Why we do this differently
Here's what happened. Back in 2018, I was teaching weekend workshops on equity valuation. Students would show up eager, work through textbook problems, then completely freeze when faced with messy real-world data.
The issue wasn't intelligence. It was that nobody was showing them how to bridge that gap between theory and the chaos of actual markets. So we rebuilt everything from scratch.
Now our programs start with real datasets from day one. You'll work with incomplete information, contradictory signals, and time pressure because that's what the job actually is.
