training

Should you take that $4,000 ML systems course? The Coursera specialization? The expensive AWS certification? training mode scores a learning investment against your stated career direction and surfaces the actual return on time and money.

What it does

training mode reads the course or certification details (syllabus, time commitment, cost), reads your North Star section from config/profile.yml, and scores the investment against three dimensions: skill gap closure, signal value for target roles, and opportunity cost.

When to use it

Use training when you are tempted by a learning offering but unsure if it actually moves you toward your stated direction. Particularly useful for expensive certifications and bootcamps.

Example

`/career-ops training` + course name and URL — output is a scored evaluation with recommendation.

Gotchas

The mode is biased toward your stated North Star. If you have not filled in config/profile.yml's North Star section thoughtfully, the evaluation will be shallow.
