  • Two mentor review rounds
  • Office hours with curriculum editor

Questions

Is coding required?

Optional. You may complete exercises in a spreadsheet or a notebook — choose what your team uses.

Can I use my employer data?

Yes, provided you have permission; we only review methodology, not proprietary numbers.

Limitations?

We do not certify forecasts for external stakeholders — outcomes are skill-building, not endorsement of any single projection.

Cohort notes

“Growth Accounting Studio made me slower in a good way — I now list what the residual could be before I title the chart.”
