Welcome

You now know what the agent's report got wrong. Now comes the part that cannot be delegated: explaining it to the management committee in one page and three charts, without claiming more than the data supports. In four blocks you will read charts that mislead without lying, commission and review your own, define the indicators to be tracked and write the note. Have the Hornos Lumbre data and your AI assistant to hand: here it draws and drafts, and you answer for what is shown.

What you will find

• Block 1. Reading a chart: what it shows and what it hides. A chart answers a question and is the result of a chain of decisions: which axis, which period, which scale. You learn to say which question it answers, what the eye compares well and how the same data can tell opposite stories without a single false number, whether a person or an AI assistant draws it.
• Block 2. Asking an assistant for a chart and reviewing it. How to choose the chart for the question, how to commission it from an AI assistant and what to check before showing it: which rows it comes from, what it summed or averaged, what it left out and what the axes say. The risk it teaches you to see: the well-drawn chart on the wrong rows.
• Block 3. Indicators: measuring what matters. An indicator is a definition before it is a figure: what it counts, what it does not count, which period and source, and who calculates it. What happens when it becomes a target, what an AI assistant decides when the definition is silent and what a figure is compared with before giving it importance.
• Block 4. Telling the story and saying what is not known. From analysis to decision: a one-page note with five sections, the conclusion first and the limits in plain view. And how to rewrite an AI assistant's draft, separating fact, calculation and opinion, before signing it and saying which part the machine did.

How you will work

Each lesson opens with a short introduction and, below it, several pills: short pieces that explain a single idea and end with a case or something to do. Read them in order the first time; afterwards you can go back to the one you need.

Where you see an interactive practice, do it before reading on: it is there for you to decide, calculate or classify, and the explanation comes afterwards. It does not save what you write, so copy whatever you want to keep.

Each block ends with an exam of six questions. All the answers come with a comment, including the wrong ones: failing and reading why is part of the method.

At The Singular Academy you learn by solving real cases. If at the end of a lesson you do not know what you would do differently tomorrow, go back over it.
