First Workshop · Live Cohorts

The Triad of Lenses.

Adversarial prompting in three directions — inward at your own thinking, outward at the systems you run, and against your own draft work. One workshop, built for all five archetypes. Pick yours to see your version of the ladder.

THE SYSTEM · Builder

The Triad of Lenses

Adversarial prompting in three directions — turn the model into a gym, not an oracle.

You stopped chasing tickets and started ending the ones that keep coming back. The risk now is shipping AI-accelerated work you cannot trace, debug, or defend. This workshop builds the reflexes that survive velocity.

The three lenses, for the Builder

  1. 01The Mentor LensCognitive Trajectory

    Read the code, config, and topology yourself before you let a model summarize it. Twenty minutes forming your own picture is what makes the AI's version auditable instead of authoritative.

  2. 02The Defense LensSystem Vulnerabilities

    Hunt the lethal trifecta in what the agent generates — code that couples private-data access, untrusted input, and an exfiltration path — plus injection riding in through dependencies and tool output.

  3. 03The Offense LensDraft Work

    Turn the model into an adversarial systems engineer against your change: the failure modes, the production assumptions it leans on, and the rollback path it does not have.

You leave with

  • Trace and defend every line you ship
  • Catch lethal-trifecta and injection in agent-generated changes
  • An adversarial review that finds the missing rollback before prod does

THE THREE LENSES

Every archetype walks the same ladder. Only the mental model and the content taught change. The model becomes a gym, not an oracle.

01

The Mentor Lens

Cognitive Trajectory

Turn the prompt inward. Configure the model into a withholding mentor — it holds back the answer so you stay in the apprentice's seat and build the reasoning yourself, the deliberate-difficulty drill that keeps your own schema from atrophying.

02

The Defense Lens

System Vulnerabilities

Turn the prompt outward, at the AI systems you procure, deploy, and govern. Prompt injection, jailbreaking, indirect injection, system-prompt leakage, and the lethal trifecta — found before an attacker finds them.

03

The Offense Lens

Draft Work

Point the model at your own work as a helpful adversary. Structured self-critique, devil's advocate, pre-mortems, steel-manning and anti-steel-manning that break the plan in the room, not in production.

THREE WAYS TO RUN IT

01

Live Virtual Cohort

6-week cohort, weekly 2-hour sessions plus a dedicated Slack workspace for between-session work.

BEST FOR
Remote teams
02

In-Person Intensive

2-day deep-dive at a venue. Mornings build the mental models; afternoons drill them against your real artifacts.

BEST FOR
High-stakes teams
03

On-Site Custom

Tailored for your org (10–30 people). We adapt the curriculum to your stack, your incidents, your archetypes.

BEST FOR
Enterprise / leadership
