Questions people ask before they start

Do I need to know how to code or use AI tools already?

No. The course walks you through turning raw exports into a rollup using AI step by step, starting with the concepts (which KPIs matter) before the hands-on build.

What kind of data do I need to follow along?

You'll want marketing exports similar to campaign spend, pipeline, and conversion data, since the 'Try It' lesson has you build a rollup from raw exports like these.

Will this teach me general marketing strategy, or is it focused on KPIs specifically?

It's focused specifically on KPIs — cutting through vanity metrics, understanding CAC/MQL→SQL/channel ROI, and comparing spend to pipeline generated, not broader campaign strategy.

How do I know if a KPI I'm looking at is misleading?

That's covered directly in the 'How to Spot a Misleading Metric' lesson, which comes right after you learn to build the rollup so you can evaluate what you've built.

Is this course about building dashboards with specific software, or the underlying skill?

It's about the underlying skill: identifying the right KPIs and using AI to turn raw exports into a rollup, rather than teaching one specific dashboard tool.

What will I actually produce by the end?

By the end of the 'Try It' lesson, you'll have built your first KPI rollup from raw exports using the AI approach taught throughout the course.
