SQL arc for VN cohorts

This path strings together foundation SQL, warehouse modeling, and reporting memo weeks. It is optional—you can take modules à la carte—but teams use it as an internal promotion checklist.

1. Spreadsheet to SQL bridge — builds shared vocabulary with finance partners.
2. Warehouse modeling lab — grain statements, SCD memos, dbt tests.
3. Metric layer studio — canonical definitions with row-level checks.
4. Narrative decks from query logs — turns repeated ad-hoc SQL into reviewable storylines.

Each step lists expected hours and mentor touchpoints in the syllabus PDF. If your overlap window shifts mid-way, we document the change rather than pretending schedules are frictionless.
