the work people actually do.
What's in the package
A diagnostic intake, the foundations curriculum, a plain-language model overview, and an application lab where each learner practices on their own real task. Delivered as a session, a workshop, or a short series.
