Syllabus

01

From Summarizer to Research Partner

Stop treating Claude as a summarization tool and start using it as a research partner that extracts findings, identifies gaps, and produces targeted analysis.

02

Summarization That Actually Works

Move beyond generic summaries with guided frameworks, audience-level outputs, and meta-summarization techniques that extract exactly what you need.

03

Comparative Analysis Across Multiple Sources

Use Claude to compare multiple documents side by side — finding agreements, contradictions, gaps, and actionable recommendations across your sources.

04

Data Interpretation Without Code

Upload spreadsheets and CSVs to Claude and get meaningful analysis — pattern recognition, trend narratives, and structured comparisons — without writing a single line of code.

05

Trusting but Verifying

Build verification habits that catch AI errors before they reach your stakeholders — from quote-first prompting to a complete verification workflow.
