All three days are built and every internal link resolves.

Participant files, all invented and safe to upload: aiet-sample-operations-report.txt, employee-satisfaction-2026.csv, department-budget-2026.xlsx and its .csv twin, and the eight capstone scenario files.

Deploy

Every page is self contained. CSS is inline, the logo is a base64 data URI, and there is no build step or bundler at deploy time.

Vercel serves site/ as the output directory, set in vercel.json. Import the repository in Vercel, leave the framework preset as Other, and leave the build command empty. outputDirectory in vercel.json does the rest.

cleanUrls is on, so /coded-aiet-day-1 serves the page and the .html form redirects to it. Links between pages are same directory relative, so nothing breaks either way.

The datasets and the sample report live inside site/ because the labs link to them for download. build/, datasets/ and instructor/ are excluded from the deployment by .vercelignore.

Rebuild

The pages in site/ are generated. Edit the generator, not the HTML. See build/README.md.

python3 build/build_day1_deck.py
python3 build/build_day1_lab.py
python3 build/build_day1_page.py

Theme

Taken from the CODED brand site. Navy base with a blue ramp, plus IBM Plex Sans, IBM Plex Mono and IBM Plex Sans Arabic.

Assessment links

The MAP tests and the survey are live. The URLs are recorded in build/manifest.json under assessments and written into the generators.

Element id	Item	Lives on
map-pre	Pre-program MAP test	Day 1 page CTA panel, and slide 3 of the Day 1 deck
map-post	Post-program MAP test	Day 3 page CTA panel, slide 25 of the Day 3 deck, and the lab's Task 2. Taken at 10:30, before the capstone
survey	End of program survey	Day 3 page "Before you leave" panel, slide 43 of the Day 3 deck, and the lab's Task 9
survey-foot	End of program survey	Landing page footer, Connect column

There is no quiz. The post-program MAP test is taken at 10:30 on Day 3, before the capstone, so it measures the teaching rather than the afternoon. Day 3 closes with the survey and certificates. No placeholders remain; this should return nothing:

grep -rn 'data-placeholder' site/

The security block

Five slides on where pasted text goes, anonymising before you paste, and a side by side on why a public AI tool needs more care than Microsoft Copilot: Copilot sits inside the tenant with the guardrail configured by IT, a public tool sits outside it with your own judgment as the only guardrail. Then four use case slides, one per department, each with safe productivity boosters, strict guardrails, and the ethical risk.

The capstone

Participants work in pairs and pick one of seven ideas. For every deliverable one of them builds and the other verifies. The ideas map onto the datasets already in the repo:

#	Idea	Department	Data
01	The Overtime Decision	Operations	ops-overtime, ops-hiring-costs
02	The Retention Programme	Human Resources	hr-leavers, hr-headcount
03	The Channel Rescue	Customer Service	cs-tickets, cs-staffing
04	The Supplier Consolidation	Procurement	procurement-purchase-orders
05	The Recognition Programme	People	employee-satisfaction-2026
06	The Cost Control Programme	Finance	department-budget-2026
07	Your Own Work	Bring your own	Redacted, instructor sign off first

Each idea carries the situation, the initiative, its data, and a "watch out" that points at the trap without giving it away. Every dataset has deliberate flaws. Notes save under aiet_day3_lab.

The four deliverables, in order, are an executive briefing, two or three charts that each defend one claim, a stakeholder deck that carries those charts, and a communication pack with three reusable templates.

Every section ends on a break slide with a countdown. The three short breaks offer 10 or 15 minutes, lunch offers 45 or 60. The coffee button in the deck nav opens the same timer at any point.

All seven Day 1 tasks run inside Claude. Notes and done marks save to the browser under aiet_day1_lab.

A note on instructor material

This repository is public. Answer keys, planted fault solutions and facilitator notes are deliberately not committed. They are listed in .gitignore and stay with the instructor.
