What changes after week two

Artifacts, not abstract inspiration

Runnable slices

Each squad leaves with a storefront fragment wired to mocked services—not slideware.

Advisor-readable traces

Telemetry drills emphasize narratives store leads can skim during overnight bridges.

Rollback comics

Visual sequences explain decision forks faster than dense wiki trees for tired crews.

Honest limitations

Mentors document what we will not pretend to cover—PSP wiring stays with your platform partners.

Cadence

Three beats per sprint

01 — Shadow

Observe real handheld ordering, noisy floors included, before touching code.

02 — Build under strain

Throttle networks, reorder API payloads, and narrate tradeoffs aloud.

03 — Review with receipts

Mentors score clarity of diffs, traces, and rollback stories—not vanity metrics.

Clarifications

Quick answers before you write

Do you run live payments?

No. We rehearse flows with mock adapters; your PSP partners handle production wiring.

Is every cohort identical?

No—mentors rotate scenarios based on retail seasonality and partner feedback.

What if we are not in Seoul?

Hybrid tracks include Jeonju and Busan studio days twice per program when demand allows.
