1.1 Reading and Synthesizing
Use Claude to digest a folder of company docs and discovery notes, and produce a synthesis you’d actually defend to your VP.
Why and when
Section titled “Why and when”This is the move you’ll use most: inheriting a product, returning from interviews, prepping a brief on a deadline. Get fast and trustworthy at synthesis and everything downstream gets easier.
- summarize from real files, not general knowledge
- keep quotes traceable to their sources
- make inference visibly different from evidence
The check that matters
Section titled “The check that matters”Can you point to the file behind every claim? If Claude didn’t flag its own inferences until you asked, that’s the lesson.
Go do it
Section titled “Go do it”The full lesson (objective, why and when, files, prompts, checklist, extension, and a rescue prompt for when you’re lost) is course-materials/lesson-modules/module-1/1.1-reading-and-synthesizing/LESSON.md.
