Live Intensives.

Three hours. One decision. Real working time. A Live Intensive is not a webinar — it is a structured session built around a single problem class, designed so that every participant leaves with something they can use. The topic is specific. The method is precise. The time is used. There is no padding, no motivational framing, and no content that could have been a document.

The Format

What a session actually is.

Every Live Intensive is built around a single lens from the Clarity Point Framework, applied to a problem class that participants recognise from their own work. The format is consistent across every session: a defined opening, a working core, and a close that produces something tangible. What varies is the topic, the decision type, and the specific constraint being interrogated.

The difference between a Live Intensive and a lecture is structural. A lecture delivers information. An intensive uses it. Participants bring their own context — a real decision, a real constraint, a real review board — and work on it within the session. The facilitator does not present to the room. The facilitator holds the room to a method.

Opening Problem Statement

The session opens not with a definition but with a problem. A real scenario, a real constraint, a decision that needs to be made. Participants engage before the concept is named.

Concept and Story

The framework lens for the session is introduced through a case: a real organisation, a real challenge, a real outcome. The concept emerges from the story, not ahead of it.

Core Working Session

The working core of the intensive. Participants apply the method to a defined problem — individually or in breakout — producing a tangible output before the session closes. This is not discussion. This is work.

Q&A and Application

Questions are handled inside the application exercise, not after it. Participants surface their own decisions, constraints, and blockers. The facilitator applies the method to each in real time.

The session closes with a defined output — a decision framed, a constraint mapped, an artefact drafted. Every participant leaves with something they did not have three hours earlier.

The Topic Library

Twelve sessions across three tracks.

The Production Ready Standard

The decision: what does production-ready mean for this system, in this context, under these constraints?

Most practitioners inherit a vague standard or none at all. This session builds a negotiated, documented definition that the rest of the design work can be held against.

Economic Decisions First

The decision: how to frame an architectural choice as an economic argument that wins rooms the technical argument loses.

Architectural decisions are economic decisions wearing a technical coat. This session teaches the translation — from constraint to cost, from option to trade-off, from recommendation to justification.

ADRs That Survive Scrutiny

The decision: how to write an Architecture Decision Record that holds up under an ARB, a compliance review, and a change of team.

An ADR that does not survive a board review is not a decision — it is a draft. This session applies the constraint map and economic justification that turn a technical note into a defensible record.

HITL as a Structural Constraint

The decision: where human oversight is a structural requirement, not a design option — and how to build that into the architecture from the beginning.

Human-in-the-loop is frequently treated as a feature. In regulated environments it is a constraint. This session determines where the boundary sits, what it costs, and how it is documented.

Model Selection as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem

The decision: how to choose a model not on benchmark performance but on the constraints the production environment actually imposes.

Latency, cost, explainability obligations, data governance, and retraining frequency are constraints, not preferences. This session maps them into a selection framework that a risk committee can read.

SHAP as a Compliance Artefact

The decision: how to produce explainability output that satisfies a regulator, not just a data scientist.

Explainability is a compliance requirement in many regulated environments. This session moves SHAP from a diagnostic tool to a documented artefact — one that answers the questions a risk officer will actually ask.

Drift Detection as a Governed Process

The decision: how to design drift detection and the retraining trigger as a governed, auditable process rather than an ad hoc operational response.

Detecting drift is a technical problem. Governing what happens next is an organisational one. This session produces the trigger policy, the ownership model, and the audit trail that makes a retraining decision defensible.

The Unbuilt Model

The decision: how to identify when the right answer is not a model — and how to make that case with the same rigour as the argument for building one.

The most undervalued capability in ML engineering is knowing when not to build. This session applies the economic and constraint framework to the decision to stop — before the model is trained, after a review, or mid-deployment.

Getting the ARB to Yes

The decision: how to read the room, address the unstated objection, and move a technically correct proposal through an architecture review board.

Technically correct work fails at the ARB when the practitioner cannot read who is in the room or what they need to hear. This session maps the decision-makers, the blockers, and the language that moves the room.

The Sprint Negotiation

The decision: how to get architectural work into a sprint and keep it there when it competes with delivery pressure.

Architecture does not automatically survive sprint planning. This session teaches the practitioner to frame architectural decisions in the language of delivery value — so that the work gets prioritised rather than deferred.

The Handoff Standard

The decision: how to give or receive a handoff of a production system with the rigour that a regulated environment requires.

A system that cannot be handed off cleanly is not production-ready. This session produces the checklist, the verification protocol, and the acceptance criteria that make a handoff a documented transfer of ownership — not an assumption.

Reading the Turtles

The decision: how to identify who the real decision-makers are in an organisation — and what each one needs before they will say yes.

Every organisation has a layer of authority beneath the formal structure. This session maps the individuals who block, delay, or enable approval — and teaches the practitioner to address each one on their own terms.

Sessions are scheduled quarterly. Not every session from the library runs every quarter — the schedule is determined by demand and available dates. Join the interest list to be notified when the next session is announced and to indicate which topics matter most to you.

Pricing

$500

Per session · Per participant

Individual sessions. No subscription required. Pay for the session you need when you need it — no cohort commitment, no company approval required, no prerequisite.

Live Intensives are designed for the practitioner who needs to move on a specific decision or capability now — not at the next budget cycle. The format makes individual purchase straightforward. One person, one session, one payment.

Every live session is recorded. If you cannot attend the live date, the recording becomes available as an on-demand product shortly after the session runs.
