Three paths. Pick by your baseline, not your hope.
The 4-week plan is the canonical path. The 2-week sprint and 12-week comprehensive are calibrated alternates for candidates with very different starting baselines. Take the diagnostic first, then pick the path that matches your score and weekly hours, not the one that sounds aspirational.
Pick this if…
Each card lists the profile that fits, the weekly hour commitment, and the total time investment.
2-week sprint
Compressed pass through the 4-week plan: skim weeks 1-2, sprint weeks 3-4. Skip K-pages you already know. Concentrate on practice volume.
- You're already shipping production agents on Claude API or Claude Code
- You scored ≥75% on the diagnostic without preparation
- You can dedicate 4+ hours/day for 14 days
4-week canonical (Recommended)
The canonical recommended plan. Day-by-day for week 1 (foundations + diagnostic), week-summary for weeks 2-4 (D1+D2, then D3+D4, then D5 + scenarios + final mock).
- You ship code in production but haven't built agentic systems before
- You scored 50-75% on the diagnostic
- You can dedicate 1-2 hours/day on weekdays + a longer weekend session
12-week comprehensive
Spread the 4-week themes across 12 weeks: doubled K-page reading time, more practice cycles, every concept page deeply read with code samples followed.
- You're newer to Claude or LLM development overall
- You scored <50% on the diagnostic
- You prefer a slower pace with deeper Knowledge-pillar reading
Three rules.
- Diagnostic score is the tiebreaker. Take the free 10-Q diagnostic. ≥75% → 2-week or 4-week. 50-75% → 4-week. <50% → 12-week.
- Hours available wins ties. If you can't commit 10 hrs/week, do not pick the 4-week plan. The 12-week plan covers the same material at a sustainable pace.
- Production experience is the third lever. If you have shipped agentic systems on Claude API or Claude Code, you can compress. If you haven't, you cannot, regardless of test score.
The 2-week and 12-week paths are written as alternates inside the 4-week plan page, not as separate full pages. Open the 4-week plan and scroll to the alternates section for compression / expansion guidance.
