WHY THIS 4-TRACK STRUCTURE WORKS

✅ POWER BEFORE COMPLEXITY

Start with immediate results — use AI agents safely in your PLC workflows from day one. Build confidence before diving into multi-agent systems.

✅ TRUST BEFORE AUTONOMY

Master supervised, advisory agents first. Only then progress to coordination patterns and eventually autonomous decision-making with proper guardrails.

✅ DEPLOYMENT BEFORE PLATFORMS

Learn to ship production systems with monitoring, cost control, and rollback strategies before designing distributed intelligent infrastructure.

✅ ARCHITECTURE IS EARNED

You don't start as an architect. You become one by mastering each level: Use → Build → Deploy → Design Platforms.
