The full lesson opens with an access code
You can see what this lesson covers and the milestone it sets. The full text, code, quizzes, the tutor and the AI reviews come with the K850 practice, along with weekly build sessions and code review.
Milestone forAn observable back-office agent
Choose the orchestration, justify it
Decide whether matching, invoicing and debt-chasing are one agent, a pipeline or specialist agents with a supervisor. Build the choice and write down what you gave up.
Done when
- An architecture decision record comparing at least two orchestrations
- The chosen orchestration running end to end on the sample month
- One failure case the alternative would handle better, demonstrated
Stretch: Implement the alternative and compare trajectory scores
Reviews open with an access code.
Interview practice
Questions on this topic that AI engineering interviews ask, with the companies reported to ask them. Answer the way you would out loud; Jev scores it and DeepSeek tells you what to add.
Scoring opens with an access code. You can still read the questions and prepare.
